I had to book my flights to San Fran to head off with the guys from PaddysValley in December so I booked my flights last night before I headed off to Scotland (Yes I’m there now) checking up on my twitter feeds I saw Damien mention price today was around 500 euros.
I was gobsmacked. Last night they charged me 830 euros for the same flight. I went on to the Aer Lingus site and low and behold the total for the flight today is 485 euros. Flicking through their site it said you can change flights so I went and rebooked them at a different fare and they charged me 70 euros for the privilege. But of course when you read the fine print, oh if you get a lower fare we’ll hold on to your money. A big fuck you really.
How the hell does a price difference of 345 euros suddenly appear overnight. Needless to say I’m pissed at the moment.
Heh heh.
I love it.
It is nice to know even giant companies like Google do on occasion make mistakes.
Today I learnt some interesting facts.
Like I own domains like:
conorpower.name
networkinggeek.com
flying-fortress.net
And as far as I can see, they are used for pretty much nothing. So my loyal readers what do you think I should do with them?
A package fell in my door this morning
…and I found this inside!
There was also some sort of mug warmer/can chiller combo in the parcel too. Hats off to Mary!
On the off chance that anyone in a tech company reads this blog, would they be interested in hiring me? My previous employer I never heard back from and I just got an email this morning back from Microsoft saying they’ll only do one year internships for college students (or that they’ll admit, i’m sure if you knew someone they could sort you out)
Some caveat’s though (not that I want to sound ungrateful or anything)
1) I’ve already done the whole summer doing tech support thing. I’d like to get experience in other things too
2) Since I’m reliant on public transport I’m not as mobile as I’d like. I know for a fact I can get to either to the City Center or Citywest with ease.
Edit:
3) Forgot the most important one, it would be a fairly short term since I (depending on grades of course :P) hopefully would have college starting in September
