the glamorous (ooh flossy, flossy)


the following is a true account of the glamours of business travel:

4.15am - awake
4.45am - car pick up
5.20am - arrive airport, check-in, fun with security 
6.15am - flight takes off
7.50am - land, car to meeting
10.00am - begin full day of meetings 
5.00pm - end full day of meetings, car back to airport
5.15pm - learn flight is cancelled en route, get rebooked on new flight
8.00pm - learn new flight delayed by half hour
8.30pm - de-ice the plane
9.00pm - take off
9.45pm - learn there is a 'non-emergeny' problem with plane requiring you to return to the airport you just left 
10.15pm - re-land back at airport, switch planes
10.35pm - de-ice new plane
11.00pm - take-off again
1.15am - estimated time of arrival
1.45am - actual time of arrival
2.00am - arrive home, finally, after a 22 hour day

not sure it's worth the frequent flyer miles...
