Just got plane tix home for December/January. Flying Jet Blue, which goes direct into New York so I won't get stranded in Chicago. Again. Better to be stranded in New York, at any rate.
It's forever until December.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Every trip that's had some sort of travel trauma (including not travelling afterall) has involved Chicago. I flat out won't fly through there anymore.

I'm pretty sure that O'Hare was built on top of a Hellmouth, or possibly a sacred Indian burial ground.

That doesn't explain Midway. Last time a flew through there, it was on the flight number that a month later skidded off the runway during a landing.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I blamed all my hellmouthy experiences flying through Chicago earlier this year on American Airlines' customer service/lost baggage people. I'm convinced they're an arm of Wolfram & Hart, only I haven't made up my mind whether they're hellishly incompetent or diabolically good at TORTURE.

My brother yesterday just sent me a news article about his usual flight from Moscow to DC - which was delayed earlier this week by 54 hours.
He wasn't on it thankfully, though he's actually been through worse.

I've never had trouble tranferring through Chicago, or going in or out -- it's Atlanta that is my bete noirport.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Atlanta and I are pretty good friends at this point.
O'Hare and I are not friends. We're like coworkers who really don't like each other, but are forced to interact, but occasionally one of them (O'Hare) does something to sabotage the other (me).

O'Hare = evil. Though the light tube tunnel can be amusing for like a nanosecond.

This is my question, too. Dear work, I am attending a loud concert filled with power chords and flame pots tonight. I. Don't. Care. about revision marks right now.
