leaving on a jetplane

I spent most of last week on a plane. OK, not quite. But I racked up a hell of a lot of air miles! 2 days in Phoenix yielded 1 brush with fame, 1 brush with near-fame, a lot of customer contacts, and way too much frustration at having had to travel a thousand miles to accomplish what could have been done over the phone. Obviously I can see the value in visiting real-live customers, but the amount of money spent on our combined travel expenses was truly exorbitant.

After that, it was back to work for almost a full day at work before jetting off to Austin to be with the BF during his interview weekend. Somehow I managed to get sicker before getting better, and so a lot of time was spent in bed.

No, not like that.

So we did all the normal Austin stuff, despite the rain, and I now have in my possession 2 CDs of the Gipsy Kings' Greatest Hits! The Kings have already proven their worth by accompanying me on the ride home and while I made dinner tonight. How is it possible that I have lived this long without them?

Sorry about the post. Actual coherent thoughts to follow shortly.
