Amtrak is on crack. No two ways about it. I thought under their new leadership the company was supposed to be whipped into shape. Sadly my issues getting tickets today prove they are still fucked up in their own special little ways.
The back story... My parents call yesterday and let me know that we're having Thanksgiving at my Grandfathers and I need to be there.
So this morning I go to Amtrak's website and try to get a ticket for the 21st to PDX and it gives me tickets for the 22nd (which I didn't notice the date difference) and bought. So I go back and look and sure enough, it says it can't find me a seat on the 21st. Crap. So I try the 20th and it says it can't find me tickets on the 20th, but then says, "here, we have these tickets availabe on the 21st." WTF? It just told me it had no seats available on the 21st!
So, in the end, I got the right day, but damn, what a fucked up system.
