I'm the kiss of death
Oct. 26th, 2003 02:26 pmHint #1 that I should have declared today a lost cause: I remembered the time change but still forgot to reset my stereo which serves as an alarm clock.
So I ended up an hour early and decided to be a slug for an hour, since I couldn't nap.
Hint #2: I got to work and the fridge was not making the hummy noise, and my two bottles for making ice water were just water. I reported this to the supervisors, who put up a note reading "Do not put food into the refrigerator as it will spoil." I was briefly dumbfounded.
Hint #3: Due to fires in SoCal, the 9:30 Burbank became the 12:00 Burbank, which then cancelled. Cancellations and delays and general mayhem extended to Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Ontario, other Burbank flights, John Wayne, probably Oxnard, and just about any airport anywhere in the Los Angeles area. From eleven o'clock on I was frantically moving passengers from delayed flight to delayed flight or cancelled flight to delayed flight, all on standby because every single one of them was full and overflowing. Oh yeah, and I had a few flights of my own to actually board and send on their way.
But there was lovely company tonight, and good food, and a margarita all for me. And that made it all worth while.
PS: This alternately amused and disturbed me.
And thanks to a free promo disc I picked up while clubbing, I have a new favorite song at least for a few hours.
If I had the tech savvy, I would put up a link to an mp3 of Sexplosion by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult.

Me personally, I just let God decide. *shrugs*
Men fear too much to make any sane judgments.
