Northwest sucks

I was supposed to fly on Northwest from Seattle to Detroit tonight at 6:15pm. Around noon Ming called to tell me that the flight had been canceled due to lack of flight crew. At 3pm I still hadn’t heard from Northwest so I checked my reservation to see that they had booked me on a new flight leaving Seattle on Saturday and arriving in Detroit at 8pm (the wedding I’m flying to Detroit for is at 4pm in Windsor.) I called and after 30 minutes on hold and them trying to route me through places like Atlanta and I got them to book me on a red eye tonight with a 30 minute layover in Minneapolis. Let’s hope I make that connection because I wouldn’t have made it if I had flown today as the redeye was an hour late.

Time for an iPhone!?

Ahhh, a bunch of keys on my Motorola Q have stopped working (the up key, the ‘ok’ key, and right context sensitive one.) I can’t live without my phone! I wanted to wait until the iPhone supported syncing with Microsoft Exchange but maybe I’ll have to buy one now.
