I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to be sitting in the airport in Cancun for a loooong time.

Ok, so I'm going to Cozumel, right on the heels of Tropical Storm Claudette, flying through (where else?) southern Texas on the same day Claudette is supposed to be hurricaning through there.  Continental Airlines is not anticipating any problems with its flights from tucson to houston, or from houston to cancun.

However, aeromexico is not even registering the existence of my flight from cancun to cozumel.  It registers a bunch of stuff with the same flight number, and a couple other CUN-CZM flights...but not the one i have a ticket for.

CRAP!

Of course, AeroMexico is well-known to be somewhat inept.  But you'd think they'd have improved in the last twenty years...

Ok, I officially hate credit card companies.  All I wanted was a (slightly) higher credit limit, so I can afford groceries AND gas, and to have it be under my OWN name, not my parents', so I can start building my own credit.  And so, before I knew it, the stupid company cancelled my current card and sent me to talk to people about applying for a new one.  I figured this would be no problem; i've always paid my bills on time and in full and I've never gone over my limit...of course, they don't ask things like that.  No.  They ask what your job is and what your income is.  I have neither.  I am a dependent.  I live off my parents.  But the lady I was talking to said if i gave the amount of money my parents give me for an allowance, there would be no way I'd be approved.  So, since they were asking about household income, I gave my parents' income.  So here's this application that says unemployed and making this astronomical sum a year.  Yeah, that's gonna be approved.  Right.  More likely they'll alert the authorities to the possibility of a really stupid drug dealer or something, because of course "full-time student living off her parents" is not one of the options for job and income.  So I am creditless.  And that's pissing me off.  Cause i hate using my debit card, cause i'm anal about writing every transaction with the bank in my check register, which means every single time i use the debit card i have to drag the stupid thing out and write in it.  Stupid credit card companies.

Ok, done ranting.
