They got on the first plane and it came back for mechanical. The second plane had the fire.
I am suddenly not quite so sanguine about getting on a US Air flight. But my other option is staying in Charlotte.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh dear Dana, what a mess!
I need a way to ease into my day. I'm thinking... Japanese market to buy barley tea for DH. He's been downing a pitcher a day.

There' some kind of clusterfuck going on at a gate next to mine, so I hope it's not contagious. Sounds like their plane caught a little bit on fire?!?
Holy crap. Between that, the crazy weather delays from last night, delays, and a friend who posted that he had to wait for the cops before he could get off his flight because they were leading some woman off the plane, it sounds like a sketchy day for travel. ...I leave for the airport in two hours.

I'm glad I don't fly again for a few weeks.
I banged out the work that HAD to be done this morning and now I'm dilly dallying. I should hop in the car and go to the office but I'd get there at lunch and I don't want to keep the IT guy from his lunch...I'm just being thoughtful, right?

Our wings are not tired.
Pity me. I am on phone with conference Healthcare Marketplace and insurance company, again. For the countless time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone is trying so hard to throw me under a bus! I mean, I guess that's what she's doing? But it's really not working. I keep asking her a question and she keeps talking to higher-ups about it... who come to me, and I explain why I'm asking, and they generally agree that we can and should answer it. And yet? STILL NO ANSWER.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Goddamnit. Gut churning right now. Waylaid outside the food court at work (at *this* hospital, that serves the most hopeless and lost bottom tenth of the population, the parents with the most wanted and most catastrophically sick fetuses and the sickest liveborn kids who had the shit luck to be born into the most toxic possible families, staffed by people who work until their eyeballs bleed to try to make miracles happen when they just fucking can't) by a dewy-faced, young and fractally clueless anti-choice pamphleteer and slightly lost my shit at her. I can't stop shaking.

Ugh, that sounds terrible. Good for you, though, JZ.

Ugh, I know that shaking feeling.

I don't think I did a damn bit of good, and now I'm just ramped up and rageful. And I think of all the stories I've heard here, the stuff that's going on two flights up from me *right now*, and it sickens me. Why the fuck here, of all places?
