"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Okay, Delta gave everyone on our flight who missed their connection a hotel and food voucher, so I can't complain too much. I would desperately love to go to bed (let me do the math...plus eight hours makes it almost 7AM in Austria, and I got up at 4:30AM yesterday), but the toilet in the bathroom will not stop running, so I called the maintenance guy instead of just shutting the door and ignoring it, which I really wanted to do.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

And now I'm reading Trek porn while waiting for the maintenance guy.

Look, I either post or I fall asleep at the desk.

This guy's got five more minutes before I just shut the bathroom door and put the do not disturb sign out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's a toilet maintenance watch and post!

I'm on the edge of my seat. (So to speak.) Dana's beauty sleep is on the line!

Fuck beauty sleep. I have to be up and out the door in eight hours, and I have ceased being functional.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Is he here?

They say he's on his way right now. This very second.

They've got maybe five minutes before I call the desk again and start weeping.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Poor Dana.

It's like when you're in college and you want to go to sleep so bad and you can't because you must, must must finish that paper.

He's here. Can't fix it. They're going to move me.

I might actually start crying. I bet they'll be surprised.
