Couldn't fix it...

So I've complained before about my long route to JFK airport in NY from Detroit (via Atlanta). So today I took a trip out to the airport (DTW) to see what Delta could do for me. Janine was very helpful, I find they are way more helpful in person than on the phone (plus they print you out your ticketing information, which I like). We had pretty much narrowed my best options down to going to NY the day before and spending the night (which is an option I would have considered). So we canceled the tickets and then realized that my tickets were bought in a way that she couldn't substitute them (actually I think she could have but it would have been only $12 credit). But then she had a problem rebooking the original flight. So we (she) called somewhere else, three somewhere else's actually, but she finally got someone to answer and they fixed me right up! I failed that mission but it was worth a drive on a nice day (and $5 for parking). I'll bug the travel group once more (maybe twice) and see if I can get someone there to fly me in the day before.

Plus I ran into a guy from high school, I actually recognized him but had to read the name tag to be sure. I think he graduated two ears before me it took us a few, but we figured out that we knew each other from yearbook. So I got to chat with him for a few minutes while waiting for Janine.

Remember info?
(Posting rules are below)
NEW RULE: No HTML code is allowed (URLs are okay).



No HTML is allowed (it's used too much by spammers). You may list site URLs in the comments with "http://" in front of it (and I'll automatically link it) but do not put href tags around it or the whole message will be blocked. Sorry, but the spammers were really starting to annoy me.

If you want a Gravatar icon (square images) to show up next to your comment (like these), be sure to register at http://gravatar.com/.

If you want a web site thumbnail (rectangular images) to show up next to your comment (like these), be sure to submit your link (you must add yourself to the DMOZ.org directory too) for About Thumbshots thumbnails.

It's Free! Even if you register later, it'll magically show up here. (Gravatars take precedence over Thumbshots.)

Rules: It's my blog so what I say goes. This means I can delete or edit posts that are offensive, have bad grammar, promote something not related to the post or that I just feel like fixing or deleting. Pretty much if you play nice I'm not going to mess with your comment (why would I?).
Spammers: My filters, lookups and verification stops more than 99.99% of spam; I will report you to the various spam collection sites / authorities (there must be a better word for this) so don't post here.

Privacy: While I don't post your e-mail address, nor will I sell your info, I may send you an announcement if I ever change my web address or start a new blog or something like that (I had someone complain about sending a notification once, so this is my disclaimer).
