Guess what? Today is the second heaviest travel day in the U.S. - the busiest day is Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I forgot about that. The airports are crazy crowded. And do I have a nice San Francsico to Stockholm flight? Nooooo. That would be too easy. I am going San Francisco to Chicago to Amsterdam to Stockholm. Since I got these tickets at the last minute, all the direct flights were sold out. This is the best the corporate travel desk could do.I hope I can get some sleep on the flights. Need to work as soon as I hit the ground. Fortunately the first day of work is pretty lightweight. My job consists of two things, I fix bugs and I make things work - sometimes by going to a customer's office and figuring out what they are doing wrong. Sometimes, making things work is as simple as showing up - customers get cranky and just need to see the guy from HQ - to yell at him for a while. I take it, and then make them feel better. In the office, we call this the "group hug" visit. That's what I'm doing in Stockholm - visiting a cranky customer to calm them down.

I hope you get to fly business class. Flying that far and that long would totally suck ass in coach!
That's a long way to go for a hug...
Decker, Nope - I need to climb up a few rungs on the corporate ladder before I'm flying comfortable class.
JenBun, Yup - and it's not even the good kind of hug
