Nov. 29th (The fifth day)

Since we arrived in Chicago, the weather had been unusually balmy unlike the normal weather of November in Chicago according to Frank who was visiting Chicago for the fifth time. But from today, it started to get really cold. In the morning, Eunmi had a meeting with our CEO at the hotel restaurant so I decided to call room service and have my breakfast delivered. I thank my company for its generous support.:)
Frank, Eunmi and Dr. Lee were supposed to leave for Seattle in the afternoon to visit a potential client and demonstrate our products. Then, I was being left with John and Kurt in Chicago.:( Before they left, Frank asked me and Kurt to get him the probes for demo and a copy of one carnet that he was going to take with him. Suddenly I realized that I left the carnet in my hotel room and Kurt noticed it. Maybe it was the chance for him to get me in trouble. He said "What? Tell John immediately. How many probes are there in the box? How many? Oh, we are in trouble. This is so bad.". He was trying to make me freak out. And I got upset and raised my voice tone and said "Don't make a scene. There are all the probes in the box.". It's interesting that I am gradually forgetting Kurt's behaviors that pissed me off in Chicago. I can't describe them precisely now and I don't want to write about the details of unpleasant stuff. Hmm...
John went to the airport to drop off our CEO and there were only Kurt and me at the booth. As it was getting close to the last day of the exhibition, not many people were visiting our booth. The interesting thing was after receiving many visitors for a few days at the booth, I could tell what kind of people were important to deal with and what kind of people were not. Kurt and I decided to close the booth at 4:55pm and went back to the hotel. When John came back from the airport, we had dinner at the Thai restaurant since it was the most decent place to eat. I didn't complain about eating at the same restaurant every night any more.:)
Apparently standing at the booth and talking to people all day was not an easy job so I was very tired at the end of the day. Since Eunmi left, I could use the hotel room alone. It was good to be alone after spending a few nights with Eunmi in the same room. I watched TV to feel I was in America:) and went to sleep.

jenny: you need to remove the actual names from your blog - people can access it by doing company names searches on google and then get access to confidential info.
this is from a friend who wants to make sure you do not get in trouble :-)

I didn't realize I wrote the actual name of my company again. Ok, I will remove it. But I am pretty sure that people here never google "my company" at blogsearch.
Thank you, a considerate friend of mine.:)
