Mikes horrible notes
I apologize in advance for any whining I am about to do. Normally I keep my LJ whine-free but this siutaion calls for it.
waaaaaahhhhhhh
This week has been just awful. I am going to cry about it some more.
waaaaaaahhhhhh
Ok,so here is the fun summarized for your enjoyment/pity depending on how dead you are inside.
Sunday the plan was to fly to detroit and then from there to Moline Iowa. Well our flight to detroit was delayed 3 hours. Which stunk because that would mean we would miss the flight from detroit to Iowa. However this didnt turn out to matter as that flight was canceled outright. Well there was a flight from detroit to iowa the next day which they booked Pete on... but they forgot me and the flight filled up. So we had to drive. All night from detroit to Iowa (7 hours). Oh and after not sleeping I had boring meetings to sit through.
K, well that trip pretty much wrapped up. So the plan was to fly from moline to chicago to indianapolis for trip 2. Epic fail! that flight was delayed. During the confusion the lady sent me back to the ticket agent. Well I do what they say and I come back and security wont let me back in. "Huh" "We are closed sir". Apparently they have enough guards to keep me out of the aiport but not enough to let me walk through a metal detector. Also he gave me a speech about how the sign I walked by said it closed promptly at 7:30 because Its the LAW! which lead to a less than fufilling watch check that said 7:27. "Oh... well I dont control that". I got snotty at this piont "but... but ITS THE LAW!". I think its great they all went home early. I do. Oh well, pete ended up making it to chicago only to have his flight to indy cancelled and no hotels or cars to rent. He slept poorly in the airport while I was living it up in a dingy holiday inn express in iowa...
So far I am 0 for 4 in flights. I have 1 to go where I come home friday. Thunderstorms are scheduled for flight time. I think i will throw a hissy fit if thats cancelled. Like just sit down wherever I am and start screaming "NO! I wanna go home! Yoou cant make me stay here! TAKE ME HOME NOW!!"
Well thats not all the bad news folks. My laptop crashed. So now I am at a client in indiana without a computer. Its awful. I mean my laptop still works but only like 3 of the apps work including inet explorer and notepad which I am typing this on. There isnt enough time to mail me a new one out here so I must remain laptopless which is only really attractive in girls. Also it is shocking how limiting it is not having one. I cant do ANYthing.
Special thanks to Ball State U (to be hereby referred to as ballbuster U) for giving me a $75 parking ticket for parking in one of thier poorly signed parking lots right next to the resteraunt we were eating in (we thougt it was resteraunt parking). Which leads to an interesting question. How does one expense a parking ticket... Also does anyone know the legality of not paying a college parking ticket. Because I cant imagine ever needing anything from Ball state
So wah... WAH
Once again I apologize for this post. Its just been a frustrating week for me.
But the weekend outlook looks good and I think I am on track for my quarterly bonus at the end of the month (woot!)
