Ugh. I hate flying and I’ve never even missed a flight. (Missed a connection once in Chicago, but that was weather’s fault, not mine, so the airline did everything they could to put us on their very next flight back to LAX - and I was still stressed out despite the fact that this happens to people all the time.) I can’t imagine what it would be like to fly standby as often as you seem to end up doing it. You’re a trooper!

As for cell phones on vibrate, that’s also a rather useless function when you’re a woman wearing an outfit with no discernible pockets, and therefore have to carry your cell phone in your purse. You can’t feel a purse vibrate. Thus, I have to make sure to never get separated from my wife immediately after church or a movie, because she’ll leave the thing on vibrate in her purse and I’ll have absolutely no way of contacting her.

But you’d be surprised how noisy a vibrating cell phone can be if left on the right surface.

I’m still stuck on the fact that you employed the word “yack” just now.

ha ha!

Glad you made it home, Shaun. I missed a flight out O’Hare once and spent my 8+ hours there wandering around and napping at empty gates. Not too bad.

I made it! I spent more time in the airport yesterday than I would have spent in a car had I just driven home from North Carolina.

I definitely need a road manager - or someone - anyone - on the road with me. We’re all human. We make mistakes. But two humans together? Odds are good that while one is being a human setting their alarm to vibrate, the other is setting theirs to ring. Two alarms are better than one.

Now, back to my day off.

Hmmm seems like you have quite the airport experience. do you know how many times you’ve missed a flight in your career?

You definitely need a road manager that actually manages you while on the road… I’ll have to get right on that.

Phone alarm on vibrate? Welcome to the club.
