Vicky's Journal

So tired...
I haven't posted in too long, sorry.

I got back from Otakon last night. The weekend was freakin awesome. I met so many cool people, got an autograph from one of my favorite voice actors, cosplayed, bought fun stuff, and geeked it up. Oh man am I an ubergeek, but it was so fun!

My flight almost got cancelled last night though, because flights to the north were getting cancelled and delayed, which in turn caused mine to delay. When the aircraft finally arrived, the gate clerk was like, "okay guys we need to get on really fast because if the plane is not airborne by 7:08, it will be cancelled." Oh snap. But things ended up going off without a hitch.

The one complaint I have is about people. This poor gate attendant was doing the job of like 4 different people because they were short staffed. A flight to Boston got cancelled and people were pissed. Yes, it's frustrating when your flight gets cancelled. But I don't understand why people get so angry at the airline. They cancelled the flight because of weather! Do you really want to get on a plane and crash because you have to fly through a thunderstorm? Airlines don't find it fun to cancel flights, but they have to put passenger safety as the number one priority. The guy was super nice about everything and he did his best, but people were still all angry and upset with him. Instead of giving yourself a stress headache over things that can't be controlled, be thankful that you'll live to see that later flight you have to take. Your work can live without you for a day.

Another couple got mad at the guy because their flight had been delayed and they decided to saunter around the airport...for hours. Dude, seriously, common sense. If your flight is delayed, never go far for long! Sometimes planes are able to get out sooner than they expect. I'm not saying sit around for hours, but don't go dawdling around the airport for hours at a time without checking back every 15-20 minutes.

Blah.

So anyway, I had also been feeling kind of bad about my birds lately. I have a lot of them, but they are small and I'm able to take care of them all. People kind of made me feel like I have too many. But I have supportive people who love me who encourage my hobbies, no matter how many live animals I have nor how much I sew.

...or how nerdy I get.
