cyranoSo yesterday I took Mei to the airport which involved getting up even earlier than usual. Today I took Tavella to the airport which involved getting up even earlier than usual. Last night was the closing session of Jeff's 'Ephemera' game, which I was brought back to do some assistant GM/support work for even though my character had been killed in an earlier session. (It didn't stop her from showing up last night though.) It was a stupid idea, even though I assured everyone that I was going to stop by after work and stay a couple of hours. "I've got to leave around six-thirty." And of course we wrapped at around eleven.
Saturday night was a nice quiet ritual (I still feel very awkward about audible recitation in private ritual) and the conquering of the darkness.
Work is work, but an order of magnitude larger with the holiday season. Everybody and their two dogs needs to travel this week, and it's not the usual business people who travel all the time. It's John Q Everyday who will come to the airport tomorrow and need to be at Aunt Lavinia's house in Bakersfield for Christmas Eve Eve dinner and can't understand why a little wind/rain/clouds/fog is making his flight delayed or cancelled, and then discovers that every other flight in the world is already full and we can't get him to Auntie L's until maybe tomorrow.
And boy is he gonna be pissed.
Tersa has decorated the house, and there are lights and evergreens all over now.

Date: 2002-12-24 03:46 am (UTC)My schedule is Sunday through Thursday, 0545 to 1415. (As a special Christmas present, I'll be working 6-6 on Wednesday.) If it weren't for the fact that traffic gets more horrific by the moment at about that time and the longer I stay the more ugly it is, I would have stayed long enough to see you by now.
I am a delicate flower, and highway traffic still makes me wilt. q:
