No, your too tight diamond shoes gave you pad thai!
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At my first job I encountered resistance, but that was aimed at all the women there, not just in IT. Since I left in 1993, I've been pretty free and clear, at least to my face. Worked with, for, and over a number of women during the whole time.
My big issue with the ticketing sites is that they present you with fare results from a specific search, and then tell you after you click through that they aren't available. What the hell is searching supposed to accomplish?
I bitched at Travelocity because of it--they were sending me low-cost ticket notifications, and presenting me with a range of dates I had to winnow down one by one. After about 10 (look at my near-infinite patience) failed attempts, I had to fire off a bitching email.
Their justification was weak and insufficient.

I'm partial to Orbitz because it will search all NYC area airports at once.

sarameg, my sister! I am so there right now! Come, sit, we shall be cranky and frustrated together.

ita, that's just the sort of thing I encountered with travelocity. Except more I pick my supposed flights and suddenly at the very end, they go whoops! Not available except at $400 more!
Which is just insane.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have an interview tomorrow. With four people. For a position I'm not nearly technical enough for. Woe.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I read recently that the Wednesday thing is no longer true: [link]
FWIW, sarameg, I couldn't find a fare NY to Phoenix under $500 after checking every day for two weeks-- that's over $200 more than usual. So I am guessing demand for certain dates is really high this year. I ended up surrendering my FF miles at a premium.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I found out this morning that my office mate/direct report is leaving! Woe! Although, it was kind of a trip to be the boss when the employee is suddenly all scared to talk to you -- I've never been on this side of it. But, the fact is, I've been kind of holding my breath waiting for her to leave since I started here, so good for her and all that, but still!
