Great start to the day!

 

[User 1019]

Wonderful showing up at the airport with a hangover this morning.

This is why you don’t push to production on Friday.

 

[Scout]

Unfortunate name.

I’m the only one in my department not on Eastern time, so this is what it looked like logging in this morning.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

It knocked SportsCenter off the air!

And, by hungover, I mean REALLY hungover

And nothing of value was lost.

SportsCenter opened the 6 p.m. ET show with this. Then, on a day when baseball resumes, cut day at The Open and Tour de France, the lead story is the first day of training camp for Da Bears.

Why I don’t watch.

 

[User 1019]

Today was not a fun day in airports. Crowded as hell, delays at every turn. And I was hungover.

 

[HanSenSE]

Why I don’t watch.

I was in the gym. Captive audience.

Micro Jr. flew from Denver to Jackson Hole last night. Totally lucked out.

DIA is a zoo in normal times. A Friday in summer is insane. A Friday in summer with an IT meltdown -- he won the lottery.

Reassuring and yet not all at the same time.

Yes, flew through there last week, in on July 4 and then back the following Wednesday. Thank God for TSA precheck, and the train from Union Station.
