thirteen

see twelve.

flew into atlanta this evening. given the opportunity, i prefer to arrive to my destination the night before, as it allows one time to settle in before getting to work in the new location. even though many claim to understand, they usually are a bit miffed when you call to tell them your morning flight's been delayed and you won't be on-site for a few more hours, making you late for the introductory meeting they scheduled 15 people to attend. that really sets the mood before you even arrive.

i also enjoy arriving the night before because sunday, especially in the summer, is a much more enjoyable flying experience. sure, there's loads of families, typically a wailing child here and there, and plenty of lamentation over the recent departure from whatever beach destination. however, it's much more enjoyable to be a part of this group than the cutthroat chaotic mess that is the monday morning commute.

should be here all week - not sure what sort of time there'll be for fun, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
