So you read the last post where I basically vented about last week. Yada yada I get a cookie for my coping skills. Cool. Soooo... I landed Thurs night and was headed out again Sunday.. Cool. Here's the replay of the weird things that happened (the fun details will be included tomorrow as said previously..this is just the weird stuff)
1. 10:25 am Sunday. At the airport. Ready to roll! What what!!! *insert me raising the roof like a moron* Maintenance issues prevented us from leaving. My personal fav was the announcement "We have a must-fix issue and some issues that can wait.." My thoughts .. "can wait?! CAN WAIT?! Awesome.. That doesnt make me nervous.." haha.. Sooo.. within a bit, we got the "We're getting a new plane from the hangar." Okay.. so we do all that. Leave late. To be expected these days.. whatev.
2. Go to get bag. Mind you.. I HATE checking bags...esp for short trips. But, frankly, I just didn't wanna deal with it so I paid my 15 bucks and there I stood, waiting for my little red bag. It appeared and looked like it got in a fight with a trash compactor...and lost. I took my mangled bag and left.
3. Rental car. "Ma'am (thats me), go to the second floor, get the camry, keys in it.." Okay.. I do that.. til I try to leave and security man says "They gave you the wrong car. You ned to take this back and get the right one." The mangled bag and I headed back and got ANOTHER camry and almost drive over those "do not drive over these" spikey things in the process. The GPS computer and I may have had a colorful interchange out loud. (what.ever).
4. Done with training today and have HOURS to kill. Head to Wicker Park to explore! :) Sign by the car says "No parking between 6pm and 12am." Cool. I paid and left. Upon returning at 4:30, I had a ticket...for failing to adhere to the posted sign. Um.. it was 4:30 aka not 6. The ticket my friends...is for 60 bucks! What?! I took pictures to prove I'm right in this one and will be contesting it tomorrow.
5. I get to the airport, head to Macaroni Grill and while in line at hostess stand.. see...my ex. WHAT?! No, it's no one recent. It's someone from law school that some of you have met. He moved away and let's just say our last communication wasn't ahem..something that would result in hugging it out. I pretended to not see him. He saw me. Good Gawd.
Okay. That's that. I feel like negative nancy or something, but I'm totally not... I'm just in awe of the absurdity as of late. I'm working from home tomorrow and plan to sleep a leeeetle in the morning, so I'm hoping nothing blows up before say...9:30. Cross your fingers!!
Tomorrow.. pictures. Rainbows. Smileys. *Affirmative nod* Happy Tuesday, peeps!

And hey in your spare time ...lol can you redo my blog, lovin' the layout!
haha oh, poor thing!! i'm sorry things have been so crazy! they will get better :)
well, i just wrote a really clever comment about how much i hate seeing people that i don't like, and even people that i am neutral about, and it was pretty funny if i do say so myself. it was also really long. perhaps too long. when i went to post there was some kind of error and the comment was lost forever, as i am too lazy to write it all again :)
i'm sorry your last couple of weeks have been hellacious :( i'm hoping that things start to turn around for you!!
