To continue my $&@Q*#$ you to TSA, I decided to write a play by play or rather a twitter blog post of what’s happening. So right now I am suppose to be at my “final destination” and possibly already working! Basically I was flying Continental Airlines from Newark, NJ to Burlington, VT. I have done this flight before and its a simple puddle jumper (3 seats, 1 on right, 2 on left) plane. Well, after about an hour of taxiing to the runway, our plane decides to pull over and loop around. We are about to “take off” and then pull away AGAIN (ugh!). Our plane has some “maintenance problems” so we had to go back to the gate. After about another 30 minutes at the gate, Continental decides to switch planes and tells us our new gate number. Once arriving at our “new gate” which shows are plane, departed, HA! We find out the plane is at another gate, so rather then announce a new gate, now they move the plane (which should take another 20 minutes). GENIUS! The next best part, I almost died of laughter, someone asked the Continental staff “I am not a rocket scientist, but rather then move the plane, why can’t we all just goto the new gate?”.
Anyway, back to the waiting and my twitter blog. I hope my luggage (which is gate checked) will goto the “new” plane. We will see when (if) I arrive at my “final destination”. Thank you Continental and TSA, you made my day!
We are in the air, and I am using my approved portable electronic device! Well another 40 minutes and I should be on the ground. The only thing that will make my day, will be a can of Mr. Pibb. ( the east coast doesn’t have it!) For some reason, Continental has Mr. Pibb as a beverage on their flights, which is awesome because I can only get it while I am on the West Coast. Anyway, another day and another state. I am off to start my work with the Illuminator project and am so excited, finally the plane landed and I am ready to deplane!
