owlectomyMy sister is going to a marathon in Washington, D.C. next weekend!
I decided to also go! (Well, spectating rather than running. But hey, it's a rock and roll marathon! Also I guess there are museums there?)
And just as I was booking train tickets the web site crashed. And remained crashed. Since Amtrak charged my credit card I'm rather reluctant to rebuy the tickets, but I don't have any confirmation that they got bought...
So I called, and got told there was a 39-minute wait to speak to a person; and I emailed, and have not had any kind of response after two hours; and I tweeted, and got a terse response that emails are answered in the order received.
I love trains. If you can make me hate trains, you are doing it wrong.
Edit: I called them up and it actually took about five minutes for it to be resolved very politely. It would help if I didn't work in a basement that didn't get cell reception.
