If my flight is much before 8 (meaning be at airport by 6), and it's a longer than 5 hour airtime, I am much more likely to just stay up all night the night before.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Although I think Flea needs to get to the airport by 5:30 or something when she stays with me, so I am willing to do early on someone else's behalf, but not my own!
Once again proving her airport delivery/retrieval goddess-ness.

Ugh, got waked up in the wee hours this morning by a mouse scampering across me while I slept.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, pragmatism kicked in and I went with the non-stop flight. So I'm in NYC from May 25-30th.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am leaving an hour early today for an "appointment." Of course, I did not tell my boss that my appointment was for a massage, but there you go. Even with that enticement, the day is still going waaaaaay too slowly. Especially since I now have to call the IRS about an employee's tax matter, and I foresee a dull, complicated and very long call.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am waiting for a fax to be received in New York (from Iowa), so they can scan it and email it to me here in MA, so I can submit it electronically to the federal government. Good times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't believe the 10 o'clock I busted my ass (okay, just stressed out about--I didn't break extra speed limits or anything) for didn't happen because New Guy didn't show and didn't tell anyone (including me) that he wouldn't make it. I officially spend way too much time worrying about what meetings I make and which ones I don't.

New Guy never fails to... what's the opposite of impress?

Jesse, I think the word you're looking for is FAIL.
