Denver...Delay...Delta...

What do these three words have in common? They all start with the same letters as DEvil. As Caitlin says on the matter: Coincidence? I think not.

I don't know how many of you have flown through Denver, but this creepy demon horse is the first--and most memorable--thing you see when you fly in. It's huge, it's blue, it's angry, and it has glow-in-the-dark evil eyes. And I'm pretty sure it curses everything that flies in and out of that place.

And cursed I was. I got off the plane and the first thing I see is an email telling me I've been bumped to a later flight. Then, when I go to get my new boarding pass, they tell me that all flights to SLC have been cancelled that night--AND that I can't get out until TUESDAY. Well, I got them to put me on a flight on Monday instead...but I was still stranded. In Denver. Ugh.

Luckily it was the airline's fault--something wrong with the plane--so they put me up in a hotel for the night and gave me vouchers for food, etc., but I was still stuck in Denver, with no clothes, toiletries, no makeup. The next morning was NOT pretty. And I missed another entire day of classes--not good. Cursed by the Demon Horse of Denver.

And then...when I did make it back to SLC, I got into the shuttle to take me back to my apartment in Provo and the driver finds out I'm in law school and starts asking me all kinds of questions about the bar exam. He knew a lot more about it than the average person does, so I asked him if he had known someone who took the exam...or what. He turns and looks at me (creepily, I might add) and says, "I'm an attorney." Seriously???? He claims he didn't like the law and is looking to do something else now...but still. You couldn't find anything else to do? I'm hoping this isn't another bad omen about the job market right now...but who knows how far the Demon Horse's curse will go.
