Ooops I did it again...

....yes, displayed yet another flawless performance of making travel arrangements and booking them for the wrong dates..... the charming drawl on the phone politely inquires if I had intended to book the shortest trip to Miami on record.... or had I perhaps made an error?? He assumed, correctly, that my plan wasn't really to arrive in Miami at 1215 on November 30 and swap buses to depart Miami at 1215 on November 30. The man takes several moments to calm my hysteria, consoling me with soothing, "Don't worry about it, I can fix this right away", "I knew it was likely to be a mistake... we always have humans go through all our bookings". Clearly, the bookings were made by an alien being with a panache at putting through the wrong date in the final try when the payment window does clear approval! I toy with the idea of telling him I'm chronically inept when it comes to travel bookings and this is but yet another recorded incident of my multitudinous lapses in this field. Instead, I thank him profusely and sincerely wish him a Happy Thanksgiving back....

I swear, I will not make another booking this year. Hell, I won't make one for the next quarter. The end of the financial year. Whatever....!!!
