The more I thought about that other supervisor last night, the one who said due to health and safety it was accurate that I would die if I walked the terminal, the more bullied and intimidated I felt. While the “good cop” supervisor sat down across from me, the “bad cop” supervisor stood and paced like a republican presidential nominee at a debate, or a pugilist looking waiting for the bell to ring to start a round. It was really awful.<\/p>\n

I tried sleeping in the crappy chairs to little or no avail.<\/p>\n

It’s rare that I’ve encountered an entire corporate culture of sadistic glee at treating customers poorly. But London Heathrow is just that. At 4:40 am a staff members pounded the seats of gate 7 saying the airport was now open. It was the antithesis yet spiritual cousin of last call “Closing time” at a bar. If they had said you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here it wouldn’t have surprised me.<\/p>\n

What a mean spirited awful place.<\/p>\n

I wandered down to the shuttle to terminal 5 and went through the security rigmarole. \u00a0I grabbed far too many chocolate croissants at the club and then decided I had best try and get a few kilometers in at least \u00a0 It wouldn’t erase the binge eating or hit my marathon goal but it would be something at least.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure I trust my Garmin anymore. \u00a0But I think I at least did a 10k. \u00a0Best I could do this morning. \u00a0Wish I could’ve done my marathon but LHR simply wouldn’t allow it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Headed to my gate now. \u00a0It’ll be good to leave here on a jet plane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
