I WANT TO SCREAM
So, at 10pm last night the power went out. Of course I couldn't get to sleep for fear that I would oversleep and miss my flight. It came back on 40 minutes later and I was able to set my alarm. But, I still woke up throughout the night stressing about my trip this morning.

Yes, it's 5:45am. I have a 7:20 flight. You may be asking, why is she blogging, shouldn't she be on her way to the airport? Right now it's the only thing keeping me sane. I've been listening to USAirways tell me to "please wait" over and over and over and freakin' over again for the last 48 minutes. I tried to check-in online this morning. Couldn't do it last night because there was no power. However, apparently when I called my travel agent to RESEARCH changing my flight to Tuesday when she told me that it would be silly to change because I'd incur a $500 far change that she actually booked me on the Tuesday flight. So, when I tried to check-in online, I couldn't. So I called USAirways and have been waiting for them to get authorization to put me back on my original flight. I don't understand the issue. We're under a travel advisory which means ticket changes are allowed. My flight is still scheduled to depart on time - in an hour and a half and I'm SITTING IN ELMER!!! I want to scream. My car is covered in snow. I won't have time for a shower. And with my luck, I'll have to take the Tuesday flight only to have to pay $500. AAAGGGHHH!!!!!

There is a reason companies play elevator music when you're on hold. It's relaxing and avoids the mental state I'm currently in. Hearing "please wait" every 15 seconds for the past half hour is literally driving me insane. It is not comforting. With each repitition I want to freak out just a little bit more. I'm not going to make my flight. I know it. It's now been 53 minutes that I've been on the phone with them. This is ridiculous. How difficult can this be???? What if I've been disconnected and have no way of knowing. This is STUPID. I'm usually at the airport by now. This is not the way to start a week.

I guess you'll have to check back later to see how this all plays out. I hate my life.
