left the show early on sunday, hoping to get maybe a better flight home, or even a better seat.

And then I went to the passenger irritation lounge waiting area to wait for the originial flight I booked.

And had to move to two different gates before it was all over. All told, three gate changes and delays. When we did get on the plane we sat on the tarmack for a half hour, then made up some time in the air. Where the guy seated next to me used the crapper, making a smell bad enough that people all the way in business class were retching. The poor flight attendant had to stand there. Once on the ground, another delay as they waited for a clear gate. Finally rolled into the driveway at around three A.M..

And promptly turned around and left for my next job. Now I’mtyping from a hotel computer with a sticky spacebar. And off to the grind after breakfast.
