Arrgh

You can't save the world if you fall asleep and miss your flight.

Am on the phone right now, paying the $150 reassignment fee plus the additional charge for the altered flight, so I can get to Florida for the Sudan Studies conference. This is the most expensive domestic flight I've ever taken, literally.

I'm not sure where I made the mistake. Did I wake up, turn of my alarm clock, and go back to sleep? Was I conscious when this happened? Did I neglect to set my alarm? Was my alarm not enough to wake me up? I was working on my presentation last night. I was exhausted, trying to read through that 96-page report from U. Khartoum. I haven't been able to sleep for the past, I don't know, week or so. So maybe ... who knows. Who cares. It's only $218. I don't need money. Really.

... I didn't believe that last time, either ...

... I'm going back to bed.
