losing a love and learning to hate

all right, that does it. i found out the other day that my absolutely favorite listening station has quit.  yes, Groovera, aka FrostByte Groove Lounge, has called it quits. i loved that station -- specifically Low Mercury -- and it didn't have any commercials to interrupt whatever you had going. tim q. quitting, because of personal health, is a tragedy all by itself.

but now, we find out the first class airline tickets we bought for our trip to MYS's wedding has a leg which is messed up. the plane has been downgraded and they moved us three rows back. WTF??? oh sure, it's a computer system that makes the seating decisions and there's nothing they can do and no you can't have any money back.

well, i'm not in the mood. i've lost my music and now my money doesn't mean anything. after this trip i will never fly again. i don't care that it will take longer to get there. slower pace, back to the roots, remember how sweet it used to be. big business can just get along without me. and i totally do not care if they eventually have money problems, and i would help them down the tubes after experiencing their snotty/hateful attitude toward their customers. greedy bastards i can do without.

but i really miss my music.

    As to groovera, I've been pretty pleased with Pandora. I have several stations and even signed up for their $X/mo. because I support what they do. One station is pretty much exclusive to when I'm in the shower, if that's specific enough for you!

    The airline situation sounds appalling. Surely you're still in 1st class? Otherwise not giving you the difference is pretty clearly actionable.

    We're less than a month out now! I'm totally not panicking! Eeeee!

  3. they changed the plane to a smaller plane and must have tossed the tickets in the air to find out how to redistribute the seat assignments. and i don't think anything is actionable against the airlines. they go their own way and don't give a shit about the little guy.

    oh yeah, time keeps moving on! let us know if you need anything.
