My body waited until #AMS2024 was over to give me symptoms. Tested positive this morning. 🫤 My sincere apologies for exposing people. I tested before the meeting and was negative, so I assume I got it this week. Hopefully, I wasn't contagious until now.

Mad respect for all the forecasters who do this everyday. It was hard! To trust or not to trust the model was the Q. It stressed me out. =) I enjoyed drawing my Bob Ross Happy Little Polygon. Unfortunately, it was totally wrong.šŸ˜‚ #FFaIR #jimmyswife

My Bob Ross Happy Little Polygon is the tiny triangle ...with practically no precip. So thankful to #FFaIR for letting me participate and for @jimmyc42's training. I have a greater appreciation for how hard the forecasting process is!

Did @jimmyc42 and I see the aurora on our @SouthwestAir flight? Used a long exposure in the pro setting of my S20 ultra. We think we were around 35,000 ft over Indiana. I mean, it looks aurora like. šŸ™‚

.@hertz says to use website to modify a reservation. I go to the website. Website says I can't modify. I must call. I call. The automation tells me to use the website. Literally me:

.@DENAirport please fix your screens. Big difference between C53 and C29. Have the staff make repeated announcements, not just 5 minutes before boarding. Silver lining: At least I earned some heart points on my walking app.

These are the most valuable moments. So many people, colleagues, and mentors helped me along the way. One of the ways to thank them is by giving back to others. We have such a bright future with these students. ā¤ļø #ams2023

Still no baggage. @SouthwestAir please help my family pick up their bags, or at least start communicating the process of how you will return the baggage.
Replying to @SouthwestAir
@SouthwestAir After waiting 12 hours at the airport on Sunday with two small children just to have our flight to PHX cancelled, going back yesterday to see the 8-hour line to the baggage office, and still no working phone line, how do I get my luggage back???
