I started my week out on Sunday on the computer and on the phone trying to get a flight out of Norfolk. After many wasted hours I gave up and decided to just spend the rest of the evening at home with my son and his family.
Monday morning bright and early thinking I would definately be able to get out of Norfolk and into Syracuse, I was in touch with my contact at Syracuse airport only to find out I didn't have a chance in hell of getting into Syracuse. So instead of wasting my whole day as I did on Sunday, I forgot about trying and spent the day playing with my grandchildren.
On Tuesday at the crack-ass-of dark I was at the airport in Norfolk with the good chance to make it to Syracuse by 8:30am after a brief stop in Philly. Yeh, well when landing my phone messaged me that the flight out of Philly at 7:30 was cancelled due to fog. For the rest of the day I walked from one end of the concorse to the other for every flight that was heading to Syracuse only to be bumped. I had to have some nurishment and bought a sandwich and water to the tune of $15.00. OMG I think I know why flights are cancelled. Because the airport needs to make money !!!
Finally my ass found a seat on the 5:30pm flight and for that I was grateful since the next one wasn't leaving until 8:59pm. I arrived in Syracuse and needed to take a cab to my office where my car had been left. Thinking that would be cheaper than leaving my car at the airport, I was sadly mistaken. I cost $21 to move me less than 3 miles AND of course you have to "tip" the driver, I guess for just getting in the car. Whatever, at least I was in the nearly home.
I worked Wed and Thurs mostly to get the things done that had been left for me. I went into the office on Friday which is something that I avoid at all costs unless it's absolutely necessary. Well unfortunately it was necessary this week. Too much work pilled up to face the next week.
Well here it is Sunday night and I don't even know where the week and weekend went. I have come to realize that as we get older the time seems to fly by. Funny but I don't remember the time going by so fast when I was sitting in math class in high school!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a good week.
