Week 42 - Monday 11/09/00

I just knew it. I did, honest. From the moment I woke, I just knew it. What did I know. I knew the day would be a complete and unmitigated disaster. <ol> <li>The flight was delayed from East Midlands to Amsterdam, though Fog at Amsterdam.</li> <li>The original delay was delayed. I now checked into the next flight and asked for my luggage to be checked through to Prague. That was done.</li> <li>Arrive in Amsterdam, 2hours 15 minutes late. Thankfully, my flight out has also been delayed. I have my KLM card loaded, I haven't mentioned this before but I have just gone silver with KLM.</li> <li>I am assisting this poor person who is trying to get to Gothenburg. His flight left on time from Amsterdam, the next is at 14:00. He checks in and we go to the KLM lounge. He makes some calls and I here an announcement about Gothenburg. He checks it out to discover his flight is cancelled. He threatens to go home. I hope it works out for him .</li> <li>I arrive in Prague. You have guessed it, no luggage. It is in Amsterdam, I find out having queued for 30 minutes. Will be here (airport) at 9pm. We will send to your hotel. I bet I do not see it today.</li> <li>I eventually arrive at work several hours late.</li> <li>Finally I check into my hotel. Take a dump and go back to lounge. I am sitting typing this and e-mail, when in come a load ( what is the collective noun - suggestions please) of loud American women and one poor man. Good help us. I decide I am going to take three beers to bed and say good by to today!</li> </ol>
