Been training myself to spot AI in videos. Now I can't even watch cute animals do unexpected things without scrutinizing the background for signs.
We truly can't have anything nice on this Internet.

@seejanemarie.bsky.social really enjoyed The Dream that came up in my hyperfixed feed. Great narrative journalism well done!
I wanted to say one (1) thing about your use of a content warning at the start of the EP though.

Oh, QANTAS paid me back.
I enjoyed writing my story but I no longer have the righteous anger to fuel me. Needless to say I had enough material to keep me going for a month or so, they really dicked me around.

Part 9:
With cautious optimism I set out on my quest, and dialed the Qantas help line.
I did not expect to encounter my first challenge so soon, but sure enough the voice on the line said, "if your flight is not within 24hrs, please hang up."

If you're very clever you will have already guessed what happened next:
I awoke the next morning to find just over $400nzd missing!

Ah yes. I tried again a little later with another payment method and the transaction went through.
That night I drifted peacefully off to sleep knowing that my flight was safely booked...

This day was my final chance to take advantage of a double status credits deal. I was eager not to miss out! I double checked my dates and made sure I'd be home in time for a wedding, and then confidently booked a non-refundable flight.
