So I was really frustrated yesterday because I spent over an hour trying to find suitable flights for a coworker and every time I found one that was ok, by the time I filled out the name and whatnot, it would be full and no longer an option. Stupid internet and stupid other people taking the flights I needed. It kept trying to get me to take flights that went from Nashville to Philadelphia and then to Atlanta. Or to Ohio or St. Louis and then to Atlanta. That just seems silly. And then once I finally got a flight that we thought was acceptable, they were like, oh, I need a car too. Ok, I can do that.
Except then I couldn't because the acceptable flight didn't get in until 11:30 pm and all the car places at the Albany airport close at 9:00 pm. So, one website said I should call and ask them about getting a car at 11:30, so I did and the girl was like, well, we close at 9, but we might be extending our hours. We don't know yet, so you should check again in a few days. I was like, dude, you don't know yet whether you have to work until 9 or 12 Sunday night, five days from now? Nice. So it was time to go and we decided we'd figure out the car thing this morning.
When I got to work today, she was like well, I talked it over and decided it was too big of a hassle and not working out right, so I cancelled that flight and I'm just going to drive. Dude! So then I was trying to change the hotel reservations by a day, but when I called the hotel they said their computers were down so they couldn't change it today. I was being thwarted at every turn! I don't think that trip was meant to be. I'm finished complaining. I feel better now.

It's OK. I complain about work all the time.
Dude, travel completely sucks. Why do people decide on a flight and then suddenly just change their minds? Maybe the next time you spend hundreds of dollars on something that is very possibly not refundable, you will give it a little bit of thought beforehand? Nah.
