I did eat food! It was a terrible sandwich, but at least I didn't have to pay for it. I got an amenities bag from United last night, so I'm okay for now.
I guess I'll call to see where my luggage is.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

I'm not sure. I've just bought them from half-price books and ripped the CDs.

BTW, I'm making the e-Book version of Cog free from Dec 26th to Dec 30th, so if you know somebody who gets an e-reader for Christmas, it's a free book they can put on it.

40 minute wait to talk to someone about my luggage.

I'd say that's sub-optimal customer service.

Standby flight is delayed. I don't know whether to wait for it, or just get on a train.

I have a good chance of getting on the flight, so I'm risking it. If I make it and my luggage doesn't, then I'll have my sister take me to Walgreens.

oh, jeez, shrift. I think if the trains have a history of being on time, I'd probably go for that. Buy yourself a cozy overpriced scarf at one of the airport shops and take the plunge.
Did United at least put you up last night?
I started making stollen last night, and then realized it had to sit in the fridge for 12 hours. So I called in "delayed for errands" this morning, slept in, and now the stollen is in the oven. It flattened out a bit on the last rise, but I think it'll be okay. God knows there's a ton of stuff in it: raisins, cherries, candied orange peel, candied ginger, lemon & lime zest, and a cup of butter. Messiest dough ever.
Now I have to decide what to do with it when it's done. I may have to go to the chorus holiday party tonight just so I have people to eat it...
When this is out of the oven, it's off to the UPS shop to ship my nephews' Christmas presents. I found them a Calvin & Hobbs collection, and won a Coast Guard rescue boat in the office gift exchange.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Fingers crossed for good flight karma!
