there were 5 other people who were missing bags from the same flight but they all got at least one bag back and they checked in dallas, not LA like us.

tombot: how long did it take to get your bags back?

haha I hate being the one to follow great bummerz with lesser bummerz, but it has to be done, right:

330. grocery store apparently doesn't sell plain-old Halls cough drops, the closest thing they have is an assortment of Halls Vitamin C Enriched UV-Radiation Blocking Orange Cherry Lotus Cream Flavored Vaguely Medicated-ish Throat Candies

332. It's the FRIDAY before NEW YEAR'S DAY - why are you people still doing your jobs?!?!??

sunny, it took about a week to get the last one back. We waited around the airport for several flights after ours to get in and did get one of the bags (which I claimed was lost anyway, fuck them). Apparently they "forgot" to load the entirety of the checked bagged on our flight--only 3-5 bags came out on the carousel!! For the entire plane, I mean. And then just stuck the bags on ensuing flights. It was completely bizarre and awful, and their customer service was extremely...nonchalant about the whole thing. Our fault for flying an airline like Southwest.

oh man we got a firmwide email telling us federal offices are closed tuesday but we are OPEN (in all caps). sucky cause i started reading and got my hopes up and then was crushed. 4.5 day weekend woulda rocked.

MY OFFICE SUCKS BECAUSE I'M STILL HERE

tho I guess I could leave, even if my abscence would be semi-conspicuous - I had some mouthbreathing jagbag come to my desk asking questions. Like, dude, it's Friday, it's 3 PM, and it's a holiday weekend - save it for the new year AND IT'S "THEIR," YOU TARD.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Also - my two direct superiors are still here, so I REALLY can't leave yet.

― David RER (Frank Fiore), Friday, 29 December 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't been at work in over a week, and don't go back until tuesday.

Daver, stop living my life, it's bad enough that I already am.

336. flights to chicago actually cheaper than trains to philadelphia. this is mostly a bummer because i can't believe what overcharging assholes amtrak are.

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Believe it, they totally are. Actually train to Philly might be cheaper if you can take local rail and transfer to SEPTA...? It's like a quarter (or less?) of the cost of Amtrak, from NYC.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 29 December 2006 22:53 (seventeen years ago) link

weirdly there's no local rail north out of baltimore. you can get to d.c. for seven bucks but if you want to get to wilmington, yr payin $45. (though if someone wants to tell me otherwise, i'd be happy to hear it.)

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Friday, 29 December 2006 23:01 (seventeen years ago) link

(and last time i tried to take the bus i spent so much on cabs to and from the bus station -- way to put it in an abandoned industrial park area, dudes -- that it rendered the price difference almost negligible.)

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Friday, 29 December 2006 23:02 (seventeen years ago) link

337. flight got cancelled, after sitting (in first class) for an hour. maybe might make it to dallas tonight, what happens when i get there, i dunno, next flight to nyc is in the am.

the northeast is amtrak's only profitable corridor.

339. coworker getting completely shitfaced at lunch (read: she could not form complete words, let alone sentences) and trying to make out with me. most awkward shit ever -- can't wait to go back to work next week!

― false cat (sleep), Friday, 29 December 2006 23:52 (seventeen years ago) link

340. rebooked flight got cancelled.

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Saturday, 30 December 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

(admittedly it's not exactly on the level of waking up to 'hey, you have cancer' or 'your mom is dead' or 'you have to move out of your house, divvy up yr possessions and pets, and travel 2900 miles across the country' but goddamn i hate this shit.)
