Sweet Bleeding Jesus!
What a day yesterday was! I snuck out of work early to make a 5:20 flight from DC to Salt Lake City to Anaheim. Everything seems fine.... until I get to the airport. I usually just leave a single hour between arriving and departure because the DC airports' security is very speedy. As soon as I get to the other side of security I get the alert that my flight has been delayed by an hour. Problem is, there was only 45 minutes' connecting time at Salt Lake, so I was about to miss my connection. No problem; I get on the phone with Delta and they reroute me to LA. This would have screwed with my rental car situation, but still, no big deal. I saved a bunch of money on car and hotel by using Priceline anyway, so the additional cost is still within my budget.
New flight gets delayed. I am now about to miss my new connecting flight to LA. My implacable calm starts to crack because the pleasant buzz of the two pints I had consumed is now rapidly wearing off. Lest anyone construe that I need the booze to calm down, please understand that is not the case; I am a roll-with-the-punches kinda girl under any circumstance. Anyway, I have now been at the airport FIVE HOURS....
I approach the gate to chat with the agent, and there were just two things that prevented me from giving his smug ass a verbal ass-kicking.
(more to come... my 6 AM flight is boarding)
