Non-Angry, Non-Coffee Ranty post
Mar. 5th, 2007 01:03 amBecause I'm not ready to sleep yet, and have a minute.
Yeah today kinda sucked. Work and all. CPA #1 demanding more time when I pretty clearly said "once or twice" try every other week. Also, returning from client visit to roll right into work for two days, and lack time to unpack my dirty undies. Yeah NOT fun.
Let's discuss the client visit. Boss sent me list, most everything I needed to do was on my desk, AT THE OFFICE. The only thing this trip did for me was reassure client, open a can of worms that needs immediate fixing and fuck with my schedule. I did discover I need more pillows (and ones made out of feathers) because the hotel's pillows were Teh Awesome.
Also, my flight back was, in a word, fuck. I was scheduled on the 7:35 flight. It was a small plane, and I knew there was bad weather. I got a text saying there were delays, but I also got a text saying "No worries we're all on time." Left when I planned to, got to rental drop off point, and to the terminal no problem. While in line to check my luggage, got a text the flight was delayed, til 8:30PM. Got through rather LONG security line no issues (BTW - if you're a greasy emo boy, and you go through the checkpoint with your russian army formal jacket AND cap on and out, you're going to get "chosen" for a more indepth search, and if you're lucky you WON'T get probed. Oh how we laughed.)
Anyway, long story short, my departure time changed no less than a dozen times. At one point around 7 it said more like 11, and I called my client. I decided to stay in the airport, got dinner, paid for some internet access, and kept an eye on my cell, which texted me the gate change and time change well before anyone else knew. That was nice. Having the time continue to change every 20 minutes, not so nice.
7:35 flight, boarded 11:20. I walked out of the terminal at Logan at 1AM. WELL PAST getting the Logan express, or any bus. Noone available to pick me up. $50 cab ride. *sighs*
I had to work Saturday, which is why I booked the earlier flight. Never again!
Bah. Anyway, that's been the past few weeks, and the next few will suck. I have an audit to prepare for, really should have gone to catch up at the day job today, and will be behind and cranky for quite a bit yet. I think I'm planning on being out Saturday night, by then I will need some down time.
OK bed is calling, and it's doing so in that sexy voice I love.
PS - new laptop kicks royal amounts of arse, and me love it long time. I FINALLY transferred all my email over tonight, and the program I found recommended online was brilliant. Wish I'd gone to Thunderbird/Firefox sooner! This beautiful thing was up for work, up for play after work, and all the abuse heaped on it at the airport. AND I got it a spiffy new storage sleeve. *squeeee* I think everyone needs one!
