For the first time in my life, I got bumped from a flight. Actually I kind of volunteered, but it would have been mandatory had I not. The plane was pretty much boarded and there were still several people who were standing around waiting for a seat assignment (myself included). The airline people had been calling for volunteers to go on another flight for at least the past 45 minutes. With the plane pretty much boarded, I decided I'd "volunteer" so I wouldn't have to stand in line forever to figure out what I was going to do. Turned out to be a good plan.
The other flights back to SLC for the day were completely full, so I'm staying the night in Portland. They gave me a hotel voucher, two meal vouchers (worth 7 bucks each, which isn't a lot, but work pays for it anyway), and a $400 travel voucher. I don't know how I'll use it. I could come see some nephews / neice, or I could apply it to a trip to Hawaii or something. Hmmmm....
