Last mad dash around the office, then I'm scramming at 3pm ish, going home, quick shower, then I'll be off.
I was originally assigned on a seat that's more in front, but given that my friend and I are hoping to sit together, I've gone down a few rows.
The only thing I don't exactly like being in the back or middle is... choice of food. LOL.
Yeah, airplane food is nothing to tell home about, and either choice would not be yummilicious anyway, but I'd like to at least have the choice made available. There were a few times when we were seated in the middle, and, the front part had the food cart coming up to down, and the back part had the food cart coming down to up, so inadvertently those seated in the middle were the last to get served. And there was no more alternates to choose from.
And last night I found out one of the wheels of my luggage is busted. Well, should I say, the plastic part around the wheel (the soft cushion part of the wheel?) had crumbled away. Geez. What luck. I don't have time to replace the wheel nor the bag, so I'll just have to risk it. Worst cast I'll take a cab in London so I minimize wheeling the thing around. But I think it should be fine. It's a 4-wheeled type of luggage, not the 2-wheeled type. So if I wheel it flat upright, it's still got 3 wheels to roll.
A colleague has delightfully suggested I go claim insurance after I fly, but alas, the caveat of travel insurance and luggage is... only the contents of your luggage is insured. Everything outside: the handles, the zips, the wheels, are not insured. At least, according to my past experience.
When I'm back I'll scour youtube and other sources to see how to replace the wheels. Taobao has quite a selection of wheels, so I have to investigate how to measure and choose the wheels.
I'm kind of worried that things will happen while I'm away. It's always alike that. When I'm in the office, nothing comes up and I'm idle most of the time. Then when I'm on holiday, that's when things happen, and I have to do things, remotely or somehow beg someone to do it for me. I'm lugging my laptop with me on this trip, and I've set up and ensured the Remote Desktop thing works for in case something does come up and I need to work on stuff at night, but it's absolutely infuriating if that does happen.
