So I'm in Pittsburgh right now. My flight left Long Beach at 10:20am, and our plane landed at 9:15pm Eastern time. That's technically about 11 hours of my life that have disappeared. Luckily for me, I checked out my intinerary before heading out, because I thought my flight was leaving from Los Angeles. It would have been a pretty funny story if I was looking for my Long Beach flight at LAX.
So when I'm on the plane, I realize that I had given Dave my driver's license to hold when we went to the Sunset Room, because my pants didn't have a pocket. And I forgot to ask for it back.
So when I went to the car rental place, and they asked for my drivers license, I gave them my state ID. And the guy said, 'I need your driver's license.' Then I sheepishly told him, 'Um, I forgot it at home.' Then Mr. Manager, who is standing within hearing distance, says, 'I'm sorry, but we need a valid driver's license.' I then told them that I have my driver's license number, but no go, they said that they wouldn't know if I had it revoked or something. No matter what I tried, I couldn't rent a car. Hmph.
So then I had to take the shuttle to my hotel, and I'm left to be taxiied around Pittsburgh.
Oh, and since I made my reservations last minute, there's only smoking rooms left. So it stanks in here. Stank-o-licious!
I don't know if this is representative of how exciting it is here in Pittsburgh, but one of the top news stories is how a duckling was bludgeoned to death by a 10 year old boy. Um...ok.
Sucks to be me. Argh!!!

Posted by: Noelle on May 25, 2004 08:52 AMit doesn't suck to be you, but i think the driver's license thing is pretty funny.
let's see, you're in pittsburgh? philly isn't that far away, right? there should be a place everyone looks up there called Gino's Cheesesteaks or something like that. ask a pennysylvanian about it, they'll probably know what i'm talking about. people keep calling my job and looking for it, saying the food there is really, REALLY good.

seeing how i haven't written up my bay city memoirs yet (even though it's been well over a year), i can tell you something pretty funny that happened to me (well, funny in retrospect. not funny at the time).
having been to ireland, the philippines, and japan, you'd think that i would've remembered to bring my passport, or at least my birth certificate, right?
wrong.
i actually left everything at home, except my drivers' license. when i got to the border, they almost sent me back home. which would've sucked some major ass. i suppose that looking pretty damn tired and the fact that it was 3:30 in the morning that made them pity me.
but, we all know how the happy story ends, right? ;D
