Today I was all set to ask Andrew if he could take me to the airport on Sunday and pick me up on July 5th when I realized I didn't remember the exact flight times. I switched over to Mail, searched through my Southwest ticket confirmations, and didn't find the ticket. I searched some more; no ticket. I tried different search terms and found all Southwest tickets I've reserved in at least the past seven years, but nothing for Sunday.
Confused, I called Southwest to see if perhaps they'd mailed the confirmation to the wrong email address. Nope; they didn't have it at all. I was rather busy when I was making the reservation a couple of months ago, so despite checking the flight times twice with Adrienne, I apparently never actually filled out the ticket purchase form at all.
Fortunately, Southwest still had tickets available from San Jose to Burbank on Sunday night and coming back early on July 5th. I'm glad I checked now rather than, say, waiting till Sunday afternoon....
Today, for the first time ever, I opened the blinds in my office. That worked nicely for a few hours until the sun starting coming in directly through the window late in the afternoon and, despite the air conditioning, the room temperature rose rather quickly. Also, the direct sunlight was reflecting off of various things, blinding people who walked by in the hall. Neither of these effects is particularly desirable, so I closed the blinds again.
We'll have to see if I open them for a few hours every day, or if I just give up on them until the first day back after whatever the next thing I work on ships. I'm a programmer, after all...if I'm exposed to sunlight for more than a few hours per year perhaps I'll just shrivel up and turn into a pile of dust.
