Been driving for 3+ hours, many small trips, but next to no waiting between. I stopped at my favorite Dunkin' for a bathroom/jelly donut/social media break.

I'm kind of dreading my Instacart shift this afternoon. I guess I have to give it one more try...

Because it's crazy dark and stressful out, I need to share this video of a dog being awesome: [link]

Jesse, I'm behind on Good Stuff: did this go up already? If not, consider it a submittal.

Ah, that is awesome! I will put it up.

Awesomeness indeed!

Things have gone delightfully pear-shaped at work (for a kind of delight experienced by the villain of the piece) and given I am leaving in 5.5 hrs for 2.5 weeks, there is nothing I can do about it.

Love that klm commercial, but it's not a real thing if I remember correctly.

I've had a sore throat the last couple of days and this morning, my nose and lungs have decided to join the party. I'm still in SLC and fly home late tonight. It is gonna be a looooooooooong day. Plus I'll feel like I'm taking the plague on the plane.

I'm still in SLC

Maybe it's just the crappy Utah winter air. There's a haze over the valleys, and it's not the good stuff.

sarameg, hearing about your meeting, I was reminded of a story I heard years ago - an art director for an ad agency was extremely tough ... he'd pretty much rip people's ideas apart unmercifully. One day, a designer who was going to meet with him, before actually going in tossed in a large raw steak (in the hopes that he'd rip into that instead of himself).

There's something sort of restful in reaching the point where all you can say is, "Yep. It's screwed." No more running or shouting to be done. I hope your 2.5 weeks off are enjoyable.
