Unexpected Travel

I found out this week that my employer no longer has a tech support office in Minneapolis.  My laptop has had problems for over a month and I finally got someone to take a look at it.

Turns out the closest place to get the laptop fixed is Rochester, Minnesota.  I could have mailed it in which would have meant at least 3 days without it and therefore no work.  So I drove to Rochester this morning.

The Rochester facility is enormous and blue and so much of it is empty.  It is an okay drive that takes exactly 1-1/2 hours each way.  It is frustrating that this is now the situation with support.
