25 Dollars and 25 Minutes

So I decided that I wanted to get up to Boston a bit earlier, so I tried to go standby on an earlier shuttle flight. But no! If there's a way to squeeze another dollar out of you, they will. So I could go on the earlier flight, but it would cost me an additional $25. I was at the airport really early for my original flight, so I just went ahead and paid for it.

I go through security, get to the gate, and then find out that my flight is 25 minutes late. So I just paid $25 dollars to catch a shuttle flight ONE hour early and then I find out that it's 25 minutes late. And actually, by the time we took off, we were about 35 minutes late.

Oh, and to add insult to injury, my bag didn't make it on my flight. I'm here for one fricken day and because of the new travel restrictions I have to check my bag. So I paid $25 dollars to get to Boston to 25 minutes early, and then my bag doesn't show up so it was all for naught.

And I know what you're thinking. $25. Get over it. But it's the principle of the thing.

Oh, and it's rainy and like 56 degrees up here in Boston. Hello, isn't it still August? WTF?
