Airlines that can't talk to each other suck donkey balls

Sunday.  4th.  Posting early.. and for the last time in a while probably.  Leftover roast pork for dinner.  Finished Super Cub which was really sweet.

Monday.  Slept like crap.  Awake from like two til four.  Zombie Day.  More fighting with the proxies.  Wardie tried a different upgrade in test but that didn't help.  Gave up trying to get Eudora working on the laptop, and installed Thunderbird instead.  But I still needed Eudora on here because the mailbox file format is different and the indexing wouldn't work properly.

Tuesday.  Slept better.  Late morning Stu got SICK!!  No idea what from.  Most likely the oat milk he'd had open for longer than it should have been.  Smelt ok and hadn't gone gluggy though. Strange.  It was in the 48 hour window for flight checkins, but Emirates said the live chat was unavailable. Sigh.  

I'm going to miss Floriade this year :(:(:(

Wednesday.  Today.  Took me til after 11 last night to get to sleep.  But then slept ok.  Tried to check in to flights tomorrow.  Qantas said: Online checkin is unavailable for this flight. Please check-in at the airport.  Emirates said:  "Warning:  Sorry, you can't check in online as you`re either connecting from another flight or another airline, or your flight is not currently open for check-in. Please check in at the airport or try again later."

Seat selection was still broken too.  Emirates said "Seat selection isn't available for sectors operated by other carriers." Qantas said "Individual seat selection isn't available for this flight.".  You both suck donkey balls. Emirates web chat doesn't work "We're sorry, Live chat is currently unavailable. We are currently experiencing a large volume of calls and chat. Please refer to the alternative suggestions above, we're sorry for any inconvenience caused."

Sigh.

So a pretty disjointed morning and I couldn't concentrate on anything much.  And now my story continues here..
