Okay, so since Friday I have been trying to make my travel arrangements for Chicago for this next week. Only this next one, the rest I'll make when I'm out there and actually know whats going on. Until this morning its been the whole I make travel arrangments, get no email, call, learn that someone cancelled, remake the travel arrangements, get no email, call, learn that my previous arrangements actually went through with another department of american express travel and will get an email shortly,cancel the second arrangements, get no email, check personal debit card- realize that southwest is charging $377 for the cancelled flights (even though only one $100 flight was non refundable), call- finally get someone who knows what the hell they are talking about, get confirmation finally on the flight and hotel plans, learn that southwest is reimbursing me for the $377 charge (thank god), and finally get the email. Sigh. Needless to say as soon as I can I'm booking everything else on my own via the american express kraft travel site. This whole taking almost a full week to book drove me nuts.
Oh- and I dont get $60/day per diem for food- I get to expense it. Which sucks ass cause I'd be getting at least an extra $20/day. But apparently its illegal to charge for lodging and not for food. Its either per diem for both or expense it for both. But it could be worse, if I had to expense it, I'd have to pay out of pocket for all travel stuff. C'est la vie. I need to finish packing and start cleaning up around here. I'd rather leave a halfway clean room and bathroom to come home to than a crappy messy one.
On the plus side I get to expense my long term parking!
