Checkin in from Hastings... 66*f right now, high of 81 on tuesday. Well, where do I start?
Lets start with the flight from ORD to OMA. flight was suppose to be 1 hr 33 minutes.
My ***. The jet broke down and we had to return to the gate and wait on the maintenance crew. Oh they came, they "fixed" it, but who in their right mind would wanna ride on that jet? Good thing I'm not in my right mind. 5 hours sitting on that bitch with no A/C, packed in like sardines ta boot.
Finally got to Omaha, finally. Go to get my rental car and my company made a reservation but no one paid for it. On the phone, on the phone, on the phone.. Get it?
My company does not pay for rental's up front. And the car rental company will not take a credit card over the fone. 
Someone smarter than me should have already known this. 3 hours later it was decieded by someone that I could run my card thru the 'ol CC machine, and the company would pay be back.
I have a cc / debit card and I know I only had 400 in the checking, for my trip. Well the car rental place puts a hold, plus 20% on your money and I didn't have enough in that account to cover the 600 cha ching. I wasn't about to put money from my savings into checking to cover "their" rental obligation.
On the phone.... To make a longer story short. Someone called in a corporate limousine service.
Lord knows what that cost them. The driver was way cool. I hope he takes up back to OMA.

JDub. Sounds like your company don't have their chit together very well.! This should all be smooth sailing with NOTHING outta your pocket, but what you buy for yourself!
