where were we? right. socializing, arranging a refund, and gym.

The good stuff: last night, cattitude and I had dinner with roadnotes. We caught each other up on our lives: this was mostly me telling Roadnotes about the trip to England, and a little about rysmiel's visit here, and her telling me what's going on with her and baldanders. Cattitude is mostly having a quiet life right now, which suits.

I spent a lot of time yesterday and today on the phone either talking to people at Delta Airlines, or waiting on hold for the chance to do so, in order to get the refund for the ticket I didn't use because they'd misbooked it and cancel and rebook was, I was assured on March 5, the best way to do this. I think it's all sorted out now. It is supposed to be five to seven business days, and the woman in refunds who I spoke to twice (sheer chance that I got her both times) said she would check into it next Friday. If the refund hasn't processed by then, I'm disputing the charge with my credit card company. All this time on the phone and on hold did not improve my productivity, and I still have looming deadlines.

I went to the gym after work, but it was a brief workout, in part because I was feeling damp and uninspired, which inclined me to react to both joint pain and muscle aches by stopping instead of going and doing a different exercise.

We're still waiting for a refund for pokershaman's nonexistent flight to Haiti on 2/16, which Delta apparently booked knowing full well that it was unlikely to fly. I think they're supporting themselves on unreturned refunds.

The official line from the people on the phone is that the refund center is behind because there were so many weather-related cancellations this winter.

This sounds very similar, in effect, to your hypothesis.
