So I got on the plane and waited for them to get clearance to take off. And waited. And waited. And waited until they deplaned us so we could be more comfortable while they waited to be rerouted. It was at that point that I realized, man, there's no fucking way I'm going to make my connecting flight in Cincinnati. So I talked to the ladies at the counter, and they reassured me that no, there was no fucking way I was going to make my connecting flight in Cincinnati, and to make matters worse, there were no more flights to Birmingham tonight.

So I'm at home, dude. Right now I'm scheduled for a 6 a.m. flight out of here tomorrow and to finally arrive in B'ham at 9:30. But that's still an hour's drive from Tuscaloosa. So I guess the guy who was going to pick me up tonight could still pick me up then and we'd push the interview back--I dunno. He doesn't have his cell on, so I haven't been able to talk with him yet.

Assfucked assfucked assfucked assfucked.

Do you have the guy's office number at the U of A?

Oy.

Well, it is not your fault. So just put a cork in your ass and say no.

Who knows, maybe this plane would have blown up, or sumpin'. So you go tomorrow.

Yeah, in fact that's the only number I had for him until I got home. I left a message on his work phone when I was at the airport, but it was 5:30 his time by then and I guess he didn't get it. So when I got home an hour or so ago, I tracked down his home number and called there, but he wasn't home. His wife gave me his cell number, but apparently it's off, cuz I got voice mail on the first ring.

Anyway. Nothing I can do about it. Frustrating as all hell, though.

Yap. Would've liked not to have to interview right off the plane, but oh well. We'll see what happens.

As long as you don't show up like that Chris Farley character Matt Foley the motivational speaker, everything will be fine.

Ludes, dude. But only halfers. :-p

Well, it's out of your hands unless you're secretly a pilot. ;)

It was all my fault--I forgot to take the lucky rock Margaret lent me. But tomorrow I won't be so forgetful. :)

It'll be mighty hot down there and I'll be wearing a jacket, so I might just start sweatin' like Foley. Ludes will definitely be in order. ;)

Oh Flea, I know it screws up your plans but believe me, as your flight attendant friend, its better to have you guys go back to the airport than sit there in the tin tube for 3 hours. Talk about nasty moods. Plus bebe the weather all around the US has majorly sucked for the last month.

Yeah, it actually would have been way worse if they hadn't taken us off the plane and I'd ended up going to Cincinnati and still not making my connection. Then I really woulda been assfucked.

I thought of you on the plane! I thought, man, Jet's way better looking than these chicks they got working up on here. ;)
