Y6 D85

Waking up in Dallas unplanned is a weird way to start one's day. I should be in Ohio right now starting a class. Instead I am sitting in a $400 a night room in Dallas. Why? Weather. It's always weather.

I left the house yesterday at 4am, got to the airport and had no problem on my first flight in to DFW. Had my upgrade, was fed a decent breakfast, no issues. I arrived and my flight was fine. The pilot on the way in announced there were some thunderstorms and we would have a bumpy ride in, but it shouldn't be an issue. We did have a bumpy ride but we landed.

It appeared my flight was on time and there were no problems. Then 20 minutes before it was supposed to board, flight 1 canceled. I dealt with rescheduling from a 12:30 flight to a 3:30 flight. At 2, that got canceled. The six pm then got canceled. I am now on a 6pm flight tonight. I am going to the airport shortly to see about standing by for the 12 or 3 today, but worse case I will get to Ohio at 10pm EST.

When the last flight got canceled I called Hilton who gave me excellent service btw, and told them to change my existing reservation and find me a room. I didn't care how much. I wanted the nicest hotel in town. I was pissed off and frustrated. Got here around 4. Caught B up on everything, caught the client up on everything, found the bar. I then proceeded to drink for 5 hours. I was just fed up.

Got back to the room around 9:30 and blacked out. No gilding the lily on this one. I had a fall down cold night last night. Luckily I ate 4 advil and got my contacts out first.

Now to see about getting to Ohio.
