What's up, YMCA Toronto?!

I’m on hold with the YMCA Toronto corporate office and their hold music is a kind of country-folk song all about the YMCA.

And it’s not good at all.

So...

I was supposed to be on my way home to him tonight but WestJet had other plans. Instead, my flight out of Regina to Calgary was majorly delayed and would have made me miss the connection in Calgary to Vancouver (despite it being a two-hour flight from Regina to Vancouver, it is virtually impossible to get a direct flight there).So, WestJet rescheduled my flight to leave tomorrow at 6:55 a.m. arriving in Vancouver at 8:30 a.m.

WestJet says the delay is caused by weather, but I checked the weather around the country and it all seemed pretty normal to me. And since I’m staying with my parents in Regina, WestJet says there is nothing they can offer me in terms of compensation since this flight change won’t necessarily put me “out of pocket” financially.

To that, I say fuck you, WestJet. I may not lose money, but this is how this affects me:

• Instead of having Sunday being a really long day, Monday will now be a really long day and that is worse because on Monday, I have to WORK.
• The day becomes long starting in the morning, instead of the evening.
• I will have to go direct from the airport to work. On Friday, I left work and went straight to the airport. This will make it seem like I have no weekend.
• I am one more night without my husband.
• I get one less day between this series of flight and the next one (Nov. 29).
• I have to get up really early: 5 a.m. local time.
• 5 a.m. local time is 3 a.m. PST (my destination).
• Did I mention I have to work on Monday morning? Yeah. That would be in PST.
• I’m out of clean underwear.

So, yes, WestJet, I’m not out financially but this is certainly taxing on me personally.
