    You can always carry your laptop to orientation too.I start a company this Monday and bringing my laptop to orientation because I don't trust the cleaning lady.

    I have had instructors keep things for me while out on the range and nothing ever happened.

    Thanks for asking, I'm going to Tontitown AR to do that Pam thing. I'm without family and have no bills to pay, so I'm only in it for the experience. That's all I'm hoping they can deliver for me, some good training. I'm eager to get out there and learn!

    Whatever you do don't leave it in the hotel room. Twice last year I had my clock cleaned by housekeeping. They claimed they thought I'd checked out. Bs! No restitution was ever made, so I gave them a lasting gift in the way of bad reviews on the Internet that should last them a lifetime.

    In one case after a month had passed the hotel manager called to ask why I'd given the hotel such a bad rap on the service. After explaining to him that his room service had stolen everything from my room he never offered to make good on it. And i never offered to remove from Trip Adviser the nastygram I gave his hotel. You are right pattyj. It's the principle.

    And who is Sreamin Meanie? Never heard of this guy! :biggrin_25520:
