Like a stick in my eye

That ash cloud is fast becoming the very bane of my existence. It's outpacing homework, laundry, weird weather, and too much daytime not enough night,
Trying to get a flight is like playing some cosmic guessing game, where the thing you have to guess changes for the lulz.
Are we on, are we off?
Call the airport and find out, yes.
See, thing is, the operation hours? Appear to be WHENEVER I AM NOT CALLING THEM. Because. When you've made 5 phone calls at staggered times and still the office is closed?
Sniff a conspiracy babe, because I do.
You'd think. Someone would make up their minds and stick with it. Take charge, stand up and say nonono, that is most dangerous, yes, that blasted cloud, so no one shall fly until. Er. Monday? Yes. Monday.
Which then fails because I know that they're trying to get things up and running as soon as safely possible, and there're loads of unfortunate sods stuck in the airport for days and days and days wanting to be off already, whereas my sister and I are in relative comfort. This does not make me feel anymore kindly towards the delays and insanity, unfortunately. Plus, this is accumulating expenses faster than a very large, sticky ball rolling around on a pile of cash.
Other than that, though, I've had a pretty good time of it. So. Yeah.
My plans are being foiled by an active volcano. A worthy adversary, at least.

timing, bitches.
