Oh, that reminds me. ND and I will have a rental car, and we're planning to drive to HotR on Saturday, We can fit 2-3 people in the back seat if anyone would like a ride. (Scola, I'm looking at you, you handsome devil!)

Fuck. Checked my work email because am neurotic and find that our long delayed office move is now scheduled - for the day I get back. Which I assume means that we'll have to be packed and ready the day before. Ugh. I don't want to come in early! But I even less want somebody packing up my desk.

Oh bummer! Will you still have time to hang out with us on Monday and/or Tuesday, Brenda?

(Also, did aurelia give you her key?)

I haz keys!

If I do go in early, I'll probably want to do it afterhours anyway. Should probably contact someone and figure this out, but I really, really don't want to.

I'm home and I'm going to work awhile before trying again.

I have no idea what they were so interested in, unless they were wondering why I haven't replaced my large clunky laptop. I don't even know if they were really doing anything, or they just pulled it off the belt and forgot it. While waiting, I was making conversation and said, "Boy, this is a lot of work." The TSA guy said that I had no idea how much work they really had to do and that the threats were getting worse every day. I think I sprained my eyes, rolling them.

I got to the gate 5-10 minutes before the scheduled time and the plane was still sitting there, but they said they closed the door 10 minutes before the flight time. I'm afraid I was kind of a spectacle, sobbing behind the other poor suckers who didn't make it while still breathing heavily from sprinting from the escalator past 20 gates. I like flying. It's the part on the ground that will kill you.

Anyway, I'm now one of 2 standbys on the 7:55 flight and hope to get into Madison at 10:35. I do have a seat on the Milwaukee-Madison leg. Sail, I'll let you know if I have a seat when I know.

Ginger, that really sucks hard. I'm sending big vibes to the airline people to get you on that flight!

I've got sooo much to do before tomorrow. I'm stuck here until 6:00 or so tonight, then I have to run over to the store and see if I can find any decent tops (to wear with the skirt I have) or maybe even a dress, then head home and clean, do laundry, dishes, shower, pack, and try to get to sleep before 1:00 am. Then get up in the morning, take the car over to Jiffy Lube for an oil change, then over to the car wash for a scrub before 11:00 am (-ish), when we'll hopefully be on the road. That's what I get for being lazy last night and not doing at least half of that list.

Kathy, if you can't get the oil change, no biggie. We can take my car.

I need to do some laundry tonight and pack, but that's it.

Sail, I'll let you know if I have a seat when I know.

Coolth.

I'll forego the hugs if someone will be my "too much candy" proxy.

Le sigh

No, I can definitely do it (and it's overdue for one, anyway), it's just me whining about having to get up in the morning. Like I said, it's my own damn fault for being so lazy last night, so I have to suck it up tonight. (Don't be surprised if the apartment isn't dusted when you get here, though!)
