I'd never be able to give blood for $75. As previously mentioned, I hate needles.

I know it's a legitimate fear, but I (personally) don't understand it.

It's a small prick, what's the big deal (that's what she said)? Worst case scenario is you'll just get a hefty bruise for a couple days.

Apparently I passed the overnight, as they just came to check all my connections and prep me for whatever the next phase is. I believe now is when I have to not nap during 4 different nap tests.

It's definitely not the pain - I agree, it's a small prick. It's not the blood either - I was fine when I stood in on the quadruple bypass over the summer. For whatever reason, it's just mental. Even the site of a blood drive can sometimes get me feeling a little light headed. :o

Morning Box,

the strangest thing happend this weekend, I had 4 flights. ALL of the were early, I know there they pad the schedules but this was crazy. I got home last night on a flight from DTW 40minutes early!!

Also to make it even more strange of the 2 flights I could be upgraded on, I got both :eek: for a sliver not bad, I am now at a 50% EUA. The only catch is that I flew on NWA not CO (FYI which for every announcment I heard they called themselves NWA now apart of Delta and most of the FAs I spoke to are happy about the merger).

Tagging flickr photos is a pain. I should have done this when I uploaded them all. :mad:

Does anyone have any recommendations on a Mac based flickr program for uploads?

Fair enough. I feel the same way about clowns, peacocks, and mariachi bands.

CO came through last night. LGA-IAH flight swapped to a 733 from a 735, and I snagged the last F seat. The cheesecake was actually pretty good on yesterday's flight (had some funky ones, lately). ^

Flickr Uploadr: http://flickr.com/tools/

Flickr has also fixed their API so that if you e-mail a photo from your iPhone the EXIF data sticks to it.

A Chautauqua flight made an emergency landing at IAH due to reports of smoke in the cabin.

Morning Box.

I thought I was going to get this week off from work, but a client's been e-mailing me nonstop all weekend and again this morning. Oh well. At least I can work from home today and tomorrow morning.

My partner flies to MAD tonight. I'm still jealous.

Huh. No surprise there. Wonder which registration number it was? Maybe it was the really busted up CRJ I flew on last Monday and again Friday that had multiple problems preventing it from flying on Friday morning?

Congrats on that upgrade!

You're the resident Tundra-Jet Expert. Which seat in F on a NW CR9?

I was No. 6 on the list (with two already upgraded) on what was originally scheduled to be a 735. I thought "no way in Hell..."
