I'm travelling tonight down to Los Angeles for a very quick turn around trip for some field meetings. I'm looking forward to it overall - I don't get to do this very often. The plan was, I would fly out at 8 pm tonight, have an early start and then fly back tomorrow night getting in at about 9:30. I was perfectly fine with all of that until I got a phone call today.

I'm being picked up for these meetings at 5:15 am. Yep, that's right. So, we are changing plans now. I'm getting my butt to the airport by 5 to try and get on one of the earlier flights. There's a 6 pm and a 7 pm flight. Keep your fingers crossed. It's an 80 minute flight so I'll get my butt directly to the hotel, take a shower and an Ambien and pass out until (oh God) 4:30 am.

Now I'm sure some of you are going, "that's nothing, I get up at that time anyway". Well, I don't. I'm usually up between 7 and 7:30 and I'll actually have to be bright, shining and coherent at 5:15 am.

The good news in that - I'll be done by 3 pm and should be able to get on an earlier flight home too. Yeah to no late night BART!
