Greensbor... ing?

Hello from Greensboro NC, or as a friend's sister calls it, Greensboring (apparently she didn't find it exciting when she lived here). I've been told (sarcastically) that I need to go visit the giant, 4 story chest of drawers in nearby High Point. But in the tradition of trying to find anything unique to the area where I am traveling in, I had dinner at Bojangle's fried chicken and got a 6 pack of Cheerwine soda. Oh, I also bagged a Carolina Blonde. Unfortunately, that's literal, as that's a type of beer, and I just removed it from the bag I bought it in and am drinking it now.
Tomorrow begins a week of training... many people have been here for three weeks already, I'm only gonna be here for one. Hopefully there will be people there to have dinner with. Maybe some real Carolina blonds. :)

So I checked into the Mariott Residence Inns, where people who are gonna be here for like the whole 9 weeks stay. I became a silver member of whatever their CRM program is (customer relations managment... something we learned in marketing). And because of that, I was given a full complement of... a bottle of Vasa natural spring water. The clerk literally said, "and for being a silver member, you get a bottle of water." I thought she was being funny, but no, that's all I got. I guess when you get to be a gold member you might get a soda. At the Wyndham in the Bahamas, we got water, drinks, and chocolate chip cookies. And I was only a measly normal member, not silver!

Olympic word of the day: Twizzle. From ice dancing... it's when you do turns on one skate without your partner. Apparently the two guy announcers couldn't resist making fun of the word either:

Guy announcer 1: So that twizzle was not a fizzle?
Guy announcer 2: There's no schnizzle about that twizzle.

I'm sure if there was a camera shot on the lady ice dancing expert commentator, she would've had a dirty look.

So OK, the goal for this week is to use the words "holeshot" and "twizzle" in context.
