I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Levenger is a great idea. I had thought of Timbuk2 as I am a fan girl - he's looking at those now.

Good place to get "a fashionable 'business tote" that can hold papers/pens/folders/phone/calculator junk . and even a laptop" for a 30 year old female?

You can actually usually find a few decent ones at Target, surprisingly. They're fairly businessy, and usually have a padded sleeve or compartment for the laptop.

I am at the airport. I am REALLY wanting to be home. But the trainer forced us to stay until 3:30, so there was no way I could get on the earlier 4pm flight and home by 7:30. Instead, I got to the airport at 4pm. There was a flight at 5:30, but it ended up full. Grrrr. And now I'm waiting for my 6:30 flight...which is late...I swear, if I end up spending the night in Chicago, I may have to hurt someone. I am SO READY to be HOME.

So ready to be home that I double posted, apparently...

meara, if you do get stuck here, let me know! I've got a bed you can use (I usually end up sleeping on the couch anyway), and I'm only a 20-minute drive from O'Hare.

Aww, thanks Kathy! The good thing IS that I know lots of people in Chicago that I'd be happy to have dinner or a drink with....I just realllllly want to be home in my own bed.

Can you get to your e-mail? I can send my phone number to your profile addy if you do end up here overnight.

Yes, thank god, I've got a new cellphone-broadband card for the work computer.

I think right now they're anticipating us getting in twenty minutes before the other flight takes off. Maybe. Right now we dont' have a plane. I'm just saying, they SHOULD"VE put me on the earlier flight...

My phone number's on its way to you now.

Like I said in the e-mail, I hope you do get home tonight, but if not, I'd love to see you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, meara!
