I Want Home

You people have no idea what I went through on Friday night. In the span of 10 hours, I went through three different travel hells. The first was Rental Car Hell, where I walked into a rental car agency to return a car and found every single employee occupied with an irate, profanity-spewing customer. You know what? The customers were right! You know how there's a Take Your Daughter to Work Day where people take their daughters to work so they can get an idea of a real work environment? This must've been Take a Random Dumbass to Work and Let Them Run the Credit Card Machine Day. There was some righteous anger in that room, and I wanted to grab a pitchfork right with those people.

The second hell was Connecting in JFK Hell, where I had 30 minutes to make a flight connection across terminals in JFK on a Friday night with an incorrect boarding pass (thanks for that part, JetBlue). This, of course, led to the one instance in history where the rental cops examined a boarding pass and thought critically about the data contained on that piece of paper. When I do make make it past that hassle and get to the plane just in time, we proceed to wait to take off for an hour and a half.

And the third hell was kind of expected at this point: JetBlue Loses My Luggage and Runs Out of Doritos. The end result was that I got home after 2 AM Saturday morning. However, Jetblue does have DirecTV and Office Space was on, so it wasn't a total loss.
