Huge paycut from Philly, but the cost of living isn't too bad here. Plus, w/ the wife's pay, we can manage it. No more flying for nothing or MRs though. :(

Congrats on the job! Too bad about the no flying though.

Saw on the news earlier, Obama leaving DCA on an AA MD-80, I believe. Chartered? AA has spare planes?

Everyone's got spare planes these days. That's what happens when you cut 10% of the service in the country across a couple months.

Dang, that's a total bummer. The good news is that I imagine that opens the possibility of moving.

Sorry to hear about that Mike.:td:

On the plus side, I just had dinner with my company at Rosa Mexicana on 58th and 1st and it was freakin AMAZING.

Indeed it does. Resumes of mine are already in at openings in FLL, MIA, and ATL. The PHL networking starts tomorrow, as does NYC.

I like Rosa very much. It took me three tries to get my 'rita last time, but other than that, YUMMY!

I never expected #13,000 to come so quickly. The 1000+ in the whoring thread certainly helped. :p

Eh, I've been to Rosa a few times in Atlanta. Maybe it's better in NYC, but I wasn't that impressed.

It wasn't bad at all. But not nearly up to the level I'm used to at some of my favorite places in Texas.

The guacamole made table-side was excellent though.

Concierge Mike, I'm so sorry to hear that, especially coming on the heals of your layoff. My thoughts are with you guys. I know it's tough, but have faith and hang in there and you'll make it!

Congrats on both accounts photog72!
