I just read the Wikipedia article on said creatures. Apparently a baby echidna is called a puggle. Cute.

I also learned a couple distinctly LESS cute things about the male of the species... :eek:

Isn't that true of all males of all species!! :0

Very cool! :cool:

That's how I roll. Haven't bought a personal plane ticket in several years.

Work expenses (through AX MR points) also finance swag. In the last 3 years, I've bought a snowblower, some WiFi gear, and a netbook.

Yes, I am jealous!

They're not quite that bad. And when it comes to Marriott's lower-end brands, the bedding at Fairfields and SpringHill Suites makes Courtyard's look generous. I tend to stick to full service Marriott and Renaissance properties with them because of that. I once nearly froze to death in Minneapolis during the middle of winter because a Fairfield I was in had the equivalent of three sheets on the bed and nothing more.

Anyone doing that god awful 5:45 am LGA-IAH flight that does not really leave until 6:00 am on Wednesday?

I was scheduled for the 7:30 and SDC to the 5:45 that left almost 5 min late with me in F :D was a very nice flight.

But I can imagine if you normally have to fly out of LGA, it would be :rolleyes:

Good Morning Box.

So I have some good news to share with you all... the promotion came through (in writing), which brought with it a substantial raise :) And,in the same letter, I got the figure for the 2009 bonus - I was stunned at the amount (more than double what I was told it would be). All-in-all, a pretty good week in that regards. :)

And it looks like I'll be traveling to NJ at least for the next four weeks, so hopefully once I get into a groove, I'll see if we can arrange for drinks somewhere.

Happy Friday! :-:

Very nice! Congrats! ^

I'm only about 10 minutes from the Marriott it sounded like you'd be staying at, so let me know and I should be able to make it!

They're these little pieces of papers with numbers on them. Said numbers are calculated by those skilled in the Dark Arts.

I agree... I feel I got into the wrong industry!!

Purchased a reward reservation this morning, and there's some weirdness with the way *A partner flights are displaying aircraft, meals, etc.

Mmmm... Numbers is tasty! :D
