The Dark Side of Business Travel The current gig I'm on is quite fun, mainly because I'm doing it with a bunch of co-workers and we get to write code all day. The downside of it is we have to fly out to the client site every other week. The traveling isn't too bad because we're all good friends, and traveling with good friends is quite a bit of fun. Today, the "fun" part of it is getting stretched.

We're flying back to DC this week, and Jim picked me up from my house at 11:30 this morning. We headed to DIA for a 1:30pm flight. When we arrived, we discovered our flight wasn't leaving until 4:30pm.

At 4:30, United cancelled the flight.

We're still at DIA, scheduled to leave on an 11:40pm flight for Orlando. We get into Orlando at 5:00am, then jump on a flight to DC, arriving at 8:00am. Ugh.

Should be an interesting day tomorrow. Our current plan is to grab a few hours of sleep when we get there and show up at the client shortly after noon. As for the Wednesday night Tech Meetup, we're still planning on Brickskeller, but are open to other suggestions. Posted in General at Jul 09 2006, 11:04:47 PM MDT 3 Comments
