I'll be in an airport Sunday morning, because I'm FLYING HOME! YES!!!!! LA area ILXors be fun and all, but damn I miss Mr. Jaq. Here's the deal though - I work from 6 pm Saturday night to 6 am Sunday morning, rush back to hotel for shower, grab suitcases, checkout, catch flight. 3 hours of airplane sleep. Zombification.

i missed a connecting flight during a layover in new mexico once beacuse i tried to huff it all the way over to a different terminal to make use of the one smoking area in the airport. this was partially due all the free drink tickets non-drinking southwest frequent-flyers had bestowed on me before this trip. i loaded up on free Dewars and NEEDED a smoke. I ended up getting home 4 hours later than I was supposed to because of it.

i'm smoke free now though, and looking forward to HNL to ORD; ORD to EWR; EWR to LAX; LAX to HNL over the course of 12 days next month.

stoked!

[xpost] I've been on the night shift since Monday. It's total hell. Running on about 4 hours of sleep every day and trying to program. But nothing has blown up. And just two more nights of this, and I get to come HOME!

Not to the point of making it a fine excuse not to come in to the office Monday - Wednesday :) And then, on Thursday?! We FLY TO VEGAS!!!

jaq (jaq), Saturday, 9 December 2006 00:12 (seventeen years ago) link

or... erm... maybe... "preventing it from being a fine excuse"? Something like that. It's been a long week.

?

Z S, Thursday, 22 December 2011 02:25 (twelve years ago) link

oh wait, MY FLIGHT was just canceled.

FUCK

Z S, Thursday, 22 December 2011 02:26 (twelve years ago) link

what the hell

v-shasty, Thursday, 22 December 2011 02:30 (twelve years ago) link

It means that they've been working for too many hours.

C.K. Dexter Holland, Thursday, 22 December 2011 02:33 (twelve years ago) link

yep

now i'm in a hotel near the airport, and just realized my luggage is in en route to chicago (for some reason. they told us that it would be impossible to get our bags tonight because they're "locked up", and to get them in chicago), along with my contact solution, case, razor, change of clothes, etc.

i did manage to get a 6am flight for tomorrow though, so i should still make it to chicago in time for the interview.

Z S, Thursday, 22 December 2011 04:21 (twelve years ago) link

well, one of my bags made it here

kingfish sandbox bonaparte, Thursday, 22 December 2011 08:01 (twelve years ago) link

just landed in chicago, 18 hours after first arriving at the DC airport.

wooooooo!

Z S, Thursday, 22 December 2011 15:23 (twelve years ago) link

"an illegal crew member" is really code for worked too many hours? Wonderful choice of words. It's not as though people in an airport could possibly give any other alarming interpretation to such a phrase.

Dublin airport at Christmas is always quite poignant. Today no exception.

99% of the time i spend at airports is spent in a mixture of boredom and annoyance but it's nice to occasionally be reminded that the arrivals halls are some of the most joyous places you could wish to be at times.

ShariVari, Friday, 23 December 2011 01:05 (twelve years ago) link

Only took em 20 hours to get my luggage to me

kingfish sandbox bonaparte, Friday, 23 December 2011 08:22 (twelve years ago) link

I am looking forward to eating at the Hooters in the Frankfurt airport in about ten hours.

I'm at Ohare and through security 3.5 hours before my departure time. My flight doesnt even have a gate yet. But there's a semi competent lite jazz band playing Xmas carols.

And directly across from the band, seats with electrical outlets!

I'm at BUR with 30 minutes to go until boarding for the first leg of BUR->LAS->JFK. Free wi-fi, an outlet in front of the gate, trying to decide what to watch on my LAS layover... Captain America, Cowboys And Aliens, or Scorsese's George Harrison documentary?

Pilot: "And if there's anything I can do to make your flight more enjoyable, please let us know." DO A BARREL ROLL!

And can we get some inspirational music, cheers, and high fives when the seatbelt sign goes off after we land? "We made it guys! Woo!"

seven years pass...

I'm in an airport. I have been here for six hours. I have twice boarded and disembarked the same plane and received eight delay notices.
