Back From Hell !!
December 21, 2006
I’ve been Back form Hell a few days now but was dealing with work, family, friends and many disappointments so didn’t have the chance to post earlier.. As you can tell from the title.. I didn’t exactly have an enjoyable trip.. but business is business and there is no place for slacking or complaining.
No place for slacking or complaining ?
hmmm can you hear yourself DiiGMaa ??
I wish you’d treat all your life issues with that attitude DiiGMaa..
Why is it that some people can be so mature and composed at professional life, yet when put in personal situations the guard is let down and the sensitivity radar is busted from over detection..
I know why..
coz kids aren’t allowed at the work place and that means our inner child has to be left home from 9-5 everyday..
Well anyways, I’m back from Hell.. And in a nutshell, not including all the gruesome details, until the last minute at the airport I hated the place.. I have always been the optimistic type, and I was the first day I was there.. after day one everything went down hill.. I decided to stay in my hotel room (5 stars my @$$.. motel by my standards) after my work was done every night til it was time to go to the airport so to avoid any unavoidable trouble.. but lo and behold trouble was waiting for me at the airport the day I was due to travel to my second destination.. (typical DiiGMaa and her Murphyism)
Now I’ve seen quite a bit when traveling.. I mean I’ve been Deported, missed flights, called on the speakers, last one to board, refused to board due to expired passport and so much more…
but never have I ever been threatened and shouted at in such a way !!
“You will not travel”
“You will not board this or any flight”
“and you will be stuck in this airport”
(all that went through my mind was: I’m gonna be the next living Tom Hanks “The Terminal” character)
all for a measly bribe and a few dollars !!
I paid gladly.. and was willing to sell my soul to the devil as long as my body was outta that damn country.. I mean Hell !!
Don’t worry.. when I reached my destination, a family friend asked me how my flight was.. and when I told him the issue he told me he had a meeting with the CEO of that airline the day before and will be meeting again the next day.. he made sure to take details and officially make a complaint..
Justice served !
So how have all of you been ??
Missed you all ;*
