Losers log update:I arrive 30 minutes after my flight to Ogden departs. My loserdom is in full force. I depart the plane happy due to the fact the flight attendant was pouring the wine down my throat. Bless her heart. I exit the plane feeling good and head to the nearest set of reps that can help me on my way. I stand in line and draw a short woman about four foot ten maybe. Beautiful smile. I love people that love life. It was apparent she had an awesome affair with the turbulence of life. She tells me she can get me there tomorrow night around the time I was to arrive tonight. Oh no maam. My bosses would bleed out in the brain if I flew around the country and did nothing to further the job. The company Im going to visit is shutting down their power to do some maintenance to their system. I have two very capable welders that could have gone and sewed up the offending weld leak. one is sitting at the house with burnt eyes. The other is up in Wisconsin/Minnesota making sure our high profile customer is well taken care of. This leaves me. David Lomas, Field Services Manager to save the day in Ogden, Utah. My biggest strength is the gift of gab. The man in Utah and I are well acquainted with each other and we have a good relationship. He knows it wont take long. But I only have the window of Saturday to accomplish my goal. The lady returns and tells me she is sending me to Atlanta and from there I will board at seven and arrive by nine. Would that work? Well yes maam. As long as my bags get there I am good. She smiles and says. Im hoping your bags make it sir. I arrive Atlanta Airport after riding with the common people of coach. I didnt even get a beverage on this flight. I go towards baggage just to see if mine was on the carousel. Nope. I open the laptop and log onto IHG dot com to find a room for the night. Everything close is booked up. I finally find one 13 miles away. I call the jackwagon behind the counter to reserve a room. He wants my name. I give it to him. I spell it for him. Numerous times. I tell him to use my rewards number snd it will populate the form. He says ok and again asks my name. My patience is gone. I agitatedly tell him never mind. I look at the other prospects. None... I log on and in less than a minute I have the room reserved. Now I just need a ride. I exit the airport and there are no taxis. I ask and am directed around the corner. There is red carpet that I have to use to go to my cab. I give him the address and he in broken English tells me he knows where I am going. I get into Crooked Cab Companys back seat and quickly enter my destination in my phones navigation. It tells me 10 miles down the interstate. He starts to take exit 71 instead of 61. I tell him my nav says go further down the road. Oh no! This is the way to go. I tell him my phone will show me where all you go. If we end up the same place this thing is telling me where to go I will jump out and run and not pay you. He looks at me. Ok. We go your way. Bless his heart... Now I bum a tooth brush and tooth paste from the front desk. I have no luggage... Losers weekend is in full force...
