i just need to write this angry post.
i have basically been feeling anxiety about not yet having my ticket back to taiwan for the past few weeks. i know i should have booked earlier but i was mostly waiting on my m.i.a. high school job to email me back before i booked anything. i know, i'm a moron and just should have booked my ticket back in may when it was still reasonable to book tickets.
tonight, when i waited for my dial-up connection to finish loading the kayak page for flights, i was so pleasantly surprised to see the fare on the flight i'd been eying had dropped $100 from yesterday so i called ellen to tell her i was buying my ticket, then started booking it.
by the time i finished and pressed "purchase" instead of a confirmation page, it took orbitz ten years to load a page that told me due to 'demand' or some other bullshit my flight at that fare was no longer available. what was available then? oh! the SAME flight for $100 more!
talking about jerking my chain. i was/am so upset. fuck you orbitz. you are assholes. what about all of us on slow internet who can't book your damn reduced priced fares at the moment they become available!
i guess it's only $100, right? i' m just so mad. i called huelo to ask her to make me feel better and also to ask her to tell me to just buy the more expensive ticket. but damn. i hate airlines and i hate baggage charges and i hate everything in my life recently that's proven to be really unreliable.
bah.
