March 2020.
Using the plan I have in place now, that’s when my student loans will be paid off.
Ugh.

All I Want for Christmas is…
Home.
Well, I’m back.
Here at my 2nd day back in the office, and things are interestingly slow. Several people are out sick, which I’m sure has something to do with it. And, I’ve been sifting through the large amounts of work related emails while I was away. Nothing to stressful… yet. Hopefully things will pick up in the next week or so, for production flow sake.
I’m still under the weather a bit, but, definitely feeling better. I think having the attitude, being sick will not get me down, and going out with friends last night to, yes, another concert, helped. I was definitely tired by the end of the night, but, I had fun, and met some new people. I’m pretty hopeful by the end of the weekend I’ll be pretty cleared up.
There is a chance I’ll be going to one night… but, I’m not sure. I have tickets to see Justice tomorrow night, but I have to give those up as I had to reschedule an appointment with Eric. And then I have an appointment with Chops next week.
I found Build Your Wild Self today, very funny. Below is the image I made.
Belgian Traffic: Update
I am now back in Gent.
I will stay here for the night. The word is, the traffic was backed up for 150km in both directions. That’s about 94 miles.
Unexpected Day Eight
Yup.
I missed my flight. Not intentionally, of course. I gave myself ample time to arrive at the airport and relax. What normally is a 45 minute drive, took 2 hours and 15 minutes. Yes. It took 3 times as long as normal. I figured, yes, it’s a morning commute, so I will simply double the length of time. This would have been fine for any other day.
Today, well, was a different story. There was not one, but two accidents in the ring near the airport. This sometimes wouldn’t be too bad, either. However, both accidents involved freight trucks. One was with 2 trucks, the other was with 5. It caused numerous amounts of people to miss flights. There were as many people at the ticketing counters as the check in counters.
I actually did arrive before my flight, however, they have a policy in place where you must arrive 60 minutes prior your flight leaving. I did not make that time, clearly.
Now I am left with the decision to try and find a place to stay, take a train back to Gent, take a car back to Gent, or stay the airport. Right now, I really don’t care for any of them. I’m tired and hungry, and I haven’t even begun the trip home.
