Happy 4th of July!
On a separate note, I'm flying to Toronto again tomorrow... just got back from there last week but that's not the part I'm rattled by. Air travel is basically destroyed. I had 5+ hours in delays total for my 4 day round trip last week, security lines wrap around the airports in both cities. Baggage claim at Pearson in Toronto looked like the apocalypse, just thousands of bags all over the place unclaimed, and another thousand people looking for their luggage. I have to go again tomorrow for an unrelated project and already have anxiety, they cancelled today's flight at the same time so who knows how tomorrow will go. And now on a 5 hour flight they only offer you a small glass of soda or water once, and no more snacks. Not to mention the cost of flying domestically has almost doubled this year. It's all just insane.
If it is possible to get negative sleep, that's how much sleep I got last night. So I apologize in advance if I snap and appear to be in a bad mood. I'm fucking exhausted.
Yeah, not much sleep here either. Got to apartment around 21:00 last night. In bed by about 23:30. Didnt really fall asleep and got called out at 01:30 this am. Its non now, and just got back to apartment.
Woke up at around 4AM, I'm fighting to stay awake so I don't wake up even earlier tomorrow. After a downpour this morning then being out in 90 degrees with air as thick as soup all day, I'm fighting a losing battle.
do they have something like tsa pre-check in canada? i was just in boston and back and feel like we got really lucky with no delays on either end of our trip. regular security line was nuts, but i paid for global entry renewal again this year (best $100 i have ever spent) and it comes with pre-check.
Rogers has been down in Canada all day, they're one of the two major (and in most cases in large parts of the country, the only two available) telecoms providers in the country. Half the country without cell, internet or cable all day. It's impacted POS at most vendors, 911 services, all kinds of shit. Pretty wild. Wasn't able to do much at work today since so many of our services rely on Rogers. I'm guessing some sort of major cyber attack since nobody has come out at Rogers and said the cause even after 14+ hours.
Wow, that's crazy. Can't imagine what the total financial losses will be for that.
