Green DNA Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I arrived in Zurich today after flying from Australia for the past 24 hours. I usually carry my suitcase on board, but since I was on a two week trip I had a bigger bag and checked it. Now...the effin bag is missing and they have no clue where it is, since I went through Bangkok and London on the way here. I am here for a managers meeting that that starts tomorrow and the COO of the company will be there. Then I have to make a presentation to a room full of senior managers from another area of the company. The stores here are not open on Sunday and do not open up until around 11 a.m. on Monday. The only clothes that I have are the jeans and shirt that I have been wearing for the past 36 hours. I am focked beyond all belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The hotel obviously doesn't have a mens shop. Wow, that sucks. Happened to me a few years back when I was going to Atlantis Resort in Bahamas for work. Told the guy and he said c'mon down in Jeans until the bag shows up. That totally blows though.

Like with Max, when I left Kansas for Korea my bags decided to be on a later flight. Unfortunately, I had to interview for a position with the sweats I wore to be comfortable on the trans-pacific flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That really sucks man. On top of that, Switzerland is probably...no, definitely, the most expensive country I've ever been to in my life. If they wanted $18 for a salad (and it wasn't even tossed) I can't imagine what some jeans and a shirt would cost you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I had to interview for a position with the sweats I wore to be comfortable on the trans-pacific flight. I considered showing up in the clothes I have been wearing until I looked in the mirror and realized I have that "homeless chic" type of appearance. I'm a mess. I guess no chance of borrowing some clothes from one of the other managers? They would probably have te same reaction that I would have if one of them asked to borrow my clothes...EFF OFF! Good luck at your presentation tomorrow anyways dude, you are big shot. you're always globe trotting I have full confidence you will pull it all off with rock-star impact bro. We do what we gotta do - we're Jet fans. Thnaks guys. It is morning now and I am going to wander the main drag looking for some place that might be open. I will probably show up with a satin shirt and plaid pants and just tell them that this is the new style in New York. That really sucks man. On top of that, Switzerland is probably...no, definitely, the most expensive country I've ever been to in my life. If they wanted $18 for a salad (and it wasn't even tossed) I can't imagine what some jeans and a shirt would cost you. Good luck. Thanks. Everything is totaly out of control price wise. With any luck I can get Qantas to pay for some clothes, but I'm not holding my breath. The one effin time I check my bag I get screwed over. Unbelievable.

#27TheDominator Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That blows. There is probably a Brioni or something in the Zurich airport, but if you think the rest of Switzerland is expensive... Sad thing is that I have been using Swiss Air and flying through Zurich because they don't lose my bag the way British and Air France do. They turn up in a day, but it's a PITA. Swiss managed to get my bag on board when my flight was late and my layover was under a half hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 I got the bag back last night (or what's left of it anyway). It turns out BA lost the bag at Heathrow and while they were at it they cracked off the collapsible handle and the zipper tab. The case is basically ruined and it should be fun dragging the friggin thing through the airport on Saturday. I had my meetings and presentation in jeans and a shirt I picked up on the fly. Turns out my boss had tickets for some classical concert in Lucerne (major snoozefest) last night and I showed up in the jeans when everyone else in the place was wearing a suit. I had major problems forcing myself to stay awake trying not to piss off the boss. Then I looked over at him and he was fast asleep. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're less than 2 hours away. You can buy any clothing you want in Milan. Lots of gay JetNation friendly clothes too. Hell, if you were a 42 I could have lent you a suit.
