This is not my first time in an airport, nor will it be my last. I wished I lived closer to one of these things, soley that I will never have to take the 2hr commute. Not that it makes a difference when you wait 5hrs in the airport itself before the four hour flight. I did not bother getting sleep last night; jetlag finds a way to me, it always does
Did you know that when a plane is delayed 3hrs the airport starts handing out food vouchers? That is right, here in Toronto the corporate machine has decided not to turn us all in the direction of the most expensive food of its kind in the country. Let us all give airports a nice round of applause.
I look at the employees. Their hours long shift is spent behind a counter. Every customer that comes through has no clue what they are doing. Once in a while there is a particularily irate old fart who wants the poor worker to get them through customs and in the air automatically. For the employees who only know their job and could not possibly predict the weather and how that affects flight times. This on top of the orders from their respective bosses (who also have limited knowledge). Poor employees get hit from both sides.
