Grai, that fucking sucks but it might not be as bad as you might feel it is.
Get a hold of your agent, or get another ticket just in case, and then deal with the fuck up. Just remember to secure your ticket.

Re: Fuck!
Grai-- Happy Birthday, even if it is fucked up! Good luck with the ticket. (Not knowing anything about airlines or agents, that's all I got.)
Eric-- You've got to be due some good luck soon! I hope things turn around and soon. Hang in there.

Ring the consumer agency - they will have a bunch of people who look after travel agents and can help sort out the mess. Let me know if you can't find them and I will have a look for you.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Toss a fucking brick through the fucker's window. Your company might get the call to replace it. Then you may be able to rape them on the fucking price. If the fuckos don't call your company then at least you'll feel better.

Re: Fuck!
WTF is wrong with my fucking Braun rechargeable electric toothbrush (with 1 AA Ni-Cad battery)
It recently fucking flipped out.
Most electrical gadgets work when plugged in, and turn off when unplugged from the wall.
This fucked-over toothbrush starts up and works normally when charger is unplugged from wall.
Also runs if lifted off the stand. Mechanical switch labeled "ON" & "OFF" has no effect. It just fucking runs.
----------fucking runs fucking runs fucking runs fucking runs fucking runs fucking runs --------------
No fucking way to turn the fucking thing OFF except inserting its fucking male plug in fucking female
wall socket. (or waiting hours for battery to die)
I'm fucking baffled & I'm an Electrical engineer.
Fuck this, I'll move on to fucking get ready for Burningman.
At least I have no fucking airplane ticket problem.

Re: Fuck!
Fuck, Grai, some fucking birthday gift~ I know you will get it fucking figured out.
Fuck, Box, I just threw out an entire full bottle of BP meds which I am NOT taking (verapamil?). The doc wanted to see if they slowed my heart rate, no, all it did was drop my BP dangerously low and made me think I was dying. Not kidding, I was home alone, lying in bed, knowing I should call 911, and completely unable to make the rational decision to lift the phone into my hand. Yeah. I didn't take those fuckers again. That was last year, but the pills were still good and hanging around. I tossed them out just a few days ago. Fuck, I get to live with a quick heart.
I do have rum and painkillers, but I'm a fuckign bitch who will not share.

Re: Fuck!
Today, I want to fucking punch things. I was diagnosed with endometriosis some months back and today the pain is really fucking unmanageable. I have surgery scheduled for after the Burn, but for the moment I just get to be in fucking pain.
Then there's the emotional side of it all. Fuck. I hate feeling like a downer every time I am around my friends and family, so when they ask how I'm doing, I fucking lie and tell them I'm fine. Or at least doing better. But on days like today, the lie wears thin. I hurt. A lot. All the time.
I guess I just needed a safe fucking place to say that, today, I am having a really fucking hard time.

View me as a source of...something. I do know a thing or two about living with pain. And I do know a thing or two about having to live that double layer of competence and struggle.
I value you. I've been looking forward to seeing you on the playa. I know that doesn't stop the pain, but I hope it can make it part of a rich life, rather than most of a painful life.
(Bah! once again I didn't express what I fcu8king wanted to.)

Hang in there, Lady. Wish we all lived closer. Hell... I wish we all had fucking pnuematic tubes to each other's locations, like at the bank but big enough to hop in and ride. Then we could all get together and help the friends that hurt maybe hurt a little less and the friends that are sad maybe a little bit happier.

Fuck, sorry to hear this. Must make preparing a bitch. But, on the positive side, you should have some relief by the time you hit the playa, no?

Re: Fuck!
Thank you all. It's fucking hard to be this close to TTITD and not be able to function at my best. I fucking hate feeling weak and powerless and I've been feeling that way a lot recently. I try to remind myself of all the positive things in my life (including all you snarky motherfuckers) and remember that I'm not always going to feel the way I do right now, but sometimes the pain gets the best of me. Today, it's kicking my fucking ass, but I know that I am loved and that I will see you guys soon.
I appreciate the support more than I have words to say.
