My mom had a friend who would munch on butter sticks when she was a girl.

I did that once. Got half-way through before I realized it wasn't cream cheese and that's why it tasted so bad.

I also was once munching out of a box of cereal for about five minutes before I realized that the box was filled with ants.

I'm slow like that.

Sugar-frosted ants?

Nut and honey ants?

Aw, poor Jesse. I hate that. My anger-inducing trauma is the incredibly slow baggage claim at BWI.BWI BAGGAGE SUCKS! 45 minutes, at best. I figure 2 hours from when the plane lands to when I get home, a whole 20 minutes away.

I'm really worried that weather is going to seriously fuck up my travel to NM next week. Out, thru ABQ, in thru Houston. Which theoretically should be safe, but.... when the parents flew back after TG, El Paso airport lost power in a snowstorm, and they landed on a generator-powered runway. Which never happens in El Paso.

Nut and honey, I do believe.

I then proceeded to fling the cereal box across the room, and then there was much vacuuming on my part. And then I brushed my teeth.

OMG, Juliebird -- I don't know that I would ever be able to eat again.

Oh god -- that's why I do my damnedest not to check bags. By the time I get off the plane, I've got to GO.

OK, there is pizza. Smells nummy, at least.

I have showered and got mac's clothes for tomorrow out and my outfit out and I think I am headed to bed. YAY for one leg up on tomorrow morning.

I'm all about checking baggage because I've rarely had a direct flight (because all my people? Live in odd places. Or very far) and I hate lugging shit through the airport. I like being a light traveller. Except for the fact that two of my common destinations (BWI and ELP) suck ass at baggage claim, it's not been an issue. Yet.

I swear, I LOVE peewee airports like Killeen's used to be. If baggage claim people were off, you pulled your luggage off the runway carts. I love small airports. Even "small" like Burbank is so much more efficient.

I've been flying since I was a child. It has changed a lot. We just went away for a few days - and getting to our destination, there was a three hour delay. Changed our plans quite a bit. Why was our flight late - a scheduling problem on the part of the airline. not mechanical, not weather, just bad scheduling.

so today:

work bad: There has been this whole thing about having only one reference/children's person in branch I. It is small and slow, so it isn't tragic if there is only one. A little hard, but you can usually get lunch. Well my co-worker C needed time off , or she was going to lose it. But we couldn't leave S alone at the lib. So I switched Wednesday's with C. Today I get there , find out that S is not going to be there , because she had to take days off or lose them. No one bother to mention to me that I was going to be on my own. and my boss ( also S and C's boss) was off today. no sub. no notice. I had to find out by a co-worker. Like I said, not a big deal to work alone, but no notice - annoys me.

Work good: We are doing something called Learning 2.0 - which is an intro to all of the stuff that is in what people are calling Web 2.0. So I am having a guided learning thing at all the stuff I have vague ideas about - so very cool. First step - create a blog. and as I feared, I keep tweaking.

God. I hope the Sarah Connor Chronicles don't suck.

ita, I saw the pilot, and thought it was actually pretty great. But perhaps I was just ready to be pleased.

I need to go wrap things.
