Changed Plan

"Get to the airport early," they said. "You don't want to miss your flight." I got here three hours before my departure time. But my flight decided to miss me. It seems like everyone's flight has been canceled. They can't all have weather delays! All I want is to roast on a beach in Florida and forget all about the fact that I've been fired. Dismissed. Discharged. Terminated is the word human resources prefers. Because they're actual sadists. The last thing I need is this human-shaped Golden Retriever, who won't stop smiling at me and telling me it's not so bad. Things could be worse. No sense being angry about what we can't control. I don't know what I did to attract this man. Was it my entirely unapproachable expression? The way I was screaming at customer service on my phone? Whatever the reason, I am not sharing a hotel room with him. His snores probably come out in the tune of "You Are My Sunshine." He's too...
