I spent part of the afternoon playing e-mail tag with my travel agent in an effort to get my itinerary for tomorrow. Flight numbers tend to be helpful for travel. She called my cell phone while I was in the shower and left a message asking if I'd received her e-mail. I tied my wet hair back in a ponytail and checked my e-mail. Nope.

No, sorry, no itinerary. Please re-send. Thanks.

Hi. Make sure to print your itinerary. Call with any problems. Have a good time and happy Thanksgiving.

Is the itinerary coming in a separate e-mail? Please advise. Thanks and happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

I sent you the itinerary 2 different ways. You can use either one.

I'm sorry, I have not received one itinerary, let alone two. I have received your e-mails, but no itinerary. I just need flight numbers...

I sent it to the e-mail you gave me before. Here it is again.

Hi. Thanks for your persistence. I'm all set.

I still haven't figured out where the other copies of the itinerary could be. Maybe they're with all those missing socks and Bic lighters.

And I can't stall any longer. Up and at 'em, kid.
