travel follies

jayThe NASA travel office can't reserve most NYC hotels because most aren't FEMA-qualified (meeting fire safety codes), and the ones that are, don't have government rates. The usual dodge is to have the traveler book his/her own reservation directly with a non-FEMA hotel. Fine... I did that for this week.
Except that when my travel to NYC changed from tonight to Thursday night, the travel office changed everything else, but I forgot to cancel my hotel. So I'm getting personally charged $200 for a useless night's non-stay. Sigh. They wouldn't transfer it to a Thursday night stay, saying that they were sold out (although the hotel's website says that there are rooms available). Grr.
