Waiting for our girl
Who is holding their breath to see if they let her out at exactly 6:30 or if there's some dilly-dallying?
I've been here for about an hour now. The instructions were to "Park at the curb and wait in my car."
There has been no process of checking in with anybody, however. No paperwork to sign.
A couple of COs wandering in the lot have told me to move which spot I'm in but that's about it.
Well, now someone just called me from a government phone number. They asked if I was going to be picking up Kara today and I explained to them that I was already here.
They asked if I was the person arriving in a taxi.
I said that I was not... That I had a rental car and explained that I had a long history of correspondence which I had emailed back and forth with the unit manager detailing all of this plan.
They said they'd call me back. I've now been parked out here for over an hour. Good thing it's pleasant weather, at least.
After continued silence from inside the walls, I've now made attempts to call back.
Most numbers do not pick up or go to voicemail. I've tried some routing around their phone tree using different inbound numbers and was able to reach the R&D team.
They confirmed they know that I am here.
I was also able to get them to tell me that Kara allegedly knows I'm here, as well, which is one small good thing.
I figure we've got about another half hour before things get stressful with regard to airport check-in.
Rental car dropped off and now we are on the bus to the terminal. Flight starts boarding in about 10 minutes. Hoping the cut off time for baggage is 45 minutes.
All the needless and idiotic delays that Carswell created were so unhelpful.
I'm pretty sure we could reduce recidivism rates if all detainees, upon their departure, were treated to fresh fruit and charcuterie when they hit the sky.
We've moved on to a coffee and tea service now
We may not be in first class, but we're doing our best
@deviantollam lets hope the answer is you were already able to hug her as i'm typing this
@deviantollam paws crossed, that this episode finally comes to an end! Hoping for the best! <3
@deviantollam best of luck, sending all the love
@deviantollam Cool. Wishing her well.
@deviantollam Please wish her all the best first steps to freedom for me.
@deviantollam
Looks like we are clearly in the dilly-dallying phase.
@deviantollam
Of course they aren't going to miss an opportunity to fuck around a little more.
@deviantollam Not surprising, but hopefully they're actually getting things sorted.
I wouldn't trust a schedule from the government in the best of times.
@deviantollam
Airport check-ins… Ffffuuuu /o\
Crossing all fingers!
@deviantollam fingers crossed I hope it all works out
@deviantollam Good luck to the both of you.
@deviantollam congrats Kara!
@deviantollam wow congratulations !!
@deviantollam oh fuck yeah!!
@deviantollam So happy to hear this! Travel safely!
@deviantollam This is just wonderful!
@deviantollam
Finally! Congratulations!
FUCK YEAH. Finally some good ass news.
Thanks for your engagement @deviantollam
I hope Kara can be home soon and never has to deal with that sort of bullshit ever again.
@deviantollam Best news in ages!
@deviantollam WooHoo! Congrats. Have a great trip
@deviantollam Excellent news!
@deviantollam what relief :)
@deviantollam Thank goodness!!
@deviantollam HALLELUJAH!!
@deviantollam
No more messages seems to be a good sign (sitting in the plane with phone switched off)?
@deviantollam Congrats on getting through security so fast.
Did you have to use your social hacking skills?
@deviantollam I can't imagine the elation that she must feel at this moment.
@deviantollam
I'm late to the party. What is the backstory here? Thx
@deviantollam Yay! Congratulations Kara!
@deviantollam yes!! im so happy for you. hi kara!!
@deviantollam so glad to see you safely on your way
@deviantollam FUCK YEA LET'S GOOOOO
@deviantollam Heck, treat them to it in the lockup, too! I don't think that the hellish conditions they face prepare them well for returning to society.
@deviantollam I cannot begin to imagine what emotions are flowing right now. I've never spent any time behind bars and never plan to. Although as we're all learning now, there's no guarantees that our opinions, political views, biology won't get us locked up.
@deviantollam Eastbound an' down, load'em up an' truck it
We gon' do what they say cain't be done
(If you know the lyrics and your Texas geography, you know...)
@deviantollam the nails are excellent
@deviantollam yeah, treat her to as many comforts as you can
