Mississippi State vs Georgia Men’s CBB
Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day! (Jan. 21st)
Took the “kids” back home on the way to the airport on Friday. Always an adventure! Mainly, capturing them to get them in their crate. Then getting all their accessories loaded up into the car and then back out of the car once we get to their house.
But it’s worth every second! They are the best!
Flight to Atlanta was fine. I slept the entire way.
The drive to Athens went by quickly as I talked on the phone the entire time. As usual, there was traffic, so the 1.5 hour drive took at least 2.
After checking into the hotel, I decided to walk a few blocks to have an early dinner. I didn’t have lunch and I was starving.
So I set out to Pauley’s – which is a crepe place.
I have been there a couple times and am in love with the Buffalo Chicken Crepe.
Tonight, I fell out of love. It wasn’t’ as good as it was the other times. Maybe it’s cuz I wasn’t there with my SEC Family? I dunno. Just didn’t taste as good.
Got back to the hotel and worked on some stuff for a while and watched TV.
Was asleep by 10:30p.
Woke up at 1:30a and could not go back to sleep.
The heater was driving me insane as it turned on/off constantly. It wasn’t too hot, it was just smothering in there. Ugh!
Finally at 4:55a I decided to get up and take a shower.
That did the trick. Was able to sleep from 5:15 to 7:15a!
Then got up and started the day.
Went to this organic place I have been to before for breakfast.
Never again.
It’s really good, but the staff is just plain rude. I thought it was an isolated incident last time. Nope. Still rude.
Headed over to the arena.
I have never done basketball here.
Just swimming/diving and football. Maybe Gymnastics? Maybe volleyball? Never hoops though.
The day went really well!
I was on my football truck and got to also see my friend Jill.
For lunch, I tried to go to The Last Resort – but the line was out the door. So I drove until I could find a parking spot (easier said than done in downtown Athens). Ended up eating at Five Guys.
After the game, I made the drive back to Atlanta which is never fun. The majority of the drive is on this road that has tons of traffic. You will be going 65 and then out of nowhere, you have to slam on the breaks and go 20 for a few miles. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It’s very frustrating!
Had a snack in the SkyClub and headed to the gate.
Boarded and was just settling in when I realized there was ‘something’ going on. We were not going to depart on time. The guy next to me was all frigidity and driving me nuts! I had convinced myself he had to be a terrorist.
The captain informed us that they were looking for a piece of paper. The plane had come in from the Bahamas and was supposed to have a TSA mandated security sweep. However, the piece of paper proving the sweep had been done, was no where to be found.
Time passed.
The gate agent came on the plane and announced that they still could not find the document. Due to a shift change, they were not able to reach the supervisor that was present for the alleged security sweep that had allegedly take place. Therefore, we had to deplane so they could do a new security sweep.
This went over really well with the passengers.
I was like the 5th person off the plane. I had walked towards the left of the gate area to sit against a wall (on the floor) so I could stretch out a little. A Delta “Red Coat” (supervisor) started screaming at me that I had to sit to in a chair to the right of the jetbridge. I yelled back and it really did no good. So out of spite, I walked about 2 feet to the right of the gate, stopped, looked at her and plopped down on the floor. Very mature of me.
She kept yelling at everyone that we had to stay in the gate area since it was “sterile”. No one could leave the gate area because they would become un-sterile.
Oh dear god, how is this person a supervisor?
ALL OF THE AIRPORT (past security) is sterile you idiot!!
Several other of the Red Coats told her this and eventually she was convinced so she started to let people go to the bathroom.
It was quite the scene.
After about 40 minutes, they let us board the plane.
Landed in Columbus about 1 hour late.
I can’t wait to fill out the post flight survey for this flight!
(Delta emails me surveys for almost every flight I take)
