Tomorrow, I have to leave for Las Vegas via Charlotte. That means I’ll be stuck at an airport and\/or on a plane from about 7:00 in the morning until something like 4:00 in the afternoon my time (or 1:00 PDT). It’s not something I’m really looking forward to, especially since it’s a United Airways flight. Few things are worse than flying United Airways (no bags, no food, no entertainment – but for $20 they’ll let you board sooner than everybody else, which means you get to sit in your crappy, cramped little seat that much longer). <\/p>\n
On the bright side, they have WiFi, which I can buy for $14 for the day. It was also more expensive than tickets I could have purchased on Jet Blue, but because we have to go through a specific travel agent, I’m not allowed to do that (this is how NY State works, apparently). Even worse, because I was not able to handle my own travel arrangements and the person who did it dropped the ball, I’m not sitting with the person I’m going with, and on the flight back I’m stuck in a middle seat. Good thing it’s a red eye – maybe I’ll get some sleep).<\/p>\n
I’m not really looking forward to going, to be honest. I find flying to be a pain in the ass, and I’m not especially excited to go to Las Vegas and I don’t really think this thing I’m going to is gonna be all that worthwhile, either. Basically, I only agreed to go for two reasons – it’s free (though free trips always seem to wind up costing money), and it’s better than working (but not by much).<\/p>\n
Speaking of work, I guess I better get back to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
