prepare the cabin for, like, landing

the flight crew on my early-as-hell flight out of mpls this morning helpfully informed me that the flight deck was manned by pilots derek and josh.

this was not reassuring.

i flew from MSP to charlotte, north carolina, where i felt like doing this after two hours of layover between flights ... charlotte's a nice airport, and the people are friendly -- one woman handed me a pack of cigarettes when i stepped off the plane, even.

lots of smoking down here, i noticed, especially after i took the little puddle-jumper to greenville, where my new job is headquartered. people were smoking in their cars. people were smoking on the sidewalk. expecting mothers were doing smokeless tobacco -- health reasons, you understand.

and after a day that started at 4:30 a.m. and had me starting a server upgrade at 7:30 p.m., it's now just turning 9 and i'm about to turn in. i am praying that the server patch i just applied actually stuck, and that the jet-engine whine of the Xserve G5 behind me is just an illusion.

pray for mojo.
