Who's in charge here?

I'd like to file a complaint with whoever is in charge here.

Whoever thought it would be a great idea to take a direct flight to Houston obviously never considered:

1. that direct does not mean non-stop
2. that stops without changing planes means you stay on the plane (go figure)
3. that staying on the plane means no grabbing a bite to eat (and 12 mini-packages of peanuts do not constitute a meal)
4. that two stops from Reno to Houston makes for a very long time stuck on a plane, especially with a squirmy, active, impatient 9 month old

(On a brighter note, direct flights do guarantee you don't miss any connecting flights . . . which we would have considering the delays we faced today.)


Whoever thought that short-term child care is always available at MD Anderson obviously never considered:

1. that changes to that service would be posted on the website (no need to look when you already know how it works)
2. that the hospital would be totally closed to children under age 12 because of the threat of H1N1 (like they can't even walk in the door)
3. that because of the threat of H1N1, the two short-term child care centers would be closed until further notice


Whoever is in charge needs to be demoted, that's for sure.
