Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. [View all]

Today I learned that the hotel at which I made a reservation for my birthday (tomorrow - the 22nd) used my debit card to reserve my reservation - not to use it for payment. I could beat my head against the wall.

We now lack the money to pay for our single-night reservation. Not only that, but if we cancel, we still owe the price of our room.

It was to have been a quiet evening, with restful sleep, and a quiet morning with breakfast from room service.

I don't know how we'll celebrate now. I don't want a party: the whole point of escaping to a hotel was for peace and quiet. I love my roommates but peace and quiet are nice. (They probably wish the same from us.)

So, if you will, please wish me a birthday of peace and quiet.
