I got picked to be part of the training team for the new call centre in Costa Rica at a time when I needed to get away. I recall my boss calling me into her office, asking me to close the door all the time having a serious look on her face. Immediately I thought either she was quitting or I was being let go. That's how serious the look was.
Anyway she advised me that I was the only person from Canada selected and she wanted to know if I had any objections. Objections????? The chance to do what I love doing, training...and in Costa Rica. Why would I have any objections?
I said yes I would go and plans were made. At first I couldn't get into the hotel where the other US trainers were staying however with Chrissy's help I did find a beautiful hotel which was even closer to the office. Two days before flying out I was told they had a space at the Intercontinental for me. I didn't object considering the room rates start at $280 and way up.
I ordered a cab to pick me up at 6:15 Saturday morning since my flight was at 9:00 a.m. The cab came at 6 a.m. I was ready anyway so I decided to leave. Got to airport, checked in, no problem. Got to the gate area and kept hearing about various flights being cancelled. Oh Lord, please don't let my flight be cancelled. Boarding time for my flight was 8:20 a.m. 8:20 a.m. came, 8:20 a.m. left...no announcement regarding my flight. OK. God knows best. Besides my sweetie prayed with me before I left, my mom prayed, Sweetssop called me while I was on the way to pray, (H)AnnA(H) prayed. Nothing will go wrong.
9:00 a.m. I'm looking out at the snowplows cleaning the runaway. Still no announcement about my flight. OK. No announcement means the flight is not cancelled. So I'll just relax and wait. Afterall I don't want the plane slipping and sliding all over the runway.
