I did something I vowed I'd NEVER do.

I purchased a First-Class Airline Ticket.

Why?

Well, to quote First Officer Spock "I made an error on my computations"

In this case when I made my original statement I failed to account for the possibility of emergencies. mg: I was trying to become a Truck Driver. The Instructor DELIBERATELY told me to make false statements on the driver's log (Required by Law). I refused to do so, so they DUMPED me in Seattle. The Bus terminal CRAWLED with "Homeless" people, I could not go five feet without someone asking me for money (Excuse me, I need to get to LA, Excuse me, I need to get to Boise, Excuse me, I have to get to Reno). After potting up with this for about an hour I rebuked one of them by saying "Excuse me, I need to go to Michigan". I then said the following two words - TAXI, AIRPORT!!! Arriving the Airport I went to the Delta Airlines terminal and bought the Ticket (Using my "Plastic Power, naturally). At this point I didn't care about it's price (About $900.00) I just wanted to get home. Have you've you ever boarded a plane (Coach Class naturally) and ENVIED those who were flying First Class? In my case it was THE OPPOSITE. Yes, I get to eat some REAL Food & wash it down with wine. On the other hand, next month the bill comes in the mail, INCOMING!!! Since those in Coach were paying less than I was. You know something? The Grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side of the fence.

PS The Company gave me a partial refund. Upon receiving this check I IMMEDIATELY cashed it in and bought ANOTHER Airline Ticket (Coach this time).
