Professional Catgirl

[rax]

I'm flying MHT->IND today and got here early because, you know, getting to the airport is just what you do. And I got to the lounge area and was like "Oh hey there's like an hour before the flight leaves." What did I do. Did I lounge in one of the chairs and go to sleep? No. Did I pull out the novel I've been reading and say "Yay, I get to get some light reading done?" No. Did I even start working on my thesis, despite being up until 1 AM last night and the last three nights previous working on it? Of course not! I walked over to the little business traveler area, pulled out my laptop, plugged it in, got on the (awesome, free, unencumbered) wireless, and immediately started working. Like, for my job.

I'm wearing my Glitter Jacket and cat hat and one of Blake's awesome towers bug hoodies. (Warning: Picture contains bug.) Periodically someone in nice clothing wanders over with coffee and a blackberry and stares at me and then sits down. Whatever, man. I'm a professional catgirl. Mew mew mew synergy mew!

OK, now back to work.

EDIT: Flight got delayed around three hours, after momentary panic have confirmed a new connecting flight to get to IND this afternoon. Pending response from IU is is likely that I will rent a car and manage to get to the 6:30 event just barely on time. YOUR MERE FLIGHT CANCELLATION CANNOT STOP MEW

DOUBLE EDIT: They're shipping us to Boston for a direct flight and I've got a car lined up. Catgirls On The Move!

TRIPLE EDIT: Now waiting at Logan, which also has free wifi now, unless you'd rather pay for it. (???) It's snowing, and my vegan burrito had accidental chicken in it. There are rumblings about a potential delayed flight due to weather, which... well, I do conveniently live in Boston, but now my car is in New Hampshire. But I'm caught up on work again. Maybe I should take a... catnap?

It's actually more fun to extrapolate, I think.

That's the plan I'm going with!

I bet you they're not staring at you. I bet you they are staring at the GIANT BUG on your shirt. :shudders: :-)

Executive catgirl! Travel the world! Or at least the contiguous United States.
Also, good god. You get to Logan at 8:30 in the bleedin' morning and you start _working_. You are kind of oppressed, and not, in this case, in the fun way. :)

New Hampshire, and 7:30. ^^;; I woke up at 5:45.

Oh rite, MHT. But that doesn't exactly help your case. Your conscientiousness sometimes frightens me. :)
Slightly more seriously, have a good trip, I hope you find Indiana welcoming.

I dunno, she was punting her thesis.

It doesn't matter if it's work for pay, that's still slacking off, this late in the grad school game...

Have I ever told you that you have excellent taste in hoodies? :)

Have a nice trip!

Have fun in 'Nap-town*, and I hope your travel plans continue relatively problem-free. I spent part of last week helping a friend get to and from Logan, my house, and Harvard Med School/MGH for interviews, plus a bunch of flight delays; it was nuts, but eventually all worked out. We ended up in a bar, though, bitching about suit/business-wear and professional culture, and now I'm curious what you're planning to wear to the formal-ish part of your visit.

*I swear, that sounds better when spoken, but good lord, what a bad place-name-abbreviation. But hey, it's not Bloomington-Normal.

Part of my brain is suggesting “Professional Catgirl” as plug-compatible with “Personal Jesus”.
