Holidays


Today was the end of the first week of uni holidays. The plan was to be super productive this first week and then leave for Brisbane with Lindsey tonight. Well, the productivity of this week didn't really happen because I was busy dealing with some shit I'm not going to get into. After taking a couple days to deal, I finally did get things rolling again today, although I am about 1,000 words behind schedule. I left work early, came home, packed, and then Sam drove Lindsey and me to the airport.

We got there and tried to check-in at the kiosks, but it wasn't working, so we went to the ticketing counter and had the following conversation:
Ticketing agent: Well, girls, I can tell you why it wasn't working.
Us: Why?
TA: Your flight has already left.
Us: What? How is that possible?
TA: What time was your flight?
Lindsey: 6:35pm
TA: Well, take a look at your watch. What does it say?
Lindsey: 6:45pm...oh shit.

We then burst into laughter and the ticketing agent was very confused. This was in no way my fault, as I never knew when our flight actually was. Lindsey booked the whole thing and had all the tickets, I only asked her what time I needed to be ready to go to the airport. She is the most organized person I know, so it's especially funny that she fucked it up. Even though she knew our flight was at 6:35, somewhere in her head some wire got disconnected and so she had us there in time for a 7:35 flight. The next flight he could book us on was tomorrow at 3:55pm, which would've been pointless since we are only going to be there until Sunday morning. He then agreed to do something dodgy and checked us in for the first flight tomorrow morning, at 6am. He was nice enough to give us those instructions to ensure we wouldn't make the same mistake twice.

Needless to say, our week has gotten off to an interesting start. But after this week, things can only get better.
