My hellish day yesterday

Thought you’d all appreciate how I spent my Tuesday.

Woke up, 3am.
Got into a car to the airport, 4am
Get on my plane to Houston, 5:05am, with upgrade. (woo!)
Take off time: 5:50am
Take off actual time: 6:50am.
Land in Houston: 9:30am
Connection to Denver take off time: 9:10am.
Negative amount of time between landing and my connection: 20 minutes.
Go to president’s club, ask to be rebooked: 9:35am.
Call client: 9:40am
Client says that if I can’t get in by the 2:30pm meeting, no point in coming, I should go home and reschedule.
Get on 10:50am flight to Newark
Flight leaves: 11:30
Flight lands at Newark: 4:40pm. IN COACH.
Back to my apartment: 6pm.

How’d you spend yesterday?

I flew around the country.

Are you a pilot?

No.

Sigh.

Do you ever think about when you were a kid and you’d hear about someone traveling on business and it sounded GLAMOROUS?

Courage. Think about the frequent flyer points.

You should try this new service called Airtroductions (http://www.airtroductions.com) - at least that way you could sit next to someone interesting.

Oh, wait, you know those guys.

Never mind.

Hey, it could’ve been worse. You could have been flying to IOWA.

heh.
