Oh man, I thought I had a rough day on Sunday.
Short story, yes, I had fun Saturday night meeting TJ and his bf and his friend. We had dinner and then went out for drinks. But then my mind is muddled because I ended up - by the late evening feeling kinda not right. Fatigue is the right word, but it doesn't create the intensity. I was literally about to shut down. And no, it wasn't the booze or whatnot. I was actually fine on that score.
Perhaps it was TJ's personality. How can someone so sweet voiced imply such, um, fun? (More later...?)
No, in fact, this has happened before to me. It's been happening every few months or so since last August and it always happens out of the blue. I mention a similar time in this post. I still don't understand it, physically.
Anyways, I went back to my room and immediately fell asleep and slept for 5 hours during the day. I'm recovered somewhat quickly the next day. Unfortunately I had to now go for the work portion of the trip and that made me drag ass for the whole time.
Though I hardly had a bad day in comparison to my coworkers.
OMG. I can't find a goddam mention of this in the news, but I'm here to tell you that people around the country, including fellow workmates from east, west, north, and south in the US, were trapped in planes sitting in fields going nowhere for 3 hours, 4, 5.... No one could explain why.
I mean, fuck that. Let people fucking OUT so they can have a drink or something.
Outfuckingrageous.
See all those red dots? Those are all the major airports at 11pm Sunday night. The dots should be green. Red means horrific taxi-ing delays, including (so I'm hearing directly) people trapped in airplanes for over 4 hours and THEN they lifted off.
How much you wanna bet no one was given so much as a peanut? In some cases, they weren't even allowed to go to the fucking bathroom even though they were NOT flying yet. I would have peed on the seat in protest. Serves them right.
FUCK them. I mean seriously, fuck that bullshit. Who are these airlines to treat their paying customers like dogshit?
I dunno, it doesn't seem worth paying for a flight.
Why would I pay extra for a checked bag on such a flight.
Anyway, this confirms my newfound desire to never fly again.
It also teaches me that I didn't really have that bad a day on Sunday... in comparison.

Don't forget that many times things are not all that they appear to be on the surface. And also don't forget that the airlines are at the complete mercy of the FAA, the airport control, the fuelers, the cleaners, the caterers, the TSA, etc etc. It's not an easy line to draw.
"FUCK them. I mean seriously, fuck that bullshit. Who are these airlines to treat their paying customers like dogshit?"
Amen - and what is wrong with a government that condones such customer abuse as standard operating procedure anymore?
I'm with you in that if I ever fly again, it will be too soon!
Dude, I want details about meeting TJ! I have a serious blog-crush on him, so I wanna know what it was like!
