Today, however, is not so awesome. I'm heading to Utah for a few days and had a 7:05 flight on JetBlue. So, I arrived the customary 90 minutes early, just in case something goes wrong. Immediately I find out that my flight is now leaving at 8:16, so I'm WAY early. Great, no big deal, I'll crank some tunes, buy a big Coke and read a bit.
One bonus is that I discovered a sports bar showing the NBA 3-point and Slam Dunk contests—so maybe things won't be so bad. Wrong. It is now 8:24, and I am not leaving till probably 9:30. So, I was WAY, WAY early. The plane I am waiting for is arriving soon, but it has to sit on the runway while another plane lands, boards and takes off. How did they manage that? I called to butting in line, but they didn't listen. So I have to wait here longer. At least I don't have to wait on the plane I guess.
To top it off, there is no where to sit at my gate. Oh, rest assured, there are a lot of seats without people sitting in them, but they all have their poop on them, and when I give them dirty looks, they just look the other way and pretend they didn't see me. So now I am at another gate, hoping that somehow my flight doesn't change again and I miss it. I do feel bad for my brother-in-law, who was to pick me up at 10 pm Utah time, but now it will be about 1 am. Again, that's awesome.
In fact, maybe I should go sit at the gate, on the hard tile floor in the hallway, that sounds like fun.
This is what I look like when I've been at the airport for 3 hours, with another to go:

My poor baby. However it doesn't beat my 10 hour delay I had years ago. But I was with about 6 other people I knew and had a visit from my wonderful mommy and daddy! So that sucks that you had to deal with this on your own. And by the way you should have just moved the inconsiderate peoples luggage on the floor yourself and sat down with out looking at them.
