Wednesday, August 27, 2008 – Day One of Eight
Today I worked and then went to the airport. I made it there rather quickly and ended up with only about five minutes to kill in the airport. Perfect. My flight leaves at 5:30, but it’s about fifteen minutes after that when the pilot announces he has good news and bad news. The bad news is that we are 21st in line to take off. The good news is that there are planes behind us with longer waits and we are not one of those planes. Oh yeah. Still though, this actually is much less of a wait than I am accustomed to. I am used to it being hours after we are supposed to take off before they tell us we are 92873498237489237478923473289th in line.
I have the whole row to myself by the way. This is my specialty.
