Air France tilts me |
|
1 | |
Oh god, trying to do internet check in on Air France is just godawful... The main page can't even load properly. I hate Air France.
Twice a year there are 2 major TV conferences in Cannes that three of us from our company go for. This year my boss asks me, "how many of us should go?"
I give this long explanation of our company's aims and resources and conclude, "just one. You. 'cos you're the boss."
And he says, "I don't really want to go. You go."
And I have to go. 'cos he's the boss.
So in 5 hours I'm going to be stuck on one of Air France's crappy planes for like 12 hours or something to fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport. I'll be stuck in Charles de Gaulle Airport for SIX HOURS from 6am to 1240pm on a Sunday morning. That airport sucks. I'm seriously thinking that I should take a train into town and ATTEND MASS because there is BLOODY NOTHING TO DO in Charles de Gaulle Airport.
And I bet it's going to be fish or chicken on the flight. It is always bloody fish or chicken every single time I go, cooked in exactly the same way. Why can't they change the menu? Why can't they improve the quality so I don't stare in disgust at fish ala crap and refuse to let any of it pass my lips? They're French, right? They cook well, right?
Then after the stopover it's another flight to Nice, whose airport is anything but nice, and then a bus to Cannes. Then an UPHILL WALK with my luggage to the hotel in the middle of nowhere because there was only one room in one hotel near the conference venue in town available, and its bathroom was out of order.
And there is bloody NOTHING TO DO in Cannes when I don't have meetings. I've requested a Pokertrack reg no. for my laptop. I'm going to sit in my room playing poker for half of Wednesday, half of Thursday and the whole of Friday until my eyes bleed and my wrist cracks. That is, if the internet is working because it wasn't the last time I was there.
Oh, this is all I need after throwing sheep shit at orchids in the rain.
Thanks for reading. I feel better now. Bet I'll feel bloody awful in 5 hours time, though.

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had? | |

Where are the girls???!!!! Everytime I go to the beaches they're filled with fat retired Brits =( Cannes is so expensive I can't do anything =( Maybe if I run really hot I might be able to afford a martini. |
