My Life Sucks Ass Right Now....

[revid]

Yeah, I'm supposed to be in Vancouver right now. But, I'm not. I'm in McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. Did you know they had free wi-fi there? Well, I know now. Don't click on the cut if you are offended by certain four letter anglo-saxonisms.




Arrrgh! No wonder they call it America Worst! I knew it was a mistake to book a flight from San Luis Obispo to Vancouver via Phoenix! It didn't seem so fucking stupid at the time. So I get to Phoenix and all is hunky-dory. The Phoenix-Vancouver flight leaves on time, too. Wow! Batting two for two. Then about an hour into the flight, the captain comes on the overhead to say we're diverting to LV because of something about air conditioning/compressor/whatever. Las Fucking Vegas! Well, they both have the letter V in them.

So they trundle us off the plane, then about 30 min. later, tell us that they need to bring in a new plane, and BTW it won't be arriving here until 4:45. Meaning it won't be in Vancouver until 8:00pm. I was supposed to be in YVR at 1:35. Why am I so pissed off? Because I have both a connecting flight and a ferry to catch. I can change my connecting flight, but it arrives in Campbell River at 10:30. Guess what time the last ferry leaves Campbell River? Ten-fucking-thirty five!

No earlier flight. I did manage to leave a message for the friends I was supposed to meet in YVR. This sucks! It isn't like I can rent a private boat or swim across the frickin' water. So now I have to pay for a hotel room in Campbell River. And my compensation from American West for this? A meal voucher for $5.00. Bastards!!



The only bright spot is that I see al_teregoz has posted another chapter to her wonderful fic, so I can go read that now and get cheered up. Or try anyway. Grrrrrrrr!

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I had the foresight to have some videoclips and fics copied to my HD to improve my mood. I did have a great vacation after all.

Ack that SUCKS! Ferry schedules are so horribly inconvenient. I hope your trip is spectacular enough that you forget allllll about this idiocy!

Everthing worked out eventually! I can't imagine being so dependant on a boat schedule for everthing. But I had a great trip!

Oh man I'm so, so sorry. That's incredibly horrible, on so many levels...that's just so inconsiderate of their passengers, you know, LIVES *anger.* At least you were able to read some fics during the downtime, and you'll have a great story for people after wards... "Let me tell you about the fuck-tasticness that is American West..." I hope the rest of your trip is tons of fun...*hug*

The rest of my trip went great! Thanks for listening to me rant. AmWest is now US Air, but I doubt anything will get any better. Sigh.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up on your fic and comment today--it's nice to come home to so much good stuff to read...if I can find the time!

Oh, man...that sucks mightily. I hope once you got there it was a great weekend. And glad you had something to read, too. ;)

It was really nice to get to read your chapter in the airport. It did brighten my day a bit! The rest of my trip was great--the weather was quite nice. Cold and sunny I can handle!

And I can't wait to catch up on the rest of the chapters today!

Hey! You're in Vegas? I live in Vegas! That airport sucks though.. and flying sucks cause everything goes wrong but whatever. =)

I have nothing against Vegas at all--it's just that I didn't want to be there at that exact moment! :-) The rest of my trip went great however!

Awwwwwwww *HUGS* I'm so sorry you're having such problems!! *reminds you of that Billie clip I sent you* :p I hope everything worked out okay!

[revid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Billie clip was nice. :-) Everything worked out OK eventually! Thanks for the hugs and good thoughts. :-)
