monday at heathrow

1:30. I didn’t make the 10:55 A to Boston. Mine was the first name they called after the damn plane departed. I am confirmed on the 6 PM flight tomorrow and standby for the 6 PM flight tonight, though the chances of me getting on the 6 flight are nearly impossible, so says the desk agent. Problem is, if I try for the 6 PM flight, I will have to go through security again to get back into the airport if I don’t make it. Except they won’t let me through security until tomorrow, since that is when my next boarding pass is for.
Another call to National and I have an assurance that if I don’t get on the flight to Boston tonight that they will try to get me a hotel room and pay for it. Oh god. This can get worse, but I do not want to know how.
