Never forget to check the dates of your hotel booking when that confirmation drops in your inbox. BCD screwed me this week, felt homeless tbh - but survived tho. #LessonLearnt #ErrydayImHustling

BCD has been shit recently. They totally fucked your a simple flight change this week with a duplicate booking. I've never lost my temper before but did this week with the asshole who told me it was AA's problem and to call them (he was wrong). If you get a guy with a British accent, hang up right away and save yourself the frustration.

You don't book yourself?

D2 - this was my first and last time trying to book over phone. What a disaster!

@A1 sadly it wasnt for me

Booked my flight the wrong week to Rochester, did not know until I got to the kiosk. No seats left to Rochester, had to fly to Buffalo late. Rental car counter was closed and rideshare was still outlawed in NY, had to take a cab...For $225. Got 4 hrs sleep, kicked off the 2nd biggest project in company history as a fill-in with 1 hr prep after kicking off #1 properly on the west coast the prior week. That's when I knew I could do this job.

You just call them back and they fix it, I love using them.

Hello Everyone, i am working as a contractor with ZS and now i wanted to come to zs office. Will ZS reimburse all my expenses including travel and stay for a month.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
