		<description><![CDATA[ I just got back from a quick trip. I flew up to Oregon. The scenery up there is beautiful. Of course I didn’t pack too much—a couple carry-ons and one checked bag. I thought the guy would have been a little nicer, but when I asked him how much it was to check a bag he said, &#8220;Enough for another round trip ticket.&#8221; I said; just let the bag take my seat. I’ll walk. Then I made my way to security. You’re probably asking, ‘Were you lucky enough to be pat down?’ Welp, yes. I was. Which is fine, I was just a little embarrassed because I didn’t know where to leave the tip. So, stripped of both innocence and a good credit rating I made my way to Delta gate A4. Ah, make yourself comfortable in those inflexible World War II lawn chairs. The standard announcements came on. &#8220;Don’t leave your bag unattended; Smoking is prohibited in the terminals; The bottom of the seat cushion contains tickets to the Broadway show, ‘The Book of Mormon;’ Children traveling alone should speak with a gate agent,&#8221; and so on. Then they made the dreaded gate change announcement. &#8220;Delta flight XXX with service to Oregon will now be boarding from terminal 2, gate C9.&#8221; I don’t remember all the specific details, but we’ll say that’s correct. With two hours to spend, these people flying with me were running to the next gate like they were in the qualifying round for the Olympics. I followed suit. Packed up and got my two wheeled carry-on bag to the linoleum floor. The flood of people stampeding through the terminal looked like the annual great Montana cow herding. Strayed from the pack, I searched around but couldn’t find the new gate. I still had plenty of time left, but for some reason, that moment of fear, that thought of being left behind, made my heart rate skyrocket higher than the planes above. But don’t worry. I found a map and then the gate. Again, I got settled in. The most entertaining thing around was the wall clock. So I watched. I could almost count how many seconds had passed before another announcement came on. Yep. They had just moved us back to the original gate. So we all stretched our hammies, tied our running shoes and headed for the moving walkway. We made it back to the gate with only a couple casualties. We decided not to get settled in. No thanks. We’ll stand. Time was running out and I could see the plane on the tarmac. Uh-oh. The gate agent was holding the mic. Not again. No, we’re not moving again. She put the mic to her mouth and an announcement fell out. I thought she was speaking to the new employees, but she was addressing us. &#8220;Thank you for participating in Delta’s training program.&#8221;]]></description>
