quite the worker bee

Charlene @ 7:39 am

Today was a good work day  – and probably the first serious one since I’ve gotten into Texas…

got through all my backlogged Mongolia and US correspondence, wrapped up a few reunion-related things, started my t-mobile plan migration (only 15 min left and still have 2 weeks before next billing cycle), replied to everything re: school and thesis so ball isn’t in my court anymore, dealt with some outstanding IT thingies, sent out a cover letter and CV for a particular job, ran around a bit, helped my aunt with driving, and saved an earthworm this morning from the sun.

transit part 2

Charlene @ 1:23 pm

Lubbock to Dallas:

2 “entertainment” lounges containing the word “willie”: “chili willie’s” and “wet willies.” I’m not sure which is more appealing…

“Midnight Rodeo” club in Lubbock – $1 longnecks(?), college ID before 9pm get in free, all sorts of music, and (really) improved security so you can feel safe there – per the radio spot.

haircut – stern lady saying that if I’m not willing to “work with” my hair daily, she can’t in good faith cut it, as no hair will look right unless I work with it.

Mom ambushing at almost 10pm to say hello/rifle through my stuff/ask leading questions/avoid my aunt who is presumably asleep.

Ah, Dallas…

in transit

Charlene @ 3:47 am

Things seen:

A Hite beer billboard in Arizona
Start of I-40 (sign said Wilmington, NC 2300 (ish) miles)
A marked lack of “Dockside Babes” billboards (perhaps only in the SE?)

my usual confusion with flying and Seoul continues

Charlene @ 7:25 am

So, some may remember the boneheadedness I had last time in Seoul in missing my connecting flight back to UB, and having to live in the airport for an extra two days or so.

This morning I just realized, also in Seoul, that my 11:00 flight is 11:00 AM, not PM. I realized this at 9:00 AM when I woke up. Hopefully I won’t miss it this time.

Off to change money and perhaps shower…

Oh, and by the way, I’m on my way back.
