[ IP ] Arriving at the wrong spaceport

About gorram time. My head was spinning, my eyes these weird sort of tired where out almost hurts to close them. I was nauseated, as much from shear sickness with traveling as from the persistent stink of the Amarid in the seat next to me ( Good gosh, I hate Amarids! Dunno how anyone can stand them... ). More than anything, I guess, I was pissed off... Like everyone is when they've just spent the better part of three days mouldering in spaceports and way stations trying not to miss their next connection and struggling to deal with the stultifying boredom of unending layovers and delays. So, when the seat restraint lights clicked off, I was outta there. Grabbed my bag and just about ran off. Nearly knocked over the Temian stewardess. I was just Done. 
 
 It's a cast iron rule of life... Does n't matter how short the trip. When you get off a flight, you got to pee. So, pissed off or not ( hardehardedar ), my first priority, before getting out into some fresh air, before chasing and haggling down a taxi, before booking a room and sitting down for that nearly orgasmic ritual of taking-ones-shoes-off-at-the-end-of-the-day, before any of that, was to find a crapper. After a brief pause the gate to look for the signs, I ran and I relieved myself - of all my burdens, it felt like, especially after an 18 hour flight. 
 
 So it was only after that, after some relief and some freedom once I was out of security, in the LPO ( editors' note: LPO = Low Planetary Orbit ) taxi bay looking for a ride to Xwinfingjsandik City Conference Centre, that I realized I was in the wrong place. ( The utter lack of Xwinfingjsandik City on the routing board was the first hint for my poor addled brain. ) I was n't in Frangjansik station at all. I was at Tintinwatuh. The other friggin side of the friggin Mosantin Nebula. 18 gol-friggin-momma-buggrin-two-faced-rotted-bloddy-sycofantic-tishwanicated hours in the wrong bloody direction. I did n't want to even think about how many light years that was. 
 
 I guess I'm not going to be giving that presentation on triple-protected indigent miner vacation fund loans on Centisi IV then.
