Since no one told me Fox Rent-a-Car is a shady establishment, I rented a car through them because it was the best deal and it took me nearly 2 hrs from when I got my luggage to when I got my room. They gave me a key and said, "Just go outside and push the lock button. It's a PT Cruiser, white...I think." There were no parking space numbers and there was no license plate number on my key. I feel like I'm driving a stolen vehicle the cops have been looking for.
I was busy all day Monday and finally got to bed at 2AM. The person I was picking up at the airport got in at 12AM instead of 7PM and the airline lost all their luggage. The next day didn't start until 7AM, but I woke up at 4AM and couldn't get back to sleep. So after being awake for 26 straight hours I only got 2 hrs of sleep.
I went for a run and got ready to take a shower...but my shower didn't work. Fortunately my entire office was on this trip with me so I called a friend with a working shower. An hour into the opening session I went back to the airport to retrieve the lost luggage and made it back just in time for the next event to start. When I finally found a 2 hour break in my day I decided to take a nap. During my nap I received 4 phone calls so I cut that short after 20 minutes and did some homework.
My last event for the day ran an hour late so I didn't get to head out for dinner until 9PM. After dinner I was convinced to hang out for one drink. At which point I was carded in such a way that made me feel like a 12-yr old trying to buy alcohol. One $12 drink later, I decided to turned in since I was running short on sleep and the person I had picked up at the airport Monday had to be back at the airport at 6:30AM. The hole day wasn't lost though.
As I was heading back to my room I walked by the Bellagio fountain show and noticed a lady really enjoying the display of water and light. She was smiling as if this was the greatest thing she had ever seen. I took an extra second to look at her because she looked a little too happy (even for Vegas). Then I noticed she has tears of joy streaming down her face. No joke.
So I got a little enjoyment out of my 47 hour day.
