AHHH!! 4 HOUR DELAY AT NEWARK!!
Yeah, my 8:40 PM departure from Newark to Milwaukee was delayed until 12:30AM... *Office Space Yeahhh...*

My supposed departure time from Newark was just when the plane departed from Milwaukee

And now there's tons of all around delays cause it looks like its gonna rain like a mofo...

Well, at least once I get there my vacation will start!!

8 bucks for internet, meh, but what the hell, I'll be here for a long time anyway!

3. I've come to harbor a special hatred for Newark Airport
I have never gotten on a plane closer than 1.5 hours after schedule when I fly out of there.

4. I've only been delayed there once and that was for 6 hours flying to...
London.

We were delayed, because the British didn't trust our security at the time, so we were held up until British officials could search us in Newark. It was very weird. Something had to have been going on.

5. evil update...
T-storms forecasted from weather.com until at least 5 am (at 50%, but still...), and lady at desk says "could be a very long night".

Yeah, air travel man!!

10. Wait a minute. When's Summerfest?
That'd be a prefectly good reason to vacation in Milwaukee. D'oh!

9. Radar shows a line of strong TSTMS about 50 nm south of EWR.
SWAP (Severe Weather Avoidance Program) is probably in effect. If so, good luck tonight. Get a room.

11. A few months ago
I missed my 8 pm flight to Miami and had to stay there the whole night until 7 a.m. I ended up going to the hotel across the street, what is a Marriot or something, and drinking beer until 1 a.m.
