We kicked off the 2005 IKECA meeting last night with a bang. We started with some heavy drinking, huge losses at the blackjack tables and of course through the night were the calls back to the wives to confirm that we we not at a strip club or in the company of some lovely escort.
We started off with some jumbo drinks at the bar and headed over to the Stratosphere to get the shit scared out of us. Remember that the Stratosphere is 110 stories high, and some genius wakes up some day and says hey why done we build some rides on the top of this 110 story building, and some other guys say I got a better idea, lets make one that shoots you over the side of the building and makes you feel like you are going to fall to your death? And guess what there are people stupid enough to ride on them and the ones that aren't quite stupid enough they fill up with those jumbo drinks until they say hey lets go hang over the side of a 110 story building.
All in all we prepared quite well for the test, having company meetings, watching training videos and we even had a company test review before we went in. Grant is here too and he brought one of his guys and I saw them studying hard as well. The difference is Grant and his guy will both probably ace the test while Chris and I will be lucky if we get half the questions right. I guess thats the price you pay for staying up until 2 in the morning doing sake shots, oh well I guess there is always the next convention. Hopefully they will hold it in Cleveland or St Louis so there isn't a readily available and abundant amount of free booze to guide you away from your studies.
