One of the best - certainly the most surprising - things that ever happened on a flight for me ... ironically, travelling home from Denver.

Friday night flight, it's 3:45 travel time from Denver to Toronto.  4:30 MT departure, so we're supposed to land at 10:30pm ET.  No word of a lie, around 8:45pm ET, I can feel us descending.  WTF... is there some kind of emergency??  Pilot comes on... "You may have noticed we're starting our descent.  We were aided by 175mph tailwind, and will be landing in Toronto a little early."  We landed before 9:30, so over an hour early.   :omg:

The crappy thing was that I'd used an upgrade pass, so didn't get to enjoy it as long as I could have  :rollin.  Oh well, 1 hour less in an airplane seat - even if Business Class - is always a good thing.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

That's awesome.

The airline saved a bunch of money on fuel... SHOULD HAVE DEMANDED A REFUND
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Yea I've had that happen before home from LA, get a good tail wind and you get there super quick.  Although making up an hour on a 4 hour flight is still very impressive.  But seriously, things like that are a godsend when traveling.

Morning, I have one more major issue to fix today before my flight at 530.  I'm honestly not sure I remember how to build a new console server.  It's pretty simple actually, just that everything in our Denver data center has some network fuckery added to it to make it complicated.   Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing my cat and sleeping in my bed tonight.  It's going to be a lonnnngg day, but these days are big $$$ as I'll get about 16 OT hours today.

The OT can be addicting. I used to rack up the OT doing overnight deployments and java releases but as of Monday I don't get anymore OT and I'm moving to salaried, I got a promotion at work which I'm pumped about.

I'm leaving for the weekend and heading to Asheville. We are going to stop by the Biltmore, I can't believe tickets were $90 a person. This place better be amazing.

What's that?  And there's always talk about making me salary.  I don't understand why they haven't, but wouldn't be surprised if it happens next year.  Our new overlords HATE my overtime and bitch non stop about it, but someone's got to do the work and this is the way they chose to compensate me.  I think it has to do with changing my job title but still, it seems they could just do that.  I don't know.

I could be wrong but the biltmore is the largest private estate in the usa, apparently its massive.

Wound up sitting on the side of the freeway for an hour on my way to work. Think the thermostat in my Camry took a shit.

Was finally able to get to work but... had to limp her there.

Add me in with those with nothing to do but relax today, a well needed day of rest.  Yesterday I babysat my nieces for a bit, then cleaned my house before watching football.  Today, no cleaning, no baysitting, just chilling.  Looking forward to the nothing of today starting with enjoying this coffee.
