Day 2

Good morning folks.. its 1021 here and Im back again on the uncomfortable seats here in the airport. Uncomfortable is an understatement, however, I think from yesterday my butt has conformed to them...and my sacrum quit whining somewhere.

I've made a few phone calls already, and luckily the laptop is at full power today!! Yay! Can't say as much for the phone though, something weird happened overnight, it shut off and decided charging was not something it really wanted to do.

I woke up this AM somewhere's around 0630, enough to look at the clock and grumble. Its a good thing I got up, since the alarm was set on my phone which inadvertently was off. *Blink Blink* yeah I'm up.. I hate morning.

The continental breakfast was good at the hotel, complete with cereal, fruit, coffee, and fresh made waffles. Oh and some hard boiled eggs. Let me reiterate this budget thing again.. no money... free breakfast... pig out. So a bowl of cereal, a donut, a coffee, an orange and 2 hard boiled eggs and I'm set until dinner time or so lol.
I check out of the hotel and am at the airport for 0945...no one here has record of me yet flying today. And the dude that checked me in yesterday remembers me and laughs that I'm back. Keep laughing chuckles... and I'll have you out there pulling the string to get the plane going. We just won't say where the string is attached to. A company phone call and all is well... booked on a flight going to Sioux Lookout. HEY I was there yesterday!!!! In fact about 16hrs ago to be exact. I once again am going in circles. Story of my life. Sad but true.

So, its a new airline this time...the planes are bigger (by this I mean appear bigger) and the baggage allowance is more, plus I get a carryon. The good ole trusty laptop! Woohoo!! But since its a new airline, I get to recheck my luggage, and again pay overage fees. Oh please meester airline... take more of my money... bastards. I'm gonna claim all this you know. Damnit!

So to get into Sioux Lookout takes about an hour. We leave here at 1140am, and arrive there at 1130am... so at least I'm gaining an hour somewhere in my day. There is apparently a taxi waiting to take me to my station. Which is 3hrs away. Oh joy... oh rapture. I can move from plane sickness to car sickness.

C'est la vie....

Let's just hope I don't end up back in Thunder Bay tonight... or worse...
