My day:

1.) Wake up at 3:45am PDT. Catch a cab to the Spokane Airport.
2.) Plane takes off at 5:15am PDT, lands in Salt Lake City about 7:45 MDT.
3.) Check voice mail. There's one from the staffing agency. They scheduled an interview for me at noon today. I had specifically listed myself as "unavailable" from Wednesday to Monday, but whatever. I call back and get the interview pushed back to 3:30 CDT.
4.) Next plane takes off at 9:45am MDT, lands in Austin at 1:30pm CDT.
5.) Go home, quick shower, and head to interview. Pretty sure I nailed it.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep. It's a little strange.

Question of the Day:
What's the earliest you've had to get up in recent memory, and why?

QotD: I've had to get up at 6 the last few Saturdays in a row because of my job. It's okie I guess. It's not really the getting up at 6 that I don't like it's the going to bed at 10 so I can sleep enough.

The earliest I *had* to get up was last Wednesday to make my early flight to Spokane.

Did you get my email about the hotel cost? I'm not in a huge hurry but the sooner the better.

I had to get up at 5pm on Saturday in order to make it to a football game by 7:10pm. Some people fell asleep on the train back, they should have not woken up so early in the day.

I had to get up at 5am (after an hour of sleep) to miss my flight back from Spokane, and pay for route-changes to get back that day. Then I had to loose my Blackberry in transit as a reminder of how expensive missing my flight was. Anyway, there's coffee here to drink.

I believe I was in the Rodeway's front office when you were calling about said Blackberry.

At least you got my mini USB cable out of the deal. That's a fair trade, right?

I had to get up at 5:00 a.m. to catch a flight from Hong Kong to Beijing a couple of weeks ago.
Hotel -> taxi -> Downtown -> airport Express -> Airport -> airplane -> Beijing -> bus -> Hainan District -> taxi -> Meeting
