Right so far today I have booked two flights, a cross US train trip, two hotel rooms near Heathrow and a night at a pub near Newbury. I have also battled crappy websites and spoken to people in Indian call centres who can't understand when I tell them what an absolutely crappy UX the website they represent is.
I still have 4 more hotel nights to book in the US, and car hire too, but for now I think I want to play some pinball.
Good god don't ever try booking flights with traveljunction. If you book on their site it eats all your CC details etc then you get sent to a webpage with this at the top, so you think "fine, I'm done". Then a few minutes later some guy rings from an Indian call centre and tells you that this confirmation is not in fact a confirmation after all.
@dev_ric Definitely something odd about traveljunction. The way everything else works is you set up the flight, put in your payment details, do a little 2FA dance and you're done. TJ omits the 2FA dance, which seems odd, but they send you to a page where it says CONFIRMATION ✔️ so you think you're done. Only some dude from a call centre calls you a few minutes later to say "actually you aren't confirmed".
Every month the bank send me an email saying "There is a new message about your product" when what they actually mean is that there's a new monthly statement of my account available on the website.
Why they use such daft terminology for it goat only knows. I don't think of my bank account as a "product". Just send an email saying "you have a new bank statement" you weirdoes. 🐂
It's such a privilege and a joy to have these gentle animals just come and snuggle up with you, not for food, not for anything other than just because they feel happy and safe with you <3
What's the perceived etiquette on boosting your own stuff? I see some do it but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so myself, I don't think anything I say warrants a "HEY JUST I CASE YOU MISSED IT" repoke. If anyone is actually interested in the shit I say they'll find it anyway.
Perhaps when I die a moment such as this will be the last that I recall; a summer day, content after good food and wine, relaxing in a field with woolly companions, warm sun, the sounds of birds and grazing...
Just had the opposite of that pinball game I had the other day where I had a gr4eat first ball and crap all the rest.
This time I had 2 shit balls that drained almost straight away, thought "oh well I'll still play the last one out for the practice" and got 10 million and a bunch of extra balls off it for my best score on that table.
