I’ve never put a company on blast, but well over 3 hours across 2.5 weeks and 4 different attempts at resolution from @MarriottBonvoy have gotten me nowhere. TLDR: this was the “clean room” I reserved, checked into, & couldn’t use at the Courtyard Indianapolis Downtown. /1

You’ll notice the timestamp: 1:30am. I got into Indianapolis late, having already missed a lot of my law professor conference due to weather-related travel snafus. I’d reserved my hotel room months in advance and checked in online, where I’d been assigned a room number. /2

I’ve been trying to buy a @FlyFrontier airline ticket for hours today, but between the hidden fees and 3 different parts of the website malfunctioning—to the point where I can’t even log in right now and the reset passwords they’re sending me aren’t working—I’m about to give up.

Will happily accept any invites to the blue place. Sigh.

Good news: two other kids decided to have a literal screaming contest.
There are many situations in which time passes painfully slowly, but one of them is definitely when you’re supervising/entertaining your not-yet-able-to-swim-but-pool-loving kiddo in the pool. (Esp when you see adults sitting in the shade, reading a book, and sipping a beer. )

Still thinking about my doctor’s meaningful look and long pause after saying, “so, you’re going to be 40 in a few weeks. . .” at my (overdue) physical on Wednesday.

Parents of little ones in big daycare centers: how often is your kiddo sick these days? My 4yo moved to a big daycare from a smaller, in-home situation in January. All of January was basically a wash, and I feel like it’s been 1-2 illnesses a month since then.

I’m so impatient to just be better at dancing already, and I think I’ve identified the problem: this is the part of the narrative where I’m supposed to get the training montage.

(The actual problem, obviously, is that I am an impatient, self-critical perfectionist. I see the flaws in what I’m doing and compare myself to the amazing dancers at the studio. Which, or course, is another reason why it’s good for me as a person & a teacher to be doing this!)

Y’all might have been watching some dude be arraigned but I brought my buddy to dance class.
I’ve got a double dance lesson this afternoon so I’m in a great mood. But because of scheduling quirks, I have to bring my daughter with me & she’ll have to entertain herself. But after my hundreds of hours of watching/chauffering for gymnastics practices and meets, seems fair.

Still true. Here if anyone wants to chat.
Good luck to all applying to clerkships on The Plan today. And also: if your friends are applying to more or “fancier” judges, or if you don’t get any calls, or if you’re not applying at all, that doesn’t make you any less worthy as a person or promising as a future lawyer. ❤️

My 4yo has a strange habit: he sometimes likes to hold my ear or my nose while falling asleep. This is both as adorable & as annoying as it sounds, especially when he wakes up in the middle of the night, I go to check on him, and he says “Mommy, stay” and then “I need your ear.”
