Pre-Flight Countdown
Feb. 11th, 2010 11:37 pmToday M. reneged on giving me a lift to the airport Saturday morning, citing hypothetical future road conditions, and two hours later I had alternate plans that did not include a $70 cab fare. I'm doing my best to interpret this in light of the awesome list of people who will come through for me in a crunch rather than dwell on why I was in a crunch.
I think I am more than ready to not be stuck at home: this morning I dreamed that someone had left an overwhelming number of DNA extractions on the lab bench, which had morphed into my freshman chem lab, and snowpocalypse refugees / fanatical co-workers were napping in sleeping bags on the floor. My subconscious obviously has strong feelings about my productivity this week, feelings which I doubt will be improved by my plans to be out two days next week. In penance I will assign myself a Saturday shift next week (and incidentally recapture a vacation day, ha).
Tomorrow I need to pack my laptop and adapter, stick the external drive with the backup image in storage, and retrieve some luna bars from the work stash. After work I need to pack a snack stash for the plane and meet up with my Friday plans / Saturday ride. Other than that, anything I forget can be purchased in San Francisco, and I do not actually need the entire Western canon to entertain myself on the plane.
