canadiandiamondWell, things have changed a little. I've been hanging out all over the airport since I got here at 6:30am. They gave us a 1-800 number to check for rescheduled / added flights every now and then, and I've been calling every 45 - 60 mins. I didn't get anywhere with it until 11:40am or so, when this lady was like "Oh yeah, there's an 11:55am flight! I'll cancel your Thursday one and put you on this." Which is kinda pushing it time wise, hehe. I asked her if it was ok, did I still have time to check in and all that, and she said yes, so off I run. When I get to the express check-in, where you can just enter some ID / numbers and get a boarding pass, it doesn't work. I just think it's because I literally just got off of the phone with this lady and it's not updated online yet. So I ask an agent there and she informs me that it's way, way, way too late for the 11:55am flight.
I was pretty exasperated by this point and went on a little rant about how I've been there since yesterday and this lady on the phone told me I could get this flight and could I please get put on a fucking airplane out of here? Ok, I didn't swear though, but I was kinda cross, for me anyway! She was nice though and by the time we were done I had a ticket for 7:50pm tonight, which is almost as good really. Even if I left this morning like the idiot on the phone told me I could (this agent printed out a report to file with her supervisor since I was given totally wrong info), I'd still have to drive home and wouldn't be able to work anyway. So if I can go tonight, which I'm seriously not getting my hopes up as I eye the forecast, it'll be ok. I can stay at my sister's place, drive back tomorrow morning and possibly go to work in the afternoon. Much better than flying out on Thursday, which would make it impossible to work until Friday really.
The whole situation with the agent ended well, since I might get out tonight maybe and 'cause she was kinda pissed too, not at me but at the idiot who switched my flights. I mean, it was impossible for me to get this 11:55am one, and I shudder to think what would've happened if during the time I switched that I couldn't even get the Thursday flight back. -.-;; But yeah, it ended well, but after I left and went to have a seat in the waiting area. I think I pretty much had a panic attack or something then, it took me about 15-20 minutes of deep breathing and concentrating just to stop feeling like I was about to burst out crying. It's all just been such a pain in the ass, to put it mildly. Then there's all this work stress and personal things that I don't tell anyone about (one because of confidentiality / privilege, the other... just 'cause, heh) and the fact that I'm eating into my vacation for next year, it's just... I don't know, just thinking about it again here is making my throat feel tight. Dammit, I hate feeling like such a wuss or something, heh. I think part of it was thinking that it'd be good to have someone there to just lean against or tell me it'd be ok, but there's never been any such person and likely won't be, which is a whole other line of thinking that I should also be avoiding right about now. XD
Anyway! I think my sleep is just so messed up. It's irregular at best when I'm not traipsing around the Northeastern USA and the Maritimes, but it's been much worse lately. When you start off staying up for pretty much 40+ hours straight (with a short, short nap roughly in between), things can only go downhill from there. Time in Boston varied from that marathon beginning to a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge sleeping in, then an average one, then up super early omg to get to the airport. Then it's been erratic here with trying to catch a goddamn plane, so yeah, that's taking its toll on me now. Thankfully this will be a short, short work week.
The one good thing about all this is that these last 3-4 LJ entries? Have been about the longest ones I've ever done, hehe. Though it's mostly bitching and whining, so that's probably a bad thing and not a good one. XD I did pick up The DaVinci Code on paperback today, which just came out today, to read on the plane. I've read the first few chapters, seems ok so far. Other than that... yeah, not much new to report. My throat is still sore, and my appetite is still down too. You can ask![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
everyoung, I don't think I completed a full meal while in Boston, which is weird. Even last night I didn't eat the whole thing I ordered when we were out for supper here in Halifax. I think something's wrong with me but I have no idea what. Which leads back to the whole everything stressing me out thing and what I shouldn't be doing, so yes, stopping that now.
And I guess that's about it. This is probably extremely discombobulated but I'm too lazy to read it over and check. XD Sorry if it is!
