All Mondays are Stupid but This One Really Sucks

My day so far today:

Wake up at 4am and go to the airport for a stupid work trip. Find out that every.single.flight. on United is delayed due to weather and every.single.person. has to wait in line to talk to a ticket agent and get rebooked on a different flight. Stand in line for an hour and half at five in the morning and finally get my turn at the ticket counter. Tell the agent I have a meeting at noon. He tells me I am in luck, he can get me there at 11:30 this morning! There is a connection in DC, the flight leaves in 2 hours, he prints me my tickets and I go on my way. Wait 2 hours for the flight to DC and land with 20 minutes before my connection. Check the screen for my gate. Check the screen for my gate. Check the screen for my gate. Start to panic as I now have 15 minutes for my connection. Look at the ticket for a gate. Realize that when the ticket agent rebooked me he put me on a 10:30 p.m. flight. TEN THIRTY PM AND IT'S TEN FIFTEEN IN THE MORNING AND MY MEETING IS AT NOON. Run to the customer service counter where they confirm he did indeed book me on a pm flight and inform me the earliest flight out is at 5pm.

They give me a little sad smile and tell me they are sorry and there is nothing they can do and wow that really sucks. I call to say I'll miss the 12pm meeting but I still have to wait for this godforsaken flight because I have 2 meetings tomorrow morning before I turn around and come back home. On a flight that connects through DC. So currently I'm on hour 3 of the 7 hour layover and I've had like 4 hours of sleep. You know what's interesting about the DC airport though? oh wait, nothing. There is nothing interesting about it. It's like every other airport and people are annoying and gum is too expensive and the seats have a weird smell. Awesome.
