Y9 D190

And this is why I don't like same day flights. What's that? You thought I was at home writing this at 1:23am? Oh no dear reader, I am in a hotel adjacent to DFW. Oh yes, that's right. I spent the night at an airport hotel because I landed 3 minutes before my flight left and there was no way I was making it from terminal B to Terminal A. Not happening any time soon.

It has been a stressful 24 hours let me tell you.

Did I mention the fact my scrotum is on fire and bleeding? Yeah.

Let's start with that. So the right side has decided it doesn't want to heal like the left. Instead my damn mutant healing factor decided to start healing OVER the stitches instead of waiting for them to dissolve like the left side. So now I have a hardened piece of flesh with a stitch embedded under it all red and bloody. Needless to say walking and sitting in clothing has not been fun. I have to get to a doctor today but I won't land until 11:15, get home around 12:10, then have to drive to the urgent care 15 miles away on a saturday in traffic. Rock on.

I did a half day session with my client (while in pain and knowing I was having problems) and wrapped up at 12. Only one problem happened during the class. Our remote server got hit by ransomware and the entire system was encrypted demanding bitcoin payment. I am not joking. Someone did a random attack on an AWS server and tried to hold it hostage. Luckily all I had to do was bring it down and bring up another but that killed 40 minutes of the time I had with the students.

Got outside and guess who wasn't there? That's right. I did have a backup phone number in case of this emergency and look story short, I managed to get a cab and get to the airport by 1:30. I had 2.5 hours to kill. Okay. At 3:40 it became apparent our flight wasn't coming in. Stand in line. Get rerouted. What? There's no other flight home at this time of night? What a shock, put me on the morning flight. Excuse me while my balls bleed all over everything.

So here I am. Angry. Tired. In pain. And I don't get home for another 10 hours. Fuck. My. Life.
