I kissed her goodbye, said 'All beauty must die'....

I listened to one of the mix discs I made for l2g which turned out cooler than I remembered it. Which was nice because it distracted me from how I felt like work had fucked me over again by changing my schedule for the out-of-town classes. However, I called Debbie and she took it very well. Like she always does. However, they changed me back from SLC to Los Angeles, so that much at least is nice.
And then I discovered that, when I'd added the oil on Saturday (I remembered to do so before it went dry, yay me.) I'd failed to screw the oil cap down tightly and so when I got home from work today there was a funny brown streak up the bonnet of the car and on the windshield. This was the outward sign of smoking oil all over the innards of the poor car. Augh. Augh.
Um. I guess that's all. I have to get the oil cap replaced and wash out the car.

I hope the engine didn't seize up or fry because of that.

In fact, there was still enough oil in the oil-holding-thingie that the dipstick hadn't quite re-reached the 'add some' indicating line.


Does this mean you're going to be in LA after all? You're making me confused. :-(

Probably no less confused than I am. Just on time delay.
Yesterday they said Salt Lake City. Today I got tickets (actual hard evidence!) from SFO to LAX. Admittedly, it's a big fat pain in the ass to get to SFO from where I live so I'm going to try and fly standby out of SJC because I'm a moron and feel like testing my luck. However. Either way I'll end up in Los Angeles somewhere.

uh, they told you SLC and gave you tickets for LA? Did they ever /say/ LA? Do these people talk to anyone, ever?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Nobody's said LA. However, actions speak louder than words. I expect to have hotel information in my work box today when I arrive. If it also says LA then I'll feel even more confident.
These people talk to anyone all the time. However, I think the big problem is that airline business is.... very fluid. Things change constantly--flights cancel or delay, passengers change their itinerary, weather re-routes planes, and until the last minute nobody's really sure of anything and everybody (except me, it seems) is prepared to switch plans at the drop of a hat.

Let's simplify:

If you get here....call me. Do you know the number?

If you end up in SLC....do not call me. I won't be there.

Here's hoping you don't end up in Orange County or Ontario or Palmdale, that would royally suck. Long Beach or Burbank would still suck, but not as badly.

If the changing of plans is confusing and frustrating, I can wait until I'm actually there.
And here's hoping I don't end up somewhere that sucks. And that our schedules co-incide enough that I get to hang out with you.
