miami trip, day one: so my four day trip to miami started off without a hitch. and by without a hitch, i mean waiting for a cab to the airport for an hour and a half and missing my flight. as i pulled up to the terminal, im pretty sure i saw the actual plane i was supposed to be on taking off from the airport into the late evening sky.

awesome. just fucking awesome.

oh wait, it gets better. you dont go through the self check-in at the counter when youve missed your flight, so i got to stand in line and wait to speak to a human being. our conversation went a little something like this.

no theres not a later flight

yes, we understand that cab drivers are jackasses, but theres nothing we can do about that.

the next flight takes off tomorrow morning twenty minutes before kickoff.

so at this point, i am extremely incensed as to my situation, to the extent that every single little thing about existence irritates me. the next thirty minutes or so went like this.

jeezus, how can it be cold enough to need a jacket. dammit now i cant even go out and get drunk tonight. holy crap, this is the most unnecessary cab ride ever.

back at my apartment after the second shitty cab tip of the day, i played some xbox and slept in my clothes, in anticipation of the real miami trip, day one, which would come much later than i thought.
