Gulp
It was one of those moments - I had been in the server room, and meanwhile I had received a call on my mobile. I checked my voicemail, and it was from the company we had purchased the tickets to Toronto with, saying that they needed to talk to me about the trip. Heart rate up, sweating - oh my goddess, what's wrong, what's wrong...
So I call them back and it takes the guy forever to dig up my details, and when he finally gets them he says: "Oh yes, we'd just like to confirm the flights with you". Well, he did mention the word security but he didn't actually want to ask me anything, just tell me what I already knew which was when the flights were.
But after that came the real reason he called.
"Ma'am, we have very good rates for hotels and car hire, would you like me to quote you some figures?"
Ah. I see.
