Lost Luggage.....

So, last weekend I'm in Colorado Springs for a Local Chapter Officer Summit for HDI (formerly the Help Desk Institute). I am a member of this awesome organization and they have taught me everything I know about running a Help Desk (more about this later). I had a flight on Sunday from Denver to Oakland that was delayed, delayed, delayed. (Thanks UNITED!!!). My plane finally took off at 11pm from Denver and we arrived (yawn) at 12:45am Monday. Lucky me. By the time the baggage carousal finally stopped, it was 1:30am. No luggage for me. For the average person, this might be a slight inconvenience as they probably have many other clothes at home to wear. I....do not. I buy so few clothes per size now (until I hit my goal weight) that ALL OF MY CLOTHES were in there!!!! The nice lady at the baggage claim rushed through my paperwork and assured me I'd get it later that same morning. I was exhausted so grabbed the bus back to the parking garage and headed home. Head hit the pillow: 3:00am. Head woke up from the pillow: 5:30am. Needless to say, work was a CHALLENGE on Monday!!! ANYWAY......I tracked my luggage all day Monday and it was enjoying a fine stay in the lovely city of Denver. Tuesday comes and I'm wearing....the same clothes again. Two days now, same outfit. (YES, I washed it!!). FINALLY on Tuesday NIGHT, as I waited patiently outside my work, I got my luggage. Slightly rifled through, but it was all there. Note to self: CARRY ON!!! PS I fly UNITED back to Colorado Springs on Sunday. Wish me luck.
