--- title: Kicked date: '2007-08-12T15:44:30-04:00' permalink: /kicked/ tags: - 'general whining' - travel - work --- A nine-hour time zone change in one direction, followed two days later by a three-hour change back the other direction. One apparently lost, and then merely destroyed suitcase. One two-and-a-half-hour airport delay. Two days, fourteen interviews. Nine more tomorrow. Ass? Kicked, thanks.
