(no subject)

My 2 hour layover just turned into a six hour layover. I paid $8 for internet, only to have my computer say, several minutes after purchase, that my battery life is going to be shorter now, so, I just have roughly 1.5 hours of computer time, unless I can find an outlet.

I may weep. Or sleep on the floor.

EDIT: I found an outlet. Now if only I could find a portal through time and space.

EDIT 2: It will now be seven hours instead of six. :-|

EDIT 3: $100 Southwest voucher and an apology for the extreme delay! I'm still exhausted and achy and really eager for a bed, but... now I can have another trip sometime this year on the cheap!

FIND OUTLET
OR SLEEP

I found an outlet, in a corner where I might be able to curl up on the floor if I so choose. Now I'm going to make a journal layout for you-know-what.

ahhhh omg omg yay :> ngl while I was out tonight, I was actually fantasising about how it might end up looking. so excited to see!

Oh gawd, that is the most frustrating thing. In my experience there usually are outlets somewhere in an airport - I see people using them quite often.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-24 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I found one! I had to give up my seat where I could prop my feet up to get the one with the outlet, but, it's in a corner with floor space that is free of trash, so I may really lie down on the floor later...

Well done!

I will keep my fingers crossed for the portal, but am glad you have the outlet in the meantime!

SO MUCH FAIL.

It's worse now, it's another hour.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I would think about it if I wasn't already kind of tipsy from sleeping just two and a half hours last night. Five am is not my friend. I'm just making use of my HBO Go and watching a movie.

[identity profile] stephen_fry.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm happy you found an outlet! Small miracles, I guess?

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I... yes. We'll say that so that I don't wind up crying, because it's now 7 hours instead of 6.

[identity profile] stephen_fry.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I am so, so sorry. That is the worst.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so close to just hopping on a plane going ANYWHERE, simply to get out of HERE. :P

[identity profile] stephen_fry.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. You might regret that when you end up in Qikiqtarjuaq.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
If they have beds and or a bathtub with hot running water... I might consider it!

Oh lord you poor thing :(

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
The good news: I got a $100 voucher, and thusly, Deana and I have almost fully decided that we're both going to come visit you and Dawn, if you'll have us. We're used to bunking together now, and we think we'd all have a marvelous time. :D

[identity profile] borntorun.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
UM YES PLEASE just as long as it's not in the first two weeks of september since we're going on a cruise and we'll have to pack before that but YES YES.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
We could work around that! :D

[identity profile] ghanima.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
HELL YES WE'LL HAVE YOU!!!

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yaaaay, we're fun and, we're not hassle guests. For example, we are presently just sitting in bed eating fruit salad and potato chips, watching the Ricky Gervais Show. :P

Maybe not thrilling guests...

[identity profile] ghanima.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay. I can have a shitload of fun just chilling and bullshitting. :D

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Woooo!

[identity profile] katling.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Urgh, I feel for you. It is a shame that they won't put you up in a room at the airport hotel so you could get some sleep and have a shower and whatnot. Air Asia did that for us (at a cushy 5 star hotel too, not even the airport hotel) for a 7.5 hour delay though I suppose domestic versus international does kick in here.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I would have LOVED that, oh my.

[identity profile] ganguly.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Jeez! Why so long?

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Maintenance delays" :(

[identity profile] helloworld.insanejournal.com 2012-05-25 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN. It's the worst.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I had fun, but, I've had a nice day today! :D

[identity profile] helloworld.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Did you hit up the airport bar?

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
No. This shows my lameness, but, at about hour three, I went to look at a terminal map, and the nearest thing with alcohol was 22 gates away, and I said fuck it, I'm going to eat a pizza and watch HBO Go. >.>

[identity profile] helloworld.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ouch. I probably would've done the same.

That or maybe if a duty-free shop was near, gotten my booze from there.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't even think of that!!! You're smart, lady.

[identity profile] helloworld.insanejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Next time!

Although hopefully there isn't a next time.

Dear lord I hope not. :-|
