Travel recap.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

I’d initially typed, “[t]rip out was uneventful.” Then I remembered fucking Atlanta. If there’s one thing in that city that routinely fails more than their football team, it’s the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since I’m barely able to function these days, I requested a wheelchair. The United pickup coming out of IAD was simple enough. When we got to ATL, I got a chair just coming off the plane. The airport employee ferried me seamlessly through to a different terminal, and right past the security checkpoint, headed towards the baggage claim\/ground transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n

Uh. We had a connecting flight. Oh. So back through the TSA checkpoint. <\/p>\n\n\n

(And this is where I tried to find the South Park<\/em> clip where the Toilet Safety Administration was telling people she need to “check ya asshole.” But my computer crashed, and I don’t feel like going back to find it again….)<\/p>\n\n\n

But after that, we still had enough time to grab a bite to eat, and get on the flight to Gulfport.<\/p>\n\n\n

Time on the coast was, for the most part, okay. As I wrote yesterday, my body was really giving me issues by the end of the day on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tuesday morning we made it to Gulfport without any real issues. The folks at the screening there were okay. Being that it was a Tuesday morning, things were pretty slow.<\/p>\n\n\n

Until we got to Atlanta. Again. They wouldn’t pick me up from the gate. I really needed to use the restroom. After a bit of negotiating with the gate troll, I gave up, and ambled to the bathroom. After I finished, I just sat down to try and compose myself. My brother and his wife found me, and my SIL went and fetched me a chair. No airport staff helped. My brother pushed me through the airport to and from where we needed to go.<\/p>\n\n\n

Other takeaways?<\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve long been a big critic of the 737. Our last flight, from ATL to IAD, was a two-class 737. Compared to the CRJs we’d flown previously, it was incredibly comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n

Didn’t hit Waffle House. Just ran out of time. I’m also not sure what effect smothered, covered, chunked hash browns might have had on me.<\/p>\n\n\n

But it’s good to be home. And I got a full day of work in today, even though I hadn’t planned to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n

So to look forward to Thanksgiving, and a bit of a real break. Maybe. This coming weekend, it’s all about the move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
