Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

This United Customer service line is enormous.

Would calling United Customer Service be quicker? Next time, fly through Denver - if you get stuck here, I could come get you or at least come visit.

I already called to rebook, but they can't get me on a flight until 10pm tomorrow. Now waiting for a hotel voucher.

I don't have many connection options to Kalamazoo.

I don't want to go to bed, because that means I have to go to work tomorrow! I want to stay up late and continue to watch DVDs and putter around my apartment!

not your mom's socks.

I stayed up late after a holiday party working on 2 manuscripts. I don't know weekend or holidays any more.

Quick, someone write me a note to get me out of work today! A family friend passed away last night and I have to spend the morning with people who are making well into the 6 figures fighting over a 1.75% merit pool as if they won't be able to eat next week. The meeting is scheduled for 4 hours, and I don't wanna.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry, Sparky!

Dear Bosses,

Sparky1 will not be at work today, as she has family matters to attend to.

Because books.

Four hours! Good god, Sparky.

Co-signing the note here, too.

Poor shrift.

Our wings are not tired.

Good morning from St. Thomas! I was up at 6:30 local time and went for a swim with the pool all to myself then had breakfast. Did a bunch of work, which was a real PIA because of slow internet, but it is done, and uploaded some pictures and stuff. Slept like a baby in the rolling seas.

The room steward told me it is rolliest up way forward where we are, which works for me! Also I am right where I can watch the Captain and crew on the bridge from my balcony. Captain is a woman, which is kinda cool beans. I watched them working while docking this morning. She was busy, but one of the crew on the bridge waved to me.
