I've had the same jeans on for three days now

We arrived at Sydney only half an hour late, and the Qantas staff assured me that it didn't matter how long it took to get through customs, I would just be moved to the next flight to Brisbane if I missed the one at 8.  There was a very helpful salesman at the duty free shop (who was getting commission I'm pretty sure) so that was quick, but by the time I got through the very busy customs and to the domestic transfer desk, I was too late for the 8am flight. 

I wasn't sure I was hearing correctly when the check-in lady said that the next flight she could get me on wasn't until 1pm!  I know it's Easter weekend and really busy, but that was a whole 5 hours away

I got the free transfer to the Domestic terminal and tried to find out if there was any chance of getting on an earlier flight there as well, but there wasn't.  I also tried to get into the Qantas Club with my sob story, but they wouldn't let me in there either.   There aren't all that many shops or anything, and I had my duty-free shopping and the heaviest laptop in the world with me, so I just sat around and read for 4 hours with a Gloria Jean's mocha caramelatte (mmmmmm) and tried to stay awake.

The most annoying thing was that planes to Brisbane leave every hour.  When they started calling for missing passengers I considered going and begging for a seat, but I guess my luggage might not have ended up in brisbane with me so I just stayed put.  Eventually 1 arrived and after waiting around for another couple of passengers who hadn't shown up (ahh the delicious irony) we were finally heading for Brisbane.
