Delta, Delta, Delta, Can we help ya, help ya, help ya

I believe I spoke with, quite possibly, the dimmest clerk alive last night. I called to ask whether any of the earlier flights to Reno had seats available so I could see about flying standby.

Clerk: What’s Standby?
Me: :duh: (slaps head against desk) It’s where you check and see about getting on an earlier flight the day of travel.
Clerk: Would you like me to price an earlier flight for you?
Me: :banghead: No, I want to see if there are any seats available on the flight from Salt Lake City to Reno.
Clerk: Yes, there are seats available from Dulles to Salt Lake City on the 7:55 flight.
Me: (resists the urge to slap the clerk silly):fryingpan: Are there seats on the flight from Salt Lake City?
Her: Would you like me to price that for you?
:angry:

It went downhill from there. But if all goes well, I may catch an earlier flight which will give me more time to enjoy the conference. Hope so! :headspin:

P.S.–Have you ever noticed how airplanes and hotels are FREEZING inside while outside it’s usually sweltering? It’s impossible to know what to wear.
