Lesson 13 Key Conversation The Day I've Been Having

You wouldn't believe the day I've been having. First of all, there was some kind of emergency at LAX, so my initial flight was delayed by more than an hour and a half on the tarmac.

So, by the time I got here to O'Hare, my connecting flight was already preparing to take off. Suffice to say, I missed my flight out of Chicago and had to check in again for a new boarding pass.

And just my luck, all of the flights today are overbooked except for a red-eye that will put me in London at 4 a.m. tomorrow, just three hours before I'm supposed to do my presentation.

Oh well. At least they bumped me up to executive class because the economy and business were already full. At least now I can get some shut eye during the flight.
