Crazy Flying

OK so as some of you know I flew home for Easter. I know some of you are thinking I was in Mission and you never saw me, I am sorry for that. I had little time and instead of running around like crazy trying to visit everyone. I just didn't visit anyone. So Because I waited so long to book my flight it got really expensive so my roommate who works for westjet gave me buddy passes. That way I could pay alot less and fly stand by. So I decided I would try and get home on the 10:25 flight on Thurs night even though I knew it was going to be very full. So I went to the airport and I got there early and waited because as stand by you can only check in three hours early. So I checked in right at 7:25 but I am told there are three seats open and I am third on the list and there is one more person who wants to be on this flight and I am thinking great because if it's a staff person I will get bumped. So I got my stand by boarding pass and went and ate and worked on my comp. At 9:45 they paged me and told me that they had no seat for me but I can wait until the very end if I want so I was like ok. So at about 10:08 they finish boarding the plane. The westjet girls tell me that there is one more person left to check in and if he doesn't by 10:15 I get his spot so I was sitting there hoping he doesn't show up. At 10:12 he checked in. Then the guy gets to the gate and it's clear that he's been drinking and the one westjet guy is questioning him and I am thinking don't let him on. I know how nice of me but I really wanted on the plane. But they let him on but I have still one hope a guy making a connection from a Air Canada flight suppose to be arrivng at 10:15. At 10:24 they gave me his spot. So I got to Fly home YAH!! I felt like a dork getting on the plane because everyong else had been on it for 15mins and I am sure lots of them saw me at the gate before boarding so I am sure they were thinking what took this girl so long to get one. Anyways that's it for now.
