Sonsabitches!
if you're my mom or my wife, excuse my language, but i'm really pissed about work today.
Tuesday after lunch, I got a call from my customer, asking me to be in VA today, Friday, to answer technical questions in a brief. For some dumbass reason, I said yes, if my travel arrangements would go through. I submitted my request, selected the only flight for the return home that would get me in at a decent hour tonight (before 9pm), and it cost $800 (one way). I advised the customer of this, and she said that was fine. I was off on Wednesday 4-wheeler riding (it was hella fun, will blog a blog about it later), and secretly hoping my request would get denied due to the price of the flight or the short fuse on getting 'r' dun.
Wednesday afternoon, I got an email on my blackberry saying it was approved...shit.
Thursday morning, I get up, get ready, and leave for the airport, sore as shit. I get to the airport and check my email to make sure who my flight was with because I couldn't remember. I scroll through the email and see "Detroit" on the return flight...what? Sure enough, without asking, they put me on a flight that has a connection through detroit, puts me in Indy 3 hours later, saves a whopping $200 (at the cost of an additional 3 hours of OT for me) and basically just pisses me off. If they would have just denied my request, I would have been fine.
Anyway, I call and see if they can put me back on the original flight I requested, but they can't. it's not a contracted carrier. The best they can do for me, out of 4 semi-local airports is a flight that gets in at the same time, but is direct and doesn't leave until 6:30 tonight. at least i won't spend all evening on a damn airplane.
To top it off, I'm not here to "answer technical questions". I'm here to "give most of the brief".
In the words of Aaron Karo, "fuck me"
