I quit corporate a year ago. I also quit social media (besides LinkedIn since it’s shitty and not addicting), but it’s made me aware of how ridiculous all of the ”thought leaders” and their stupid posts are.

I have no plans to reenter the workforce so I really feel like posting on there just to make fun of it all.

Every post is the same. The stupid hook. (read more) Each sentence on its own line. The dumb lesson.

I’ve been thinking of posting this, what do you think?

>It all started with a BANG! Then silence…

>The runners took off, majestic in their stride.

>But not me, I stayed. I stayed and watched.

>All sprinting in the same direction. For what?

>“What’s the hurry?” I yell after them.

>I find myself laser focused on the starter with the pistol.

>“Not today!” I scream as I grab their wrist and professionally twist it out of their hands.

>It drops on the ground with a thud. The crowd gasps.

>Suddenly, it was me with the starter pistol.

>Of course, it was always me.

>I control the race.

>I am Steve.

>I am strong.

>I am LinkedIn.

In short: Back during the height of the pandemic, I booked four tickets for a Norwegian Airlines flight to Italy (May 2020). Clearly we weren't getting on the flight since Italy was ground zero v2, and so of course it was going to be cancelled (it was later on), but still panicked (since I spent almost $4k on the tickets) I called asking what to do. The customer service rep advised to cancel and they can process the refund right away.

Six months later they send an email basically saying, sorry, no refund. :)

Recently, after being screwed by another company, I decided maybe there was something I could do about Norwegian, so I filled out the small claims court process in my county and it was accepted.

The court just reached out asking for a proper address of the party. It was awhile ago, but I believe it wouldn't actually let me fill in a European address online, so I tried my best, but might've left it empty. I tried to get her to enter their corporate address in Norway, but the person at the court said it wasn't coming up.

Do I need to try another venue other than small claims? Should the court be able to take a European address?

EDIT: And before you let me know, yes I realize I shouldn't have cancelled the tickets myself, but I wasn't thinking in legalese during a worldwide pandemic. They took advantage of me, the consumer, and should pay, regardless for services not rendered. The flight never occurred.
