And I'm Outta Here... But Not Without a Snag
At the airport, waiting to get on the big aluminum tube that will carry me to my next world for the coming weeks. Almost there!
But not without a problem first! Sitting in an online cafe right now, connected via Boingo, an online service for connecting me anywhere in this concourse. Logged into Skype to make a quick call to the lady, and saw I had no credits. 10 more Euros, please. Then I get an error: cannot process this request since I do not have an active internet connection. Say what? I'm logged in, fool! So I tried again, same message. Can not purchase.
Then! All my requests all kick in, and I've got 40 Euros ($63 USD) of credit I just bought. WTF! I don't want that much. Tried to contact their customer service, so the best I could do was fill out a service request form and now get to play the waiting game.
I guess I'll find out how great this company truly is...
