I can't believe how un-fucking cool my day has been.
Right now I SHOULD be in Charleston, WV and I SHOULD be enjoying my cousin's wedding tomorrow. Guess what, I am back in fucking Orange County, CA instead.
I get up at 5am, go to the airport and take a flight to Cincinati, OH. That part went just fine. I get off my plane only to find out my flight to WV is canceled. No biggy . . . they can get me in an hour or to later . . . WRONG!!! The earliest they could get me there was 9:35pm tomorrow night.
Simple solution - rent a car and drive . . . only problem is Delta consideres this a cancelation and thus canceles my return flights causing me to buy NEW tickets (for a mere $1400) on top of losing the airfare I already shelled out.
After going through scenario afer scenario that would get me to WV on time for the wedding, turns out that unless I want to pay a whole hell of a lot more for tickets, it ain't gonna happen. To make things worse, they won't even refund my whole ticket because I voulentarily got on the flight to Cincinati (as though I knew the fucking flight would be canceled while I was in the air).
All I can say is that I already feel sorry for the customer service manager on duty tomorrow when I call to get the rest of my ticket refunded and find out how they are going to make up to me missing my cousin's wedding. I am thinking I should just charge them what I charge my clients for my time . . . let's see, 12 hours out of my life at $150 an hour . . .
Update: This morning I get a call from one of my closest friends in Philly. She was in a car accident last night. I am starting to think that I should hide in a small padded room for the remainder of the weekend.
