1. O'Hare is a HORRIBLE AIRPORT with NO SIGNS. I arrived via subway, looked at the SOLE SINGULAR SIGN displaying which airlines are in which terminals, determined that Continental is spread across two terminals and my gate (B) is in terminal 1. Plodded down there to be confronted with United check-in lines and a security gate and a guard who informed me I had to walk outside to terminal 2, check in there, and come back. Note that there were ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS, once I got past that initial one on the underground level. No sign that said 'Continental this way' or 'Terminal 2: Continental Check-In, AirlineZ, etc.' NOTHING. And nobody to ask for help except occasional security guards. Seriously, that is so fucking inexcusable. Like, if you don't arrive by car, you can just...walk around until you find your terminal! You'll get there eventually!

2. There is, however, a Vosges store in the B terminal. So I had some chocolate bacon toffee to soothe my rage.

3. BUT: there is one set of sockets to plug in your laptop and/or devices. Eight people can use it at once. There are NO OTHER SOCKETS in the entire terminal. What the damn fuck, O'Hare.

4. I am irrationally over-angry about a non-airport-related thing right now, and can take no further immediate action on it. I do not like this.

5. At least I had a really lovely breakfast with [personal profile] such_heights this morning! It was a nice cushion before the endless irritation commenced.
