red eye

oh my. the time difference between the west coast and the east coast can be quite a drag. from new york to phoenix - piece of pie! from phoenix to new york, you gain three hours in flight - seriously, so ridiculous! so, i left phoenix at 9:15p on tuesday night. i arrived in new york at 4:30a on wednesday. and, i was scheduled to work at 9a that same morning. (wha, wha, wha...) so, i jumped on the airtrain and was able to get back to my apartment by 6:00a. i dozed for about an hour then got ready for work. i made it! i was a mess, but i made it! i sat at my computer all day looking like hell. red eyes? of course! and naturally, i got the occasional - "geez lauren, you don't look so hot." finally, i may or may not have tripped on the stairs on my way to the 2nd floor for my afternoon research shift. did i mention the time difference totally blows? 6p did not come quick enough. oi.
