Default NOOOOOOO!

I was right in one of my previous posts . . . in that, my luck is crap with everything transportation-related.

1. Crashed car
2. Hail damage to the rental

And today . . . I spent 5 hours sitting on a plane with no AC . . . on a runway @ O'Hare. At the end of that 5-hour period of time, ALL flights to LGA were cancelled. AHHHH! I now have to begin fighting with United and Mariott for a refund (as neither are willing to just refund my money).

Good evening, damnit!

Marko - you were right . . . I should just board myself up at home and booze it up. It's quite obvious misfortune follows me whereever I go this week.

Default probably not.

After floating MUCHO $$$ for this botched business trip . . . i'm better off staying home and drinking water.

As funny as this sounds . . .

"I need to find a new job that I can afford."

LOL!

Default Man sorry to hear that.......

I know how that feels.....sitting on the runway going nowhere. It almost feels like you can get there faster by driving.

I feel for you man.....better luck next time around!

Default Since you're still posting...

This tells me you're still...

1. alive
2. eating well
3. have a roof over your head
4. have cloths on your back

Boozin' up isn't going to solve anything.
Some things you set yourself up
for, some things just happen. Be glad you're alive.

Roll with the punches.

Default True.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Barely
4. Yes

Trust me, I am rolling with the punches - just find it ironic and rather amusing that everything transportation-related seems to be going wrong for me there days.

The boozin' reference was in response to one of Marko's replies.

Your legs are your only friend. Don't rely on transportation.
