I made it!

I finally got in to the office now: with 38 minutes left to the business day. Which is why I'm not even bothering to try to get anything substantial done. I'm just doing the little odds and ends like expenses and sifting through the drifts of email that have accumulated since yesterday. Now that I'm actually back in New York the whole adventure doesn't seem too bad, but when I got up this morning and discovered that the new flight was already two hours delayed I was prepared for the worst. Kudos to Christy the the customer service rep at Continental who was extremely nice and helpful and even got me a first class seat. Did you know that they offer Twix and Ruffles potato chips instead of those dinky bags of peanuts and pretzels? I did get some funny looks for breaking out my knitting in the airport but I made friends with this nice lady from Chicago so I have to say that it is an excellent conversation starter. I'm very glad that you can now bring knitting needles on the plane and I now have the toes of two socks started! Flights go very quickly when you are knitting away. Well, maybe the cushy leather seat helped too.
