So while I sit here, waiting for my plane to leave the ground, which will hopefully be sometime in the next millennium, I have plenty of time to ponder the meaning of life. Or at least the meaning of flying. Did you know they actually have to sleep? That there is a regulation set that after a certain amount of time in the air they have a certain amount of time they have to spend in bed? Crazy really. If the military were the ones flying, my plane would be in the air. But they're not. And I am stuck here.
Am I bitter? Not at all. Just a bit frustrated. Keep in mind this my friends: if you use "Flight status notification" through American Airlines, it is a bunch of bull. They will call you all right. But if you don't answer your phone for whatever reason (like taking a shower), they won't leave a message or call back. And don't worry; this redhead let them know about the dissatisfaction I experienced with this great process. The great benefits of online feedback.
On that note, I am going to try to find more things to amuse myself with. Good thing I have nice cousins and they came and picked me back up so I don't have to sit in the airport. Very nice people.
That’s all for now. There may be another rant later if they are stupid and delay again. Keep the poor people I may encounter today in your thoughts. I'll try not to abuse them too much with my frustrated language.
