The saga continues.
I've got 14 hours until my next flight. That flight is 13.5 hours. I haven't slept at all yet, and thus far I've had a chicken sandwich, a coke, and a bottled water since saturday. 

Not to be obvious or dramatic, but I am fading fast..

I've convinced the people at United (yes, the people who caused this all) to let me into the Red Carpet lounge. You see, the Swiss Air lounge is run by a nazi, and he won't let me in without a boarding pass. Never mind that he can look it up. No boarding pass, no entry. 

They finally tracked down my luggage, thank god I didn't believe the guy last night, it didn't come in until this morning.  

Of little importance, while smaller, the Swiss Air lounge is much nicer than United. Swiss Air has sandwiches, sodas, water, etc. Plus free WiFi. United pretty much sucks on all counts. It's also less of a pain in the ass, since I had to go through TSA screening to get to the United one.

Oh, and I got yet another expanded screening. This makes four.

The score, for those of you keeping track:
1 missed flight
1 late flight
1 bumped flight
2 Airport "lounges"
1,000 United idiots.
2 Lost suitcases
2 Found suitcases
2 TSA screened suitcases (found the love notes when I grabbed my cell charger)
1 sad, tired, lonely, and pissed off traveller.
