Cancelled
December 17, 2007
As I arrived at the O’hare International airport this afternoon my blackberry began to buzz. It often does this when I ride the train because there is spotty service along the way. I normally don’t pay much attention to it because it is typically boring emails that I don’t need to read right away. Today, however I read it right away and it is a good thing I did. In my inbox there was an email from United telling my my flight had been cancelled. About 10 minutes later I got another one telling me I had been re-booked on a 6:20 am (!) flight tomorrow morning. I appreciate the convenience of them doing this for me but they could have told me just a little sooner. I had already paid for one cab and suffered the excruciatingly long train ride due to a massive stretch of “slow zone” that I am assured that will be fixed by December 2008 (!).
So…I got back on a train and 3 hours later am now sitting in our warm apartment listening to cats meow.
All in a days travels…
