My flight got cancelled, never been here. I need somewhere to lock up my heavy ass laptop and somewhere I should go. The idea of being here and just sitting in the airport for 12 hours sucks.

Get in touch with me. I am sick and home from work so I can entertain you (once i get a couple more hours of sleep

hmmm...kind offer and all, but 1) your sick 2) my time is limited, and 3) dude, your sick. stay home and rest/relax. I can easily blunder through it.

thanks though, knowing youd do that sick is nice.

In that case, Citty will be up most likely in the next hour. Get in touch with him. Great guy and his job is currently slowed due to legislation

If you want to do the tourist thing, just take a cab to Michigan Avenue and walk around (assuming the weather's decent). I can think of worse ways to kill a day.

Or go to the top Sears Tower just to say you did. (I assume you can still do that - I haven't been post-9/11.)

yeah, most likely will pick some spot and wander from there. need to get motivated and find a locker. problem is, with all the legislative crap there is always plenty to read, so I'm sitting here doing nothing, being unmotivated. It's a common activity for me.

ha-I got off my flight from charelotte, waded through a bizilain people (aperently a storm last night has half the world population hanging out here) and checked the board to see the lovely "cancelled" next to my flight. So, i stood in a line, decided it wasnt moving, went looking for another line, found a shorter one, got tired of waiting there, went looking for a shorter line, didnt find one, went back to the other line, sat my ass on the ground and read a book. Ocationally i would stand up, glare at the person trying to cut, move in front of them and plant my ass on the ground again. batteries dying tbcontinued
