Backlogged in O’Hare
Chicago was a great time, and I haven’t posted anything from it yet because I was too busy having a great time. More later when there’s more later.
Currently sitting in E9 at ORD, waiting on a plane that was apparently late out of Boston and has managed to touch down as of a minute or so ago, four minutes before it’s supposed to be taking off again. Chicago has been the only case of late flights so far this trip, and it’s been coming AND going. Odd luck.
I’m at E9, but I’m flying out of E8. But there’s not a goddam outlet in E8, and I think I found the only one in E9, and only one of the two plugs actually works. And so some other guy looking to power his laptop (and who gamely tried the dead outlet that I warned him was dead) has now just had some sort of argument with presumably his girlfriend over the subject of him wandering further from E8 in order to find power.
Should I have broken out the powerstrip from my bag and made of myself an epicenter of pluggery? Balancing the desire to be helpful with the desire not to be at the center of other people’s drama. Erring on the side of self-preservation. What would Merlyn think?
I have just discovered that I can produce a little checkbox on the side of the tumblr dashboard, labeled “Let people answer this”, by throwing in as the final character in the text box here a question mark. Is that how you produce a comment box for entries? Is it that simple? Is this some questionable fucking UI design?
And how are you all doing, anyway?
