Ah, business travel...I guess it shouldn't have excited me from moment one.

I'm at home now. I spent 4pm-10pm sitting in Midway, waiting and watching my flight get pushed back over and over and over, and then "cancelled" until 8:30am Monday, because FAA regulations wouldn't let the crew fly any more hours on Sunday (after the CPU glitch that set all of American Airlines back 2 hours). I checked ATA, the only remaining departure from Midway to Dallas. $250 one way. Didn't matter though, because there was no room. Latest flight out of O'Hare was around midnight, but I wouldn't have made it (taking the trains), especially given the runaround I'd probably have had to go through to get switched to that flight, etc., etc.

So now I'm going to miss half the day of working on this story (the fun part, touring the plant), and maybe will miss interviewing the company president. I don't like that. It makes story-writing harder.

Thankfully, my supervisor (who flew out of O'Hare about 1.5 hours late, but got to Dallas) was understanding. Still, I'm not happy about this. But, I have to now go to bed and rest up, as tomorrow's not going to be a short day by any means. Dammit.

Goodnight all...more upon my return. Once I go, that is.
