At airport, impossibly early, waiting for flight to Austin. Impossibly early because I come from the Miami International Airport school of get to the airport early because the traffic is going to be a pain.

It wasn't that bad, actually, but I suspect if I'd left home a half hour later, I might still be on I-5, so. At least I'm comfortably early, I have a Dark Cherry Mocha and I'm using free wi-fi.

Life could be worse.

C is for COOKIE!

I wonder how Fenway compares, but not really interested enough to look it up. I think parking is likely even more expensive, but they're both parks that are situated right within their respective cities.

Is it being unreasonable to ask the offshore guys to save files in a format I can read? I don't care that they don't have Office 2002. I can't read .xlsx. Someone can manually convert for me every time, or they can downvert. Whichever. It's not like anyone's handing me Office upgrades on a platter.

Can you install the compatibility pack?

AND THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

I need to leave for the airport in 45 minutes, and I still need to shower and do stuff, and yet I am sitting on the sofa, watching Top Chef Masters, waiting for my nails to dry

ita, we have the same issue in our office and were JUST talking about it. We, IT, have Office2007 and most everyone else is on 2002, so we are constantly sending them stuff they can;t open. Ooops.

Can you install the compatibility pack?

I don't have admin rights. I can't get an admin to log into my machine until this afternoon, but they've known I can't open files in this format for weeks, and yet? Still saving 'em.

So the guy who caused the ruckus yesterday on that plane from D.C. to Denver? STUPIDEST GUY EVER.

Apparently the man had been smoking in the bathroom when he was asked about the smokey smell. He jokingly replied that he was lighting his shoes on fire. This was not a good idea.
