and no, not just quoting a great song, that is actually what I have been doing since last night…
To sum it up Reader’s Digest style…
I had a flight, Montgomery to Memphis to Boston.
That was canceled so I was moved to a Montgomery to Charlotte to Washington DC flight in hopes of getting me closer and then just taking Amtrak back to Boston so I could be here in order to work today in Burlington doing a rebuild on a live system.
Well, my DC flight from Charlotte was canceled, and with the likelihood of the 9:45 flight not going either so I could get my 5:30 train in Washington to Boston I needed to improvise…
Ned rented a one way rental to Boston!
So Ned drove all last night from Charlotte, NC back to Waltham.
almost exactly 13 hours.
2 stops for gas, which included food at one, and a pee break at another
3 stops to pee on top of those 2 stops for gas, and I grabbed food at the last pee stop.
I was a slightly nice person and gave a ride to 2 people who were stuck on their way home from Cancun and were stuck there because their flight back to Boston was canceled and they could not get a rental car to get home. Lucky me, they paid for gas, tolls and gave me a few bucks as a thank you, but I am going to expense tolls and gas anyway, not that it is a huge amount of money, but a nice little bonus as far as I am concerned.
Definitely an early to bed for sleep night tonight for me.
