Fingers crossed for you, shrift!
So, appraisal guy was supposed to show up at 11AM. At 11:10, I called him (thinking maybe he was in traffic or having trouble parking), and he first said "No, we're at noon!" and then clarified "you're on 59th street, right?" Uh, no. So then he couldn't find me. I was like 'Dude, YOU left a VM for ME, we set this up a week and a half ago??" Finally he found it, realized it was his bad...and was like 'Uh, crap, I'm getting in the car now". He's 45 minutes away. I'm guessing he's not making his noon appointment?? Grrrr
I would also like a basket of kittens. It is not yet kitten season, however, so even though I'm home for a couple weeks, there are no kittens to foster.
They want to charge me $750+ to change my flight to Saturday morning. I could get the $200 change fee of that refunded possibly, but I guess I'll be cancelling the flight.
fuckity shrift, I'm sorry. That sucks.
shrift, did you tell them it was for a funeral? I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not. Will you get your money back for cancelling?
What does "meteorological Spring" mean?
Meteorologists generally consider Winter to be Dec. 1st to Feb. 28, Spring to be March 1 to May 31, etc. I like it because it cheers me up at this time of year.
I am opposed to Daylight Savings time starting before the equinox. Who thought that was a good idea?
Congress. Because they thought there should be at least one thing that would conserve energy in the energy bill they passed in the aughts. But apparently it doesn't really conserve energy,but just produces annoyance.
Bah, That seems unreasonable. I'm sorry shrift.

Why do they do that?
From what I understand, DST in general does not conserve energy, but even ignoring that how much thought does it take to realize that moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening could only be helpful if there are surplus morning daylight hours? And that before the spring equinox there's no surplus daylight?
Not quite as stupid as wanting pregnant women to swallow cameras to get a look inside the uterus, I suppose, but stupid enough to aggravate me.
shrift, did you tell them it was for a funeral?
I did, but apparently that still means you're expected to pay for the ticket difference if you change your flight.
I have to file an extenuating circumstances refund request to get a refund of the original ticket.
