cancelled plans

My plans with my aunt were unexpectedly cancelled as she got called into the hospital to help perform an emergency surgery -- she's a nurse. We chatted on the phone, which was nice, but that was it. Haven't eaten anything today in spite of being up since 10, because we were supposed to have brunch.

Now I have until shortly after 5 p.m. to wander Seattle alone. Right now I'm carrying my heavy backpack but I may try to check that with the hotel along with my luggage so that I'm comfortable enough to REALLY wander. No idea where I'd go, but I'm sure there's somewhere worth going. :)

I turned in the article I got assigned at the last minute today. I'm sure there will be edits on it, but I'm pretty happy on it... I have the satisfaction of a job well done. I'd guess on the outside I spent 5 hours on it so far, which puts me at $20/hour -- an acceptable rate to say the least.

Anyway, I'm going to pack this laptop up and go find food. I may be incommunicado online until late tonight if I check the bag.

*hugs to all*

JUST got home. This day has royally sucked from top to bottom. Well. Actually, on the walk home from BART I started listing good things -- like the fact that it wasn't raining while I walked home. But it still sucked, and I hate the world, and several specific things in the world, such as "Laptop Lane," Starbucks, and in general, the entire Seattle Airport. Also weather and stupid airport people who think people would only want to go to AirTrain for rental cars (nevermind that it is also the way to BART).

OK. I'll really stop ranting now.

abberrantvirtue, I have something for you. Two somethings, actually. Well, I've got a lot of something for you, actually, but that's a different kind of something entirely. ;)

Now it is time for me to clean piercings, fall over, and sulk myself to sleep. I'm sure when I wake tomorrow the world will be much brighter, at least metaphorically so.
