What a day

So, today we had quite the day. They were working on some plumbing issue in the apartment, so we had no water. Dray and I decided to stay out all day, and we took Sean to school, and proceeded to spend what we thought would be a nice day, just the two of us.

Boy were we wrong.

I'm so glad Dray's mind works the way it does. He called to find out if the guy he shares the working responsibilities for a client with was back from Africa. He went to visit his family (or was it to go to the world cup?).

Well, it turns out that he missed his flight. Really? I'm very suspicious about that. How is it that you miss your flight back to America when you have to cross Africa (continent #1) then Europe (continent #2) to get back to the United States (located on continent #3 in this question)?!

Hmmmmm.....

So, Dray is working with this client, according to the mother, for at least today (Monday), and tomorrow. I predict Dray will be working the week, because I cannot imagine that it is easy to get a flight out of Africa right now, due to all the incoming and outgoing traffic from the World Cup (I know it's in South Africa, and this guy is from Ghana, but, still....come on, now). Also, he's got to realign his connecting flights from Africa to Europe to the United States. I don't think that will be an easy task. Not because it's unheard of - international flights go on daily and hourly - but because of the logistics. That's three continents you have to get access to, and three different places you have to work out of three different time zones in order to get back to your job.

Sheesh. I think he just wanted to stay a little bit longer. He could have just told us all that up front. I was really looking forward to a relaxing week of planning Sean's birthday party and whatnot with Dray before my class starts up next week.

Oh well....we'll see if he can get back to the states before Thursday. I highly doubt it...that seems like at least a three day turnaround, and he was supposed to leave yesterday and only notified someone today. Come on, now.

Okay, that's all for now. It's late, and we've just gotten home. The good news is the water is back on. :)

No bad news to discuss. Isn't that nice?

Take care.

Peace.
