IPSTPD Story Bone 8

The Layover. When you're flying in the US, if you miss your connecting flight there is usually another in at most a day (well, in most of the US, there are examples where this isn't true). What if you're an interstellar traveller and you miss your connection? It maybe years before another ship is going your way (in a limited travel by big ship universe, as compared to other universes where small ships have FTL engines). What do you do? You're going to need a job (unless your rich). Are there jobs specifically for these kinds of people? Do you go native? End up a colonist on the wrong world?
