Roughing it out at MDW tonight

DCA to SFO trip got sold with the second leg being on standby. Aside from a 1hr or so weather delay on the first leg, a bunch of us basically got dumped at the terminal til the next flight at 10am. Apparently neither the airline nor the Chicago PD office on site have any blankets to spare. I've slept on worse surfaces than this before, but this just SUCKS.

If I knew this could even happen. I would've packed my thin summer blanket with me.

It appears Spirit Air now has a spiritual successor.

The latest batch of extra miler stories.

Do these people even work at the same company as the rest of us? Taking off during rush hour to pick up a control cable from a dealer for a comm customer? Delivering bottles of oil to someone stuck on the side of the road?

I got nothing against helping a customer in need. Hell, Toyotas with 17825 starters are becoming a running joke at my store now that I've replaced three or four of them in the parking lot when the ones in the vehicle lasted just long enough to make it to our store before giving up the blue smoke.

But I don't know of ANY stores where someone can up and take off without creating a catastrophic workload increase on the people still inside.

A coworker decided to do the brakes on his 22 Pacifica and missed the step above. Now he's going to get a new caliper to go with those new pads.

On a less positive note, the space between the caliper and the motor had a bunch of brake fluid despite the o ring. The caliper was already leaking at the parking brake jack screw seal at barely four years old. That's the CDJR quality for ya.
