All of this and flying too

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! There, feels good. It turns out that Little Miss Office Assistant is on the move. My presence has been required at a conference. Of course, just to make things fun I have to do reservations not only for the boss, but also for an Assistant Researcher and moi.

I usually love to fly, the idea of being chartered anywhere for free is amazing, so I call the nice travel coordinator and told him, yes... we'll take the small plane, after all it is a trip within the state, yes... the early return time is OK, after all who wouldn't want to be back early on a Sunday when you have to work on Monday (let's not forget that the weekend will be spent working as well), yes... It is OK if only one carry on piece of luggage is allowed on the little plane, after all, if I'm a girl and I can fit one formal suit, one business casual attire, make up and maintenance stuff, pj's, changes of underwear enough for 3 days, toiletries, etc on a carry on, anyone can.

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG...

Enter "El Divo de la UPR"- long story, but el divo is this weird person that takes over the boss when he gets complementary stuff. It goes something like:

• Make sure that the charter plane holds at least 20 people I don't do Cessna unless it is jet. No glorified mosquitoes, please.
• One carry on is never enough!!!!!
• If you want to leave early, be my guest, but I like to sleep in on Sundays... now let's talk about arriving.... what do you mean there is no flight after 8:00 pm, there's gotta be...The latest arriving flight is at 6:00? I'll take that one... the activity starts at 7:00 and it takes 50 minutes to get there? No problem, that is why the Researcher and my fabulous assistant are leaving in the first morning flight... to get there on time to the Opening I will not be assisting to and take notes.

As I said one before, sometimes The Devil Wears Scrubs...
