Apparently due to the government sequel I will likely have to take a week of furlough this year. No pay for the week. But ...

no work for a week. That's a helluva fair trade right there, I'll take it!! I'd take a month of they let me. I hate work.

I'm flying out at 6 am tomorrow so I'm really trying not to get there any earlier than I already have to. Also, does it count as an intl. flight if you change planes domestically first? So freakin' early.
There's allegedly a systematic reporting process because TSA wait times are contantly monitored, but I am not sure how accurate that site is. If your bags are going through internationally, you're international at your first check in.

Benefit of the 6am flight though is that you should beat most people to the airport and not have to worry about craaazy lines. I'd be there by 4:45.

There are days when I don't get to shower and dress until lunchtime. No one told me working from home was this hard.

I wish I worked at Yahoo.

The electronic latch on my trunk stopped working. I have to use the key now. The key hole is located under the car so I have to crawl on my hands and knees and look up under the car to find it. That had to look ridiculous at the store this morning.

I can't sync the remotes between my new smart tv, soundbar and cable box. What a hassle.

Even when the tap water should be cold - because the pipes are in the cold ground during the winter - the pipes in the office building are warm - because the building is heated - so the end result is 75 degree tap water and ice is still required during the winter. Boo shee.
