Thanks for the nice comments.
After posting, I forced myself to do some work, which helped me to feel better (odd... doing work shouldn't really make one feel better... hee hee). At the meeting, the computer guy was not around, so everything was ok, and Carrie's great idea of putting the file on cds solves that problem. The super weird thing is that the computer guy was in the mailroom/lunchroom area after the meeting (we had left over food that we were leaving in there for others to eat). And he was very pleasant and asked if I still had files to send him. It was very odd.
But the meeting went well and I got a bunch of stuff completed (though not my lecture for tomorrow), so the day was redeemed. Now, if one of these days I could post some knitting pictures or get a bit of writing done on my dissertation, things would be really awesome!
Oh, and to finish up on the Memphis trip...
On day 4, we had a yummy breakfast at the Blue Plate Cafe and then went to the National Civil Rights museum, which was incredible. For dinner, we ate at Club 152 and had more pulled pork sandwiches.
On day 5, we got a cab back to the airport. And then sat and sat at the airport. Our flight got delayed for a looong time. It was supposedly because of high winds at Newark, but the pilot made an announcement (once we got on the plane) that Newark apparently overbooks flights and that was the real reason for the delay. The flight wasn't bad, but did involve a landing delay. Then a train ride and another cab and home sweet home!

Hey, Kim, you should pull a "southern charm" thing on the computer guy and tell him how you did everything yourself and how well it worked out. Maybe you picked up some tips in Memphis? :) The guy needs a kick in the ego. Sometimes these guys think that since they are masters of the computers, they're masters of the world-- but they're really hired only as *support*. Not kings of the world. :)

Did you fly back on Monday. We got the "high winds" delay from West Palm Beach and had to sit on the plane on the tarmac for over an hour!
