cerealjoe | The ash cloud said that there will be no flying for Gali. (Reply)

Officially my flight to CDG has been cancelled for tomorrow. All flights from Helsinki leaving before 3pm tomorrow are cancelled and perhaps the cancellations will continue afterwards. I suppose it's ok though, my boss booked flights for Monday morning so he'll probably make it to Nantes in the end and he can present my paper.

I could always try to rebook for Monday morning or Tuesday morning, I don't have to present till Tuesday afternoon but I think there will be tons of people queing to get a flight out of Helsinki. It's probably not worth the effort.

But emotionally I'm a bit upset... not because I really wanted to go to Nantes but because it's an unexpected turn of events and I cannot control it. I'm fine with changing my plans at the last minute but this time it's not my choice and I highly dislike that. In my head it was supposed to happen one way and now it's going to happen some other way and it's just not cool.

And so this instability has caused me to crave comfort food... and today's comfort food is porridge.

Stupid volcano. But let's look on the bright side, at least the ash cloud came now and not in two weeks! I'd much rather miss going to Nantes and then to Geneva.
