Final day at the education session down South was Thursday…  two education sessions, two tests and an IBM exec presentation after a lengthy lunch and a wee amble out in the coutryside and we were off to Heathrow T5…   A very kind collegue took pity on my economy ticket status and signed me into the BA lounge and we sat and chatted about snowboarding, wakeboarding and all the changes coming into effect in Scotland for IBM so we can be better aligned to our client priorities…

Time flies as they say…  he went off for his early flight back to Glasgow and I got blogging…  then realised that I was at the other end of the airport (South lounge) whilst my plane was departing from the North end of the building…

I packed up the laptop and bolted out the lounge at high speed with only 15 mins left to board the flight before departure and then legged it along the entire length of the terminal only to be told that everyone had been quick to board and that my case was now being disembarked!

Uch well another 2 hours in a business lounge, free dinner and a glass of wine was not too hard to swallow and it meant that on a day that there would be 0 training I actually managed a 396 metre dash !  Is there any benefit for the legs in running in a high heels?!
