• They’re restructuring the 19th floor - where my office in Chicago is. Which means that before I leave to catch my flight home, I must pack up this office into 6 boxes (!) between attending 4 different meetings, having lunch with a contact who I hope will be able to find me a new job after Buyer #10 tells me they don’t want me, and making sure I’m in a cab by 3 pm to head out to O’Hare. What fun.

• It’s supposed to frost in Ann Arbor tonight. I planted 80 freakin’ petunias on Mother’s Day. Why don’t I learn that planting before Memorial Day in Zone 5 is just another form of gambling? Mr. Hot says it’s 50 degrees and spitting rain right now.

…Packing and lunch break…..

• Shit! What happened to tape that used to be able to hold up a hem? Corporate procurement cost cutting means that I can no longer repair a hem with the quick placement of a little piece of tape. No….now I have to pack my own double-sided, extra sticky tape for these emergencies.

• So, is it better to leave for the airport @ 3 and hope to get on the puddle jumper that is completely booked already (but hey, someone might not show up and I can go standby) - which means I risk sitting around for nearly 4 hours or just work a bit longer and get in the cab in Chicago rush hour - and likely get carsick - and make it to the airport for the ticketed 7:25 flight?

• 8 boxes…..damn

• But, if I leave @ 3 and get to the airport and can’t get on the puddle jumper, I can have a glass of wine or two. Since I didn’t get my upgrade today. WTF? - I’m a Platinum frequent flyer.

• This is a really lame post …. sorry, but it’s just a random thought kinda day.
