No getting comfortable, no getting sleep, just burning, painful pressure. It was bad enough that the over-the-counter stuff barely even put a dent in it. At least my wife's family was cool about it and didn't give me any grief about skipping all the festivities - I just hid in the hotel. I have a reasonably high pain threshold, but bad sinus infections just knock my dick in the dirt.
Then, on the way back, the flight was delayed because of shitty weather in Chicago. We sat on the tarmak for 3 1/2 hours before taking off, and there was a screaming brat two rows behind me. THEN the plane had to return to the gate to refuel. THEN the joy of the flight itself.
God, what a horrible weekend that was.  |
Oh yeah, I sat in a plane on Saturday for 30, 45 minutes before they realized that they didn't have any pilots and made us all get off. Who knew? You need pilots?
