#traveltip :
Always check available seats for your flight a few hours before departure time. Better seats often become available 4-5 hours before takeoff. ✈️

There are days when my #intj obsessive preplanning makes me look like a neurotic mess.

But today it made me look like I can see the goddamned future 😂🔮

Half the band is trapped in airports tonight. I’ve been in Knoxville since yesterday.

Preplanning, kids! Sometimes things go just as badly as you thought they would.

Today at the airport, my flights got delayed and I was almost rebooked for tomorrow. Lucky me there was an awesome agent at the #delta gate who got me on a standby leaving earlier.

But *even if I had missed my connection* it would have been ok, solely because I booked a flight earlier than the one my employer scheduled for me.

The moral: “This is free” or “This is cheaper” does not mean “This is better”.

Flying back to rejoin Tootsie today (a day early).
People raised their eyebrows at me for planning to do this at the start of our layoff.

We got an email yesterday telling us that Tuesday will be an all-day rehearsal before the 2.5-hour evening show.

I’ve been doing this long enough to know: 24 hours to unpack, get groceries, and settle in is far preferable to arriving at 11pm the night before an all-day rehearsal and show 🤷🏻‍♀️ #toldyouso #preplanning #criticalthinking #tourlife

Today, #SelfCare looks like taking time out for a #SpecsGrading #Preplanning chat online with colleagues, stopping work this afternoon to watch the last #J6Committee meeting, and taking another hour-long break at teatime--never mind that syllabi were due today at 5. I got that sucker in at 6:30 and it will have to do.
