I am currently sitting in the Atlanta Airport. It is 6:52 am. Yesterday at 4:30 am I left my house near Boston to travel to Minneapolis. Walking out of my house I sprained my ankle. Needless to say I was a bit late getting to the airport. After hobbling to the airport from the Economy lot (because the closer parking was under construction), I would have still made the flight because I checked in from home. Unfortunately the security line was miles long and I missed it. So then I sat at the gate – too injured to go home – propping up my foot (in the only part of Logan without ice) until 7 pm. But my flight to Atlanta was delayed so I missed my connector to Minneapolis. They did put us up at a hotel where I got 4 hours sleep only to return to the airport and wait standby this morning. The conference I am going to is only 4 days long and I have spent one entire day trying to get there. I have rescheduled my pick up 4 times. And I am mostly wondering why you have to go to Atlanta to get to Minnesota anyway.

Unfortunately you have to go to the hub. That's why I only fly direct flights.
It is called the "hub and spoke" system….look it up. If an airline could make money flying non-stop from Knoxville to London, they'd do it. Otherwise, you go through hubs.
Cause Atlanta is the bomb.
Wait a minute. You sprained your ankle and went to the airport anyway? GOOD for YOU!! You are not the typical American Wuss!!
whether you go to heaven or hell, you are going through Atlanta
Your first problem is you went to Minneapolis. You're supposed to have conferences at NICE places.
Festerdun, I choked on that bit of humour.
Well done.
