Oh yeah, my personal fare cap is MUCH MUCH lower than the company fare cap.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
$100, a reasonable story, and an interview with Homeland Security. At major airports it also gets you TSA pre-check security line.
I also need to get the Nexus card, but I have to replace my Canadian citizenship card before I get that. The last time I went to Ottawa the customs lady didn't give it back and I didn't realize until I was at the hotel.

Oh my jesus yes. I spent like an hour on the phone with United last week trying to figure out the best way to make a change to my Atlanta flight since I have to squeeze in a quick trip to Philly that same day before I realized nobody but me gives a rat's ass about the change fee.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good to know. I might spring for it. I travel just enough to make it worthwhile.

There are bugs in the house, of the flying variety. I know because the cats are as high as they can get (their opinion on what that is changes) and staring at the ceiling.
Need to buy more pipe insulation tubes to seal up the ACs. I was definitely missing some when I put them in...

Anyone wanna get together in London June 14?
Don't tempt me like that.
Seriously.
Though I do get to see Cass soon

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Go Taylor! That's great news, sarameg.

You coming down south soon? I have a vague memory.

I need to go to bed, like an hour ago, but I have to admit I'm kinda wrecked right now and can't wind down. Partly late night and not eating dinner until 10, partly dealing with graduated seniors' exhuberence (fuck you spellcheck, I can't tonight,) part the LAST MONTH.
Oh well, I'm solo for market in the am, so it will be short and sweet, I can get my errand and cleaning done (extra special for the appraiser, wash off the porch floor) and OH BY THE WAY, Sunday is a going away party so I have to swim early and drive for an hour.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yay, Taylor! I've never met her but I'm so very proud of her.
Yes, I get a Lee soon. We're about as organized as "hey, a plane is dropping you off, we'll start from there." So far.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, that is amazing about Taylor. I'm so happy for her. You are clearly beside yourself, as you should be, because you've got it all going on for her between cheerleader and mentor and shoulder.
One of the guys at work wants me to talk to his tween daughter. She's got the chance to do a great-sounding long course in web-related development (it's long enough that the syllabus will probably change with the times). He figures a black woman in IT is what she needs to see right now, and it doesn't hurt that I have a cheap haircut.
Um, flattering? But meeting people's kids, even for good involves that whole line-y thing and some crossing and stuff.
Just finished my first week's homework for the coursera art class. There are two tracks--normal which means you pass the quizzes, and "with distinction" that means you did 2 out of the 6 art assignments on top of it. I don't think they should call it " with distinction". It should be "with pictures." Otherwise--value judgement (there's an art joke in there I'm too tired to make).
I don't know if a remote course with no one on one interaction is enough to help me over my big hurdles. But at least I'll get better vocab.
