In related news, i'm still taxiing on a plane that was supposed to take off 2 hours and 20 minutes ago.
the good news, they're (obviously) letting us use our cell phones while we wait for 50 more planes to take off. Also, I don't have any friends waiting to pick ne up at the airport.
-thankfully i'm on jetblue so i'm watching the Colbert Report while I type to kill time.

**********UPDATE:*********
To top the best flight ever off, because I needed to pay to get my car out of the parking lot, I discovered my wallet was lost/stolen, along with my prescription sunglasses. I had to call the ever-valiant Surlyclown to come pay them so I could drive home. best flight ever. Also, my Social Security card was in there. So that's just fucking awesome.
**************ANOTHER UPDATE************
Actually, this one is good news. Got a call from Jetblue this morning and the cleaning crew did find my wallet on the flight last night. This is fabulously great, as it means that it was not stolen and I don't have to replace everything, but I must admit I'm a little pissed. I noticed it was missing right after I came off the plane, and I asked the guy from the cleaning crew there to look for me since I wasn't allowed back on the plane. When he said he 'didn't find nothing', I re-searched myself and asked that they look one more time before I walk away, and asked if I could wait to see if the cleaning crew found anything on their full look through the plane, and was told they'd already looked through it.
I'm really happy that the cleaning crew did in fact find the wallet in their sweep, but It bugs the shit out of me that this guy wouldn't let me really talk to them and lied to me about them being done just to get rid of me. To save himself that one little inconvenience, he inconvenienced me and about 4 other people in the process very late at night and caused quite a bit of un-needed panic. I'll forget about it as soon as I actually have my wallet back in hand, but I'm still quite pissed off.
