waiting for southwest

ok, so there are great benefits to having my southwest visa, like not having to pay more than $10 for a flight in more than two years, including the flights booked for jackson... if only i could pay rent and the car payment on the card, i'd have a ton more free flights, but that's an unfortunate side note... i've been on hold for more than a half hour (at least) waiting to talk to someone about changing my flight... maybe if i didn't press the prompt for change a flight someone would have come on long ago... the thing is, i am not finding a sure way of making the change on line... i can cancle the current flights, but the site says i can't use the points i'd get back right away so i can't guarantee i'd get the other flight i want... and i have to change one ticket at a time, so i can't guarantee my ticket change would happen as i want it to after i change jackson's flight... so i am waiting to talk to someone who can assure me that the flight change can happen without a hitch... so here we sit listening to a monotonous recording over and over... thank goodness for speaker phones and power cords and patience... the change makes sense... it saves time, money, and more... a lot, actually... so i shall wait and hope it happens...

phenomenally, or something like that, it's a half hour later than it was when i finished the last paragraph which was thirty five minutes after i first called southwest... they are obviously bust or they want to discourage flight changes... but i have a power cord to keep my phone charged so i wait... and wait... and i could have typed wait a few thousand times, at least, but the good news is that when i finally got a human voice on the other end, everything worked out great... i switched flights and car rentals and saved money and everything is good...

wasn't that exciting?...

me neither...
