it’s weird. i never get very excited about big trips until i’m in the airport, or on the plane. this one is no different. yesterday becca and i were talking about buying plane tickets to greece (karen will meet us in athens), and debating how much the price could rise or fall within the next few days. the lufthansa website was having technical difficulties. i was wavering. becca was annoyed with me, i think.
i left work, and as i got into the elevator, i noticed a discarded fortune cookie fortune on the floor. as the elevator lowered me to the first floor, i read the fortune: “an exciting vacation awaits you.”
no lie. seriously people. if that’s not a sign, i don’t know what is.
becca called 10 minutes later telling me lufthansa was on the other line prepared to sell us the tickets for the cheapest price we’ve seen in months. so i told her to buy one for me. we are going to greece. and though i’m still not hugely excited, i know i will be once we hit the airport.
hurrah!
my leadership class is annoying me. i don’t like people who won’t let go of the nitty-gritty in favor of the bigger picture, especially when all we’re talking about is a very general negotiation exercise. the motivation behind brazil’s congress is not my concern. i just want to get to the point of the exercise. stupid people.
