How much can one non-frequent flyer take?

by

Ok, so you see, I am not complaining, let’s get that out there, free and clear.  I was able to get a buddy pass in which to fly to Chicago for a conference.  All was well, I showed up, knowing that I as flying standby and it was a big IF as to whether I would get on the flight or not.  And, I got on, first flight, right on the plane and off to Chicago I went.

So, fast forward to the conference ending and now I am sitting in the airport, almost a week later and I’ve been on stand by since yesterday morning at 5:40  I mean, come on, if you are god enough to get to the airport at 5:40, surely there won’t be so many people that you have to wait til the next flight right?

WRONG!  I couldn’t be more wrong.  A day later and an entire afternoon spent sitting and it doesn’t appear that I’ll get on this 4:15 flight either.  So, when does one lose her patience?  I mean, it was free.  When does one lose her sanity?  I mean, I knew it could happen.  When, just when does one go bizerk sitting in a wheel chair in an airport at the mercy of whoever feels compelled to push me around.  And, when does one just lost her sense of being because her bladder is tempting fate.  Yea, get on a plane when you already have to piss like a racehorse and then what? 

Wait some more…hold it some more.  Then what?
