I screwed up

[dagibbs]

I missed my flight out of Geneva. It was late, and I didn't understand how they were posting the flights, so I screwed up. Extra night in Geneva, probably back to Montreal midnight or so tomorrow. Ugh.

I am teh dumb.

Oh no! Although "stuck in Geneva" sounds awfully romantic, I feel for ya.

It does sound far more romantic than it actually is. If you look, instead, at it being 30+ hours and several hundred dollars late getting home, though, it sounds less romantic.

Still, just had a long hot shower, and feeling better.

But years from now, will you remember that several hundred dollars?

When I came back from England, I had thought I'd sell the horse and have a few hundred or a thousand dollars in my pocket. Didn't sell the horse, didn't have the money, in the end I never went hungry or homeless.

It's nice to be in a position where mistakes are just money. Annoying, but not terrible.

Hope you're making the best of it.

The few hundred dollars are, as you say, an annoyance.

Wasting the day of time, missing a chunk of Worldcon, missing people, missing seeing someone last night I wanted to see, and being annoyed at my stupidity are all worse.

Sympathies... don't miss the next one!

Won't make the same mistake.

Yurg! That sucks, financially and otherwise. Hope you manage(d) to get a good night's sleep and smooth travelling from here on...

I can survive the financial -- money isn't tight for me right now.

I did get a good night's sleep...was so tired I fell asleep without even remembering to turn the light off.

There are more hiccouphs in the travel... but they will be resolved in North America. :)
