our terrible journey

i just got back from my trip across the pond, and although the flight over there was uneventful, it seems that we were to be severely annoyed on the way back. first our plane arrived in ireland an hour late. then we were delayed forty-five minutes due to a passenger getting stuck in customs and immigration only for him to decide that he wasn't coming with us. and then they had to sort through the luggage to find his bag. we had a two hour layover, so i was hoping we would make up some time in the air.
then there was an old man that was dizzy, or fainted, or something. so when we finally landed in chicago, we had to wait for the EMTs to come and get him off the plane. and although we were told on the plane that there would be people waiting to tell us our new connections, that was not correct. all the flights to denver were cancelled due to weather. then we had to wait in line for an hour only to be met by this incredibly bitchy lady named suzanne. she told us that she could get us on a flight the next denver tomorrow at 8:45 pm! here's how the conversation went:
"i have to be in denver tomorrow morning, that won't work"
"i can have you connect in iowa, but you have to change air lines" (as though i wanted to fly anymore with american)
"fine, as long as we get there in the morning"
" i can't guarantee anything due to weather"
"what if i miss work?"
"you chose to fly today" (yes i did choose to fly today, and i don't want to fly tomorrow)
and then she said, "we can give you a deal on a hotel room" i was so mad and annoyed at this point i really wanted to punch her. as though that made up for mess we were in all because they can't get their planes in on time.

the following morning we got up at 3am to stand in line at american for 45 minutes to be told we'd have to stand in line at united for our second boarding passes. an hour later (there was one person checking in everyone) united told us to get the boarding passes in iowa.
in iowa, the plane we were getting on was delayed an hour because the crew got in late last night and were sleepy. finally we reached denver at 10 am and i had just enough time to take a shower and have lunch before work. what a stinky end to an otherwise good trip.
