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

[girlnumber20.insanejournal.com]

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.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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...

[girlnumber20.insanejournal.com]

Well done!

[zigazigah.insanejournal.com]

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

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

ty, bb ♥

[acejillian.insanejournal.com]

SO MUCH FAIL.

[stephen_fry.insanejournal.com]

I'm happy you found an outlet! Small miracles, I guess?

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

I... yes. We'll say that so that I don't wind up crying, because it's now 7 hours instead of 6.

[stephen_fry.insanejournal.com]

I am so, so sorry. That is the worst.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

I'm so close to just hopping on a plane going ANYWHERE, simply to get out of HERE. :P

[stephen_fry.insanejournal.com]

LOL. You might regret that when you end up in Qikiqtarjuaq.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

If they have beds and or a bathtub with hot running water... I might consider it!

[acejillian.insanejournal.com]

Drinks?

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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.

[borntorun.insanejournal.com]

Oh lord you poor thing :(

[katling.insanejournal.com]

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.

[ganguly.insanejournal.com]

Jeez! Why so long?

[chthonian.insanejournal.com]

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!

[helloworld.insanejournal.com]

I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN. It's the worst.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

I would have LOVED that, oh my.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

"Maintenance delays" :(

[borntorun.insanejournal.com]

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.

[ghanima.insanejournal.com]

HELL YES WE'LL HAVE YOU!!!

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

I can't say I had fun, but, I've had a nice day today! :D

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

We could work around that! :D

[helloworld.insanejournal.com]

Did you hit up the airport bar?

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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...

[ghanima.insanejournal.com]

That's okay. I can have a shitload of fun just chilling and bullshitting. :D

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

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. >.>

[helloworld.insanejournal.com]

Ouch. I probably would've done the same.

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

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

I didn't even think of that!!! You're smart, lady.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

Woooo!

[helloworld.insanejournal.com]

Next time!

Although hopefully there isn't a next time.

[igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com]

Dear lord I hope not. :-|
