I'm telling you, between work and all that I do after work, I don't know whether I'm coming or going most days. As a result, I keep making mistakes...that cost me.
As I continue to prepare for my upcoming trip, I went to print out a Groupon that I purchased to be used while I'm away. I only went to print the voucher so I'd have it with me (since I don't have the app on my phone). Well...as I printed it I noticed that I had to reserve a spot for the tour that I've purchased. So I go to reserve my spot and the two days that I will be available are already booked. There's a spot for the day I arrive, but the tour begins that day 45 minutes after my plane is scheduled to land -- I wouldn't be able to make it.
Then there's a tour on Sunday, but it begins at 3:00 and wouldn't be over until 5:30, which is an hour and a half before my flight back home takes off -- I wouldn't be able to make that either considering the fact that I should be at the airport at that time.
*sigh*
It's not that I've been waiting as if I have all the time in the world, it's just that -- as I said ealier, my life is moving so quickly that as soon as I do one thing, I've gotta move on to the next. Even as I type these words, I've only been home from work for about an hour and need to leave to head to the next spot. Clearly, I need to slow down.
Anyhoo...I've emailed the company to see if there is any way possible that they can SQUEEZE me in on Friday or Saturday. I am hoping and praying that favor will fall upon me and they say yes.
Once again, as with the airline seats...LESSON LEARNED.
I almost feel like I need to book another vacation (after this one of course) just so that I can "get it right."
Not much I can do at this point but wait.
As I went to print the Groupon for my trip, I also noticed that one I purchased for Baskin Robbins is only good at a location that's FORTY FIVE MINUTES away from my home. FORTY FIVE MINUTES! Now, I like ice cream as much as the next person, but not enough to drive FORTY FIVE MINUTES for it. Yes...once again, I failed to read the "fine print."
**double sigh**
Now...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you purchased deals from Groupon before? If so, how many have your forgotten about or been unable to use?
Talk to me!
Til next time...

The money I've spent on Group on and living social deals is ridiculous! I've gotten better though. I buy with the intent to use but 90% of the time forget that I have them!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I've really gotta do better about reading "the fine print."
