Live from Jacksonville, FL...it's the traveling tech writer show...

So, here we are in Jacksonville, Florida. Y'all probably have no clue why I'm here. Except for a couple of you, y'all probably didn't know that I was here.

It was not supposed to happen this way. My Atlanta gig was supposed to get extended, and I was supposed to get to go HOME. Or I was supposed to get this gig, but I was supposed to get to do it from HOME.

It isn't going to happen that way. Friday morning a good friend from this Jacksonville gig rolled me out of bed to find out how my availability was looking. Turns out they had a guy quit, with no notice, and wanted to staff the position by Monday (that's Monday as in two days ago). So I told him I'd see what I could do, and we might be able to work something out, but I definitely had certain things to finish that could not be handed off.

So his people talked to my people, who talked to each other, and eventually the deal was made.
