The End Of An Era.
Tis a sad day.
My McQueen Hero Upright carry-on (you, know... The Ribcage) broke on route to the airport.
I had to toss it.
To be fair, it has been broken for a while. The stick handle that pops out wasn't working properly about 5 trips in to getting it. And today, while rolling it into Pearson airport, the handle snapped off.
(Sound of hearts breaking.)
I kept it with me going through security. I had a brief hope that it would be fixable upon further examination.
It was not.
Handle snapped off. Even super-strength carpenter's glue would fix it and make it pretty.
I tossed it at one of the restaurants here in the airport, after going to the Roots store and buying a $40 bag to get by with for now.
So another thing to add to my lengthy to-do list: But a new stylish carry-on.
Such is the life of the executive... Always rushing somewhere, trying to do it stylishly. You're bound to have a fail at some point.

My thoughts are on this. Despite being incredibly busy... Hiring people, adding to the Canadian economy by developing a product line that didn't really exist here... And having to go out there and sell new business by traveling ON MY WEEKEND to Montreal to speak at a conference (which I am honoured to do), I do manage to find time to keep up with current events.
I am a super woman. And on top of a lot of shit.
