Hung out in Mason, OH at the hotel. Training at Addison/McKee in Lebanon. They surprised our instructor by assigning him the gig the day before we got there. Two days training was covered in about three hours. The rest of the time was him walking us around in the back showing us the new hotness we could spend a hundred grand on to upgrade our old lameness when we got home.
So, basically, we spent about $1400/person for five people to go and get a day and a half sales pitch.
I *did* get to spend some time with my friend. While I was doing that, the other four guys went to the Horseshoe Casino in Cincy. They gambled a bit, then went into a restaurant to grab some grub and watch the Cardinals blow it in the NLDS. They noticed that the food on the menu didn't have prices. But hey, it was just steak, right? The four of them ended up with a bill of over $400 total. The process engineer with the company card got everyone to agree that the story was we all went and took our instructor and two other guys out for dinner.
And when I got back home, my middle daughter had moved in with us with her boyfriend and their son. I'd been texted this development, so it wasn't a surprise. But it put a nice capper on the week.
ETA: We drove past King's Island twice a day while we were there. Had we stuck around another day we could have gotten in for free if we dressed a pet up in a halloween costume.
