will be bouncing between fancy hotel room without wireless and corner cafe with wireless in Chicago all night
plugged into a power outlet under a tree outside Chicago's Union Station, canal-side... life is good
in Chicago! Got 11 hours sleep last night on the train-- more than in any TWO consecutive nights since ages ago!
on train to Chicago. No internet. Call me! 508 737 0582
3 hours before get on train to Chicago and still so very far behind on work
bailing out a client from a major problem that's not our fault! Fun!
fielded after-hours pseudo bug report, took mother out to dinner just 'cause I've been taking everyone else out, now more work
is never communicating with anyone ever again
