Nilly, much peace, love and strength to you and your families. My condolences on the loss of your father-in-law, and much ~ma to your dad.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And I'm going for the trifecta as I catch up:
msbelle, you most emphatically do not suck. I'm sorry about the job situation, and I hope you find a position that treats you better soon.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
msbelle, you do NOT suck.
Cass's right, you know. You are fabulous. And I'm still extremely mad at your ASSHAT bosses.
And OK, I'm in awe of Maria's airport fu! I, um, can pick someone up from LAX like whoa, but other than that every airport feels like new every time I go there.

Nilly, many good thoughts.
On touch, so brief with words.
Ensconced on brother's couch. Youngest is sleeping (maybe) downstairs on the uncomfy fold out.
MeetIng up with lisah was awesome ! Highly recommend .
Parents ( and kids) were so happy to see me. Mom kept hugging me. That might've been the beer.
I was SO on a plane to Bama. "roll tide" was shouted out by the Attendants when we landed. And echoed by the passengers. Won't even talk about the loud native talkers...

I know my way around ORD, DTW, ATL, RIC, SFO, and PHX pretty well. Saying I know my way around tiny airports like AZO and BUR kind of feels like cheating.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm fluent in PDX and SAN. I can fake SFO pretty well. PHX was easy but frustrating last time I was there. I think I know it but I still resent it.
Oddly, last time I landed at PDX we were farther down in the terminal than I actually realized the terminal went. I blame flying with a migraine but my seatmates were talking to me as we walked to baggage and I sort of thought we might never get there or see anything familiar. Then it all went fuzzy, resolved and I suddenly knew exactly where we were. Seriously, there were banks of chairs that I'd never seen. And then the heavens parted and I saw the signs for Good Dog, Bad Dog and Powells. I was home.

Oh, the situation absolutely sucks.
So long as you are very clear that you, msbelle, do NOT suck.

I know my way around ORD, DTW, ATL, RIC, SFO, and PHX pretty well.
In addition to DTW, and DCA, BWI and IAD, I'm fluent in ORD, ATL, JFK, EWR, MSP, MEM, LAS, CDG, FCO, MXP and SUF (though SUF is little more than two runways and enough tarmac to park 2 planes). I can passably get around in PHX, DEN, CLT, MCO, SFO, SJC, SLC, SAT, AUS, and LAX.
I don't think I suck, I think it sucks.
Just keep reminding yourself of this. In fact, I need to remind myself of this.
Sleep is for the weak. Or those unafflicted with insomnia.

Sleep is the nectar of the gods. The bastards just hate sharing.
