Even though I still have great animosity towards Mary and I am still peeved about the cancelled flight and non-apologetic tone of the people at the gate when they did cancel my flight, American Airlines does have some kind and responsible employees.
I got a call yesterday from the pilot that flew me from D.C. to St. Louis. (I assuming he is a pilot. He referred to himself as “The Captain”. I guess he could just be a flight attendant with a really funny nickname that speaks about himself in third person.)
The Captain said that he found my drivers license on the plane.
I wish I had written down his name. I would tell you how wonderful he was.
He is sending me my drivers license.
Customer service is not dead. I mean – it is in the customer service industry, but some professionals still care.
(ps – I am sitting next to Bossy as I write this, and you are not. Well, unless you are Jessica and then you are too, but the rest of you aren’t.)

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I see good things happening. May good karma go back to “the Captain”.

Sorry we didn’t get to fly together to BlogHer as planned, but I am SOOO happy I finally got to meet you. I know … since we live so close, I really had no excuse. But it was fun!

Jesus Christ on Buttered Toast, humanity does exist. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear about these acts of kindness.

Good to hear you (and your DL) made it home after BlogHer. It was really nice to meet you at the conference and I appreciate my nifty new bottle opener. Hurray for cool swag!

Was she really “all mean and crap?” I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and found it funny, and assumed she meant it the same way. I guess that’s why people think I’m a bitch while I think I’m freakin’ hysterical.
