i know, it is just i like have at least 12 oz on the bedside that i down in the a.m.
Hotel cups are a swallow and a refill
Even cruiseship water is potable now a days . Everything but planes
Potable and palatable are two different things.
Obligatory Simpsons video:
My flight got delayed. If it takes off as planned, I should make my connecting flight, assuming the gates don’t change - they’re pretty close to each other right now. My bag probably won’t be so lucky.
I’ve never missed a flight before. My bag has missed a few flights. What do I do if I miss it? Go up to the counter in my layover city and talk to an attendant?

I was talking with someone else who went to your event. They had a delay in a connecting flight, so the same thing may happen to you!
Is there a steak and/or sushi joint at the airport???

My flight went from being 30 minutes delayed, to 60 minutes, to 2.5 hours, to now 3.5 hours. It’s definitely going to get canceled at this rate.
I’ve had a six hour delay that wasn’t cancelled.

Fingers crossed. Any more delays and I won’t be able to get home until 24 hours from now.

fair warning, if not a fair price.
Carton of water, available free to SOA graders during meeting hours. cartons of juice I’m familiar with. cartons of milk sure, maybe not with screw on lids to milk cartons. Water? Not before.
Nerd alert has returned home, hopefully not with shower get, shampoo, conditioner or lotion from her bathroom. hotel would charge $50 for them, and my shower gel had less than one inch in the bottle. (Not a complaint. They’re telling me the bottles will be reused, and no reason to refill the bottle for each guest.)

Yikes!
It’s that time of year where nearly every communication starts with “It’s that time of year…”
speaking of, i fucking hate “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” and that shitty mariah carey song. i seemed to hear those all over the place during my walks around town this weekend. HATE!
IT’S COLD. IT’S FUCKING COLD. IT’S NOT WONDERFUL. IT’S ALSO CROWDED, THAT’S NOT HAPPY. FUCK YOU.
THAT SAID, JANUARY 3 IS THE WORST TIME OF THE YEAR. GLOOM AND DOOM.

Speaking of, I haven’t yet been whamageddoned this year (I also made it through last year) but it helps immensely that I rarely go out in public.
I was in rockefeller center area this weekend. DO YOU KNOW HOW MISERABLE THAT IS IN DECEMBER?? DO YOU KNOW??? THERE WERE SO MANY GODDAMN PEOPLE THAT I COULDN’T WALK. SERIOUSLY COULD NOT WALK. FUCK PEOPLE, FUCK HOLIDAYS, HUMBUG.
specifically in front of saks fifth avenue. the light show means bumper to bumper human traffic. i probably caught covid.
the light show features elton john this year, which catchy, but not worth the crowds and inevitable covid.
i don’t know how any small children haven’t been trampled to death by saks. it’s a hazard with that many people.
Aw, I love both songs. 
And I love most Frank Sinatra Christmas music too, but I heard his Silent Night the other day and yikes, it’s just awful. Terrible. The accompaniment is like one note and he sings, way too fast, a line from the carol, then waits an obscene amount of time and then sings, still way too fast, a second line… it’s just awful.
Both WAY too fast and WAY too slow simultaneously.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ve heard Last Christmas once this year.
