I Want To Fly

So I am trying to book a flight to California...

Swear if it's not one way *I* will be shocked...

So I am Expidia and I am about to buy the tickets... So I go through the whole routine and would not you know it all they have is "e-tickets." What the hell is an eticket you might ask. I'll tell you. It is just this sheet of paper that is generated but Excite after you book your flight. No more Regular tickets. I call Excite up and say hey there was a part of the website that said that for an extra $19.99 I can have tickets printed out. She tells me, "That option is only available for international flights." I'm like come on. I'm going to the other side of the continent. A few more steps and I will be in the water and 24 miles out is international waters.... Can't we just say close enough. Mind you I do not say these things for fear that she will destroy the plane in midair. But I do mention that I really want paper tickets. Then she asks me why. But not in one of those attempting to be understanding kind of ways. In one of those "Oh, e-tickets are not good enough sort of way." I have hear this tone before. It's usually carried but those who work in the internet industries. They don't want "regular mail" they want "e-mail." No Cash they want "e-money." e-commerce. e-management. I don't know when 'e' became the new 'x' but these people can byte my e-ass.

So I call my friend who I am going to see and he says that sucks but to help things out he says... "Hey did you hear about the earthquake here in Cali." It's 5.9 on the scale. Ok, I'm not going...

Alright I'm off to run away from my problems...
