United breaks guitars
After an extremely unpleasant experience with United today, my family cheered me up with this video.
My day started at 9AM yesterday (Thursday), when I got up to BART from Berkeley to SFO and catch my nonstop noon flight to Boston. My plane was delayed 1:45 when I arrived at SFO; by the time it arrived at SFO another half-hour had been added. The reason for this delay was ???. We promptly boarded while the crew ran through the safety checks--and discovered that one of our engines was sad. We sat on the runway for a further hour while they fixed our engine. Then we hit the magic number time at which our flight crew turned into pumpkins due to safety regulations and had to go sleep. After a few minutes trying to roust out a replacement crew, during which the plane was fixed, my flight was canceled. The full 150-person flight was punted to a set of one-stop redeyes through various places. I got on a plane for Washington IAD four hours after I was due to arrive in Boston, and got in to Logan twenty hours after I arrived at SFO. Upon landing, I discovered that my luggage was in Chicago. In short, my day began in California at 9AM local Thursday, and will not end until my luggage is delivered an hour from now.
I have spent the last couple of weeks in Berkeley. I have awesome housemates, and a good opinion of the town. Also, shindigs with bay area people <3
Now, home for a friend's wedding, a few weeks of chill time, and a vacation at the Outer Banks. Back to Berkeley in early August. When should I visit Pittsburgh between August 2 and 20?
