I made it home safe and sound the other night. The start of the flight from Hartford was a little rough. I was in one of those small planes where it was 2-1 seating. I hate those planes with a passion. Anyway, while in Bradley International, I met up with a girl who was also going to Orlando who works as a Business Analyst and goes to UCF. Her name is Kim and she was pretty nice. We managed to sit together on the flight to Orlando from Chicago. Guess the guy we kinda booted out wasn't very thrilled, but he could deal. He got in wicked late! His fault... haha. Also I had the exit row, which was even better. <3 legroom.
I had free WiFi on the flight, only because I watched a Jetta ad and put in a promo code. Fun times! It was actually fairly decent wifi to boot. It was nice. Glad that my laptop's battery held out the entire flight.
Landed around 6ish, didn't even get my bag till about 6:50 and ugh when I got my bag, I wasn't a happy camper. I'm aware that generally airlines aren't responsible for "damage" and such, but there was oil ALL over the top of my bag. I wasn't impressed. So I went to the luggage office just to see if anything could be done.
While there, there was a Brazilian woman who was complaining that her luggage was damaged. From the looks of it, it was only cosmetic and it wasn't that big of a deal, but she made it a huge deal. It got to the point where she was calling the airline "Stupid" and calling everybody in the room "Stupid" and began ranting and raving and then she said "I hope one of your airplanes gets blown up!" and that's when I just couldn't hold back anymore. I turned around and told her to shut the hell up and that saying shit like that can get her arrested and that ontop of that, that's a shit thing to say and that she was an idiot and to get the hell out (cause by that time when she said that, she was stalling on leaving). It was actually fairly amusing because everybody in that room went quiet, even the woman who couldn't believe someone was actually standing up to her.
Seriously, you just don't say that shit! Especially in an airport! I can understand that woman was pissed that her luggage was "damaged", but that does not give her the right to say insane stuff like that! Needless to say I was so mad I was shaking when that was done. I apologized to the attendants behind the desk, but they just shook their heads and told me it was completely fine and she deserved it. Guess they were glad I said what they couldn't in such a well.. colorful manner.
In the end, the airline said that when it comes to oil, they do take care of cleaning. So I'll be bringing my bag back soon to get it cleaned up.
After all that, I went to the security check point where Jeff's gates were and hung out till he landed. Grabbed him and went home, and omg, we walked into a frigid house. Dunno what was going on, but our heater is acting up and last night was pretty chilly (got down to 31 degrees. CT was 32...). So Jeff was up half the night trying to figure out what was going on and to kick it on manually so we could have some heat (when the burners actually kicked on).
I have today off, which is awesome, cause I need a day to recover. Plus I gotta hang around and wait for the repairmen to come look at the heater.
Oi...
