He Just Can’t Remember His Flight Schedule

Translated…

My husband would take flights often, and he’d often, messed up a whole lot too, and, for multiple years, he’d messed up the exact same ways: not knowing when he’s supposed to fly out.

Being so scatterbrained as he, naturally, he’d gone on the wrong flights, or missed his flights entirely.  After a few times of being left in foreign places, my husband started becoming anal about the time of boarding, and since, there would be chaotic schedules of flights that would show their faces in our already, hectic life.

Days before he was about to fly out, the chaos had already been formed.  First, he’d told me he was to take the flight out next Monday, then, he’d said, oh, I was mistaken, I’m supposed to take the flight on Sunday.  On the day of his departure, he’d said he was supposed to board at ten, then, at nine, kept going back and forth, back and forth, so inconsistent.

The tickets were booked way ahead of his departure time, and it surely wasn’t caused by the ticketing at all, him being away on business trips is to blame.  He’d gotten, an overload of work right before he was about to go, and an assortment of things that needed to be taken care of before his departure, it’d kept my husband too high-strung, and, the flight schedule he’d already, saved in his mind became blurred out.

With my husband’s confusion of when he was to take off, it’d affected me too, later on, I’d asked him to give me a copy of his itinerary, so I don’t run around like a headless chicken alongside him.  That way, as he’d gone off, I can calculate the time, and, remotely control him, tell him that it’s time to head to the airport.

I’m not able-bodied, it’s just, that I’m afraid, that he might call me, and tell me he’d, missed his flight again.

And, it isn’t that every time my husband’s gone abroad, I’d started, worrying.  Once, my son went along with my husband to meeting, before they left, I’d called my son over, asked him, “You DO know your dad’s complex when he’s taking a trip, right?”  of course my son does, I continued, if he doesn’t want to become stray in a foreign land, then, he should pay attention to when he’s to get on his flights.

My son is mature, and so, naturally, he’d gotten his dad home safe and sound.

My husband’s scatterbrained behavior can also add some fun to our lives too.  Another time, when he couldn’t tell me clearly when he was supposed to leave, and when he’s due back.  After I’d looked into it, I’d found, that he’d flown to the same city two years in a row, as he’d checked his e-mail for the flight schedules, he’d only paid attention to the dates, and not the year, sometimes, he’d skimmed to this year’s mails, every now and then, he’d skimmed toward last year’s records, and so, chaos happens.  There are, three hundred sixty-five days a year, and, there would be so many cities he’d flown to, how could it be so coincidental!

Seeing how my husband would become flustered with the digits of his flight, it’s really, very sad for me to watch him suffer, however, I’d not expected, that recently, he’d not become stressed out when he was boarding his flight.  Turns out, there is an App that after you’d confirmed your seat on the airplane, it’d started an automated countdown for you, to remind him that he’s about to board.  (I truly hope, that this can end my husband’s airplane complex, and he’d be no longer worried about missing his flights).

Knowing that there’s an app like this one, I can’t help but feeling curious: how many others are like my husband, being confused on the time when they were supposed to board?

If it’s really so, then, my husband’s flight complex may be very ordinary then.

So, my husband IS normal.  I’m much relieved now!

So, this is because you got too many things on your mind, and you’d had prior experiences of missing your flights, and, you’d remembered the inconvenience it’d brought to you and others, which is exactly WHY you’d get flustered, every time you’re flying out, but gladly, thanks to the modern day technological advances, there IS a cell phone app that tells you when your flights are taking off, and, you can even set a reminder for yourself, so you are surely, NOT to miss your flights again!
