And the year ends as it begins - with me sitting in an airport with a delayed flight.
Fog has delayed my flight by just long enough that I won't make my connection in Dallas unless they're delayed as well. The next flight from Dallas to Calgary doesn't leave for another 7 hours.
I hope that there's a good bar in the airport.
UPDATE #1
Flight delay has gone from 35 minutes to 55 minutes. Joy.
UPDATE #2
Flight was originally scheduled to leave at 8:55 a.m. and is now scheduled for 10:20 a.m. I've re-booked my connection. I now leave Dallas at 6:10 p.m.
Diamond Back Brewing Company makes a pretty good IPA.
UPDATE #3
Now scheduled to leave at 11:15 a.m.
I know that I shouldn't be installing certain software on this work laptop, but I'm thinking that it might have been worthwhile installing Civ IV on it for this trip.
UPDATE #4
11:35 a.m. now.
I'm beginning to wonder if I'll make that 6:10 flight...
UPDATE #5
11:55 a.m. now.
The fog's cleared a little bit. A flight for Chicago is just taking off now. I imagine that it's too much to hope that my flight gets moved up, not that it matters any more.
UPDATE #6
12:20 p.m. now.
The guy running the bar is, unsurprisingly, in a good mood. I'm kinda regretting that I didn't bring my dongle with me. I could have gotten a decent amount of work done this morning while I waited for my flight.
UPDATE #7
12:40 p.m.
Will somebody please explain to me why the 10:00 flight to Dallas gets to leave at 11:30, but my 8:55 flight keeps getting pushed back?
UPDATE #8
12:50 p.m.
The extra 10 minutes doesn't bother me. What does irk me is that the 12:15 flight to Dallas is scheduled to leave before mine.

Now I don't know; I'm only guessing, but probably the reason the 10:00 flight gets to leave before your flight is because more people on that flight have more money than you. Or perhaps better hair. Or maybe it's because they've all brought their dongles. Maybe it's just the dongle-free flights that are still delayed. I bet if you read the fine print on your boarding pass, it will say "dongle required".
It's entirely possible. Compared to the people I work with, I don't make that much money. I I don't have good hair (additionally, the stuff on my head started greying this year. The stuff on the rest of my body has been greying for years. I know. TMI).
I did check my boarding pass, though, and there was no mention of a dongle requirement. I'm going to have to rule that one out.
