Another day. Another dollar. Another hotel.

   Well here I sit on another hotel bed at 90$ a night.  I haven't changed my clothes since yesterday morning when I dressed comfortably for a long haul. I must have foreseen this much extended trip... maybe I have ESP? No, I think the fates decided to give me a break... possibly... and made me think to wear flamboyantly colorful and comfortable clothes. However, with every stare at my crazy patterned skirt, clunky boots, messed hair and excessive baggage, I feel more and more like digging a pit for me to jump into. Normally I wouldn't mind stares, but today I just want to get on my dang plane and get my biznass done! For shiz yo- I do. Yes, that's Chicago speaking through me- scary how quick it happens eh? Anyways, I'd like to change clothes, that's my point. I'd also like to have a stiff drink too, but I'll wait on that... somehow drinking before 5 and drinking alone seem to add up to me drunk-dialing people long distance or crying in the bathtub, or both simultaneously. I better wait till after 5, at least then I'll be able to hit the sack by 9 and save my hotel bill and deaf-eared friends from a sorry mess. 

    As far as the real news goes, i.e. not my poor me banter, I obviously did not get a seat today on the only flight to S. Korea that Korean Air has today. Wait, let me modify that, 'everyday'. Korean Air only has one flippin' flight to Korea (um, it's one and only destination it connects to) everyday at 12:20 PM.  The purpose of them having a whole six window counter area at the international airport-terminal 5, and having 20 plus people working at the counter for only one flight a day is well beyond me. Dare I say even Einstein might think 'wtf?'  So, conclusively I didn't get a seat and am staying at a different hotel closer to O'Hare.  I should mention that the people working were awesome! They tried every which way to connect me through other airlines to different cities to other Korean Air flights, and have now labeled me 'top priority' for tomorrow's flight.  So they really did the best they could, it is not them I am angered at. What angered me was the fact that I missed my flight yesterday via my own flippancy, that there's only one flight a day from Korean Airlines, and that I'm stuck waiting again in another hotel for another day with more money I don't have. Amazing how karma works. I don't know who I killed in my past life, but they must have been good people. Can I just say that I'm sorry? I'm not sure how karma works, but it'd be real nice if it was forgiving. Well, I've rambled enough for now, hopefully the next time I blog it will be out of this country! 

Peace, love and the best of karma-
