A Short Note About Booking Accommodation...

If you reply to my enquiry with:

Dear Catherine,
Thanks for the email.
We do have an Ensuite Cabin with air-con available for the Sat & Sunday nights for a total tariff of $230 for 2 persons.
If you require any further information or wish to made a reservation, please call our helpful reception staff during office hours on our free call number.
Kind regards,
Loneen

Easts Beach Holiday Park Kiama
"Where great memories are a holiday away”

I should not have to reply with:

Dear Loneen,
I was sorry to hear from the helpful reception staff that it's not available after all, as you apparently don't make Sat/Sun night bookings, preferring instead to keep them free for Fri/Sat nights.
Thank you for your time,
Catherine

Honestly, Easts Beach? That's just cruel, and what the hell? You don't want my business? Even though the cabin is available and empty? On the off-chance that someone else might want it on both Friday and Saturday night?

Fine.

There are plenty of other places around there that actually want my money. I'll stay at one of them, I'm sure the customer service will be better.

To prove that there's more to life than complaining, have a couple more fics to read:

• His Dark Materials: The Teethmarks of Time by Thevina - Will's life after the adventures of the books. Poignant, it made me cry.
• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: Like Love in the Movies by Jan - "In which Kyon's life becomes an indie movie. Sort of." Love it. Kyon's voice is just perfect, I love the way he shrugs off all the weirdness around him.
• Titanic: The Last Dance by shewhoguards - The band played on.
