Morning Fun

[andrewducker]

Goodbye Buffy party last night (5 of us and a variety of wine and spirits). I abandoned people at 10:30 and crashed out. Erin promised me she'd pack before going to bed, and that as her plane wasn't until 10:45 she could leave home at 8:30, check in at 9:30 and all would be well.

This morning there was mad screaming and panicking from Erin as she dashed around the place with not enough time to get things sorted so that she could leave at 8:00 for her 10:15 flight.

And then she took time out to shave her legs.

So, we finally made it into a taxi at 8:40, drove all the way to Sainsburies (about 10 minutes of bad traffic) and she realised she didn't have her bank card. So we turned around and sped back to the house, she dashed in, got the card and came back with socks as well (which she'd apparently forgotten).

She dropped me off in central Edinburgh, not far from work and took a taxi all the way there (no time for the cheaper bus option).

I got a call at 9:35 saying "They had to reopen the check-in for me. The plane takes off at 10:05. And my baggage was 8 kilos overweight, but they didn't charge me."

And that's why I'm glad to be safely at my desk, checking COBOL code. It's nice and safe and delightfully dull...

Glad I'm (usually)

a) stupidly organised about any travel especially planes
b) quite happy to be hairy under such circumstances
c) doing some delightfully dull coding myself

Well yes, Erin could happily have shaved her legs in _London_, but she was in a state of panic, which universally leads to her doing the first important thing that occurs to her, rather than making a list of all the things she needs to do and putting them in order.

I've told her she's no longer allowed to complain about my organisation, as I'm generally fine with travelling (barring two incidents where I got my travel time wrong by 12 hours).
