I'm an idiot...
Jun. 11th, 2007 06:13 pmWell, this takes being spaced-out to new heights... having just missed the 3:45pm flight back to San Jose, I settled in to wait for my confirmed 5:45pm flight. It was delayed to 6pm, and the gate changed to one where another flight was still loading, so there weren't enough seats at the gate and I sat down about 50 feet away down the hall.
Time passed... I heard announcements for other flights, other people being paged... not mine. Finally, wondering if my flight had been delayed even further, I walked around the corner to the agent and asked... she told me that it had arrived, they'd moved the departure time back to the original time, boarded it, paged me (!), and it was now closed. I watched the plane push back without me. Sigh.
Now... yet another two hours waiting at Burbank airport. I'm now on the 7:45pm flight. Hope I don't miss *that* one. Sheesh, I could have *driven* to San Jose in the 6 hours it will have taken since leaving JPL... argh. I'm an idiot. I can't believe I missed my flight, just sitting here...
