So why am I online? Because I have to email my DJ and my invitation lady to tell them that I can't meet with them this week.
That, and I'm grumpy. So I want to bitch and moan about a couple things.
My trip was planned in a rush. Since people were laid off from my office, the responsibility of setting up my trips was given to a new person. I'm pretty sure she was overwhelmed, having to do her own job and then planning my trip. So I'm working late, and I realize, she never sent me my itinerary information. And the website of our travel agent was down. I had no idea what hotel I would be staying at. Fortunately, after waiting for half an hour on the travel agents emergency line, I got an email of my itinerary.
I had made up a 2 page statement of work of what I needed to do at the client site. Then at 3pm, the client sends me a 38 page fax of what they're expecting, complete with screen shots. Um, yeah, I don't think that's gonna get done in 3 days.
I found out when I was checking in that I'm no longer a Premier status with United. Fucking sucks! After I was 'grounded' at work last year, they didn't send me anywhere, and now I'm paying for it. Now I'm just a lowly regular passenger with no perks (sorry fellow lowly regular passengers). *sigh* At least I was able to charm the guy at the counter into giving me an Economy Plus seat.
My plane boarded about 15 minutes late, and I got in at 10:50pm MT. I got my luggage at 11:20pm. After waiting about 20 minutes for the AVIS shuttle, I finally got into my car and settled at 11:50pm. Argh. And my car has no CD player. Damn. And to think I brought my favorite hip hop jams to cheer me up. Hmph.
I got lost with the directions that the AVIS counter gave me. Wasted another 15 minutes. Surprise of surprises - I had some Mapquest directions printed out, and THEY WERE RIGHT. Too bad I trusted the AVIS directions more. Got into my hotel at 12:50am. 1:50 Chicago time.
OK, there was a lot more I wanted to bitch about, but I'm too sleepy to remember. Goodnight. Hoping tomorrow is a better day!
I hate it when I'm grouchy.
