A Fitting End to This Week

I have had a completely miserable week, and just when I thought it was getting better, it got worse. I was excited about going home to Ann Arbor this weekend, so that I can leave urban nightmare of Washington DC behind. I went to check in for my flight, and was suprised when it couldn't check me in. The system told me that the name attached to my reservation wasn't mine. So I pulled up my reservation e-mail, and sure enough ... the system was right. When I booked my ticket through Northwest Airlines' computer system, it automatically filled in the name of the last person I had previously purchased a ticket for, which was a friend of mine. I didn't notice this "feature". So now I have a reservation that is completely and utterly useless, and have lost $138.

I would say, "at least I have my health". Unfortunately, I now have a cold, so it puts the icing on the cake for the week.
