For united, there's like a set of special upgrade points you can use toward upgrades called PlusPoints I have a ton of. For this one, I opted into using those points, but I was still like 10th on the list. I think the flight had a bunch of people missing connections and I just got super lucky.

Hmmm, so apartment rent prices in my area went down. I can get a two bedroom apartment for the same price I’m paying for a single bedroom now. About a 250 square foot increase. Should I grab it? I don’t really need the extra space tho.

Someone asked me how long I’ve been going to cons, went through to sort my badges I kept, oldest one is 2003. I’m pretty sure my first convention was 1999 though.

I’m missing badges during 2000’s cuz ngl, I knew the people running the video game room and they let me in for free. Here’s acen and ax

I want to go home early from work cuz I have nothing to do, but a new guy just started and I don’t want to give him the impression that I’m lazy and you can go home early. So I sit here and suffer 😭

Cool, so work just sent out an email they’re increasing salary globally for all senior employees. On top of that, I’m also a candidate for promotion as well, so good pay bump coming up.

First class upgrade but flight only 1 hour long. They didn’t even offer champagne tho.

Absolute coin flip on whether the hotel lets me check in before I go to the con tomorrow.

Welp, got a crap ton of IKEA furniture arriving next Saturday. I guess I’ll have fun with it and try building it all myself.

Heading to anyc. Honestly not really feeling too excited since work drained the crap out of me this week.
