Missed Plane, No Money - What Not to Do on a Business Trip

It was finally time to go home - my boss and I were so excited! Spending the last couple of
weeks together was really getting on our nerves and the irritation cracks were starting to
appear. Not only that, we both had no money left.


You might ask how this could happen? Overseas on a business trip and you both have no
money? Factory Unlock iPhone 4! Truth be told, I have no idea how this came to be. There
were some contributing factors, like I didn't get paid enough and had been relying on my
boss to front all the bills. Oh, and I had just purchased this really awesome expensive
camcorder! Why my boss was broke I put down to bad budgeting, and he had just bought a
new amazing camcorder too.


Scraping our shrapnel together, we concluded there was enough funds to get us on the
monorail, but only to the second stop just before the Airport. We were going to have to wing
it.


Loaded up with our luggage, we walked to the monorail station and purchased a ticket to as
close to the airport as possible. We nervously planned to fast talk some tale to get us on the
other side of the gates and pumped ourselves up for the confrontation. Fortunately, there
was no guard and the gate was wide open - We were home free!


Getting to the Singapore Airlines Factory Unlock iPhone 4 counter, chuckling over our narrow
escape, we smile at the check-in lady and hand over our itineraries... to which she politely
informs us that our 12am red-eye flight had departed the night before.


Now if you can imagine, as she gave us the news that made time stop, the lights behind her
got really bright forcing me to squint, her voice took on a low, demonic tone, and I swear I felt
something pop in my left ear. I did a slow motion turn to my boss and found that he had
already cleared a space behind us. I watched in horror as he proceeded to jump up and
down, arms and knees high in the air, fist clenched, repeatedly chanting 'FUCK FUCK FUCK
FUCK FUCK FUCK!'


A Singapore Airline customer care rep came over to see what was causing such a
commotion. Realising that my boss was in no shape to communicate, I pulled myself together
and explained our epic fail as calmly, yet desperately, as I could.


I don't know if it was my boss's chanting or the fact that I had broken out in hives, but the
customer care rep took Factory Unlock iPhone 4 great pity on us and kindly informed us that
they were willing to waive any fees and put us on tonights red-eye flight.


Plug - I LOVE Singapore Airlines.
We flew in silence, exhausted and grateful to be on our way home. We'd work out how to get
home from the airport without any cash or credit later.
