I Hate to Be Mean!!!

Tonight as I blog, it is thundering and lightning outside.... and that describes how I am feeling on the inside right now, like there is a storm that is just raging..... let me explain

When my mom and Mandie came over here back in July we discovered there was a big problem with their return ticket... They had an unexplained, unmentioned, unrequested, unintelligent 36 hour layover in LA.... I freaked out because I was already nervous about the 2 of them flying around the world without me....... Thankfully, as they made their way from here to LA they were able to get on 2 standby flights all the way across the country.... but... the saga continues.

Matt and I got to noticing that our return flights for Christmas were also messed up with the unexplained, unmentioned, unrequested, unintelligent 36 hour layover in LA....Not what you want when you have been away from family that long... You are ready to go visit!!!! We immediately decided to try and change our flights so they would have better connections...

Long story short.... the same travel agency who messed up our connections apparently had messed up our ticket in the computer as well....

Soooo.... I had to get on the phone and call the travel agent.... the same one who messed up the flight plan that caused all the mess in the first place.....I called her last night.... I was so proud at how calm I was..... Matt said I was too nice and that I should have bit her head off..... Can y'all believe Matt Matt said that????

Anyway... she assured me the problem would be fixed when I woke this morning and of course.... IT WASN'T!!!! Sooooo.... do you see where this is going???

I had to call back tonight.... as soon as she heard my voice she tried to get snippy with me...and y'all...my blood went from normal to boil in about 2 seconds..... Matt was grinning from ear to ear... "Get her Jed, Get Her" his face was saying....

As I talked I learned that she had never even been out of the country except once and that was to Europe on some little 2 week vacation...... Obviously she had NO IDEA how it feels to be overseas and have the feeling of not having a way home... Yes, I KNOW it was all gonna work out Juju.... but all the trouble was her fault to begin with......

After I hung up I felt really bad about being so mean to her... I know a lot of you probably think that setting people straight is a gift, but sometimes I just HATE being that person....

As of now...11pm Friday night, the issue is still not corrected... I gave her my Filipino travel agents email at 930 and she was supposed to email her then.... My agent just called and she hasn't heard anything... Pray everything will get cleared up soon... Our deadline is Wednesday, the 29th.


UPDATE TO THIS ENTRY!!!!!!!! AS OF 7:00 AM Saturday the 25th, I have an email confirming our correct flight to home for the holidays!!!!!!!!! Thanks for praying!
