Why am I not surprised. :rolleyes:
monitor (and anyone else), I'll be free Saturday evening. PM/email me.

Contrary to popular :rolleyes:, I do work. Unfortunately I have back to back meetings and then am heading back to Nuevo York.

:rolleyes:

Das ist nicht gut. Kein frei bier? Viva Revolution!

(be:rolleyes:. HAH!)

I think they unloaded it and/or the attached hotel closed. Last time I drove by it the landscaping was in some pretty sorry shape. My contact at the company is the biz development guy, thanks to a guest lecture he gave way back when I was still a gregarious student of hospitality.

One week into a 6-month balance transfer, and the tip jar tells me that I'm almost 7% paid off.

With that, it's time to leave early and defend against the evils of 95 South.

The Smithsonian Institute just called my room at the Hampton. They'd like to know when they can retrieve the TV for their "ancient forms of communication" exhibition.

This thing is a freaking boat anchor.

The UA agents at EWR seem very friendly.

United F score!

Not to sound ungreatful, but UA F seems a little underwhelming. The seats feel small, narrow and cramped.

What aircraft type? My biggest problem with the UA F seats is that even fully upright they are somewhat reclined and the headrest digs into my back something awful while fully down. And most of their FAs insist that it must be fully down for takeoff and landing.

I don't care how new they are. They are still jeans. Business casual doesn't involve anything less than slacks and a button-down shirt in my world.

UA279. I think this is an A319 or A320. I am not positive.

The seat is somewhat reclined when in the upright position and the headrest is uner my shoulders so it feels very uncomfortable.

Enjoy your can of pasta. :-:

Sounds about right. I wouldn't call them narrow, but otherwise your assessment matches mine pretty much. I'm not a huge fan. Better than a poke in the eye, but not a great seat IMO.

The great thing about my job is that a button-down is considered dressing up. When you work in food plants, they don't want you wearing things that can fall off (ie, buttons), especially when they won't get picked up going through the metal detectors. Also, no pockets allowed over waist level. If I wear buttons, I get to add a snap-front lab coat to my outfit.

So, my usual workday clothes are a polo shirt (either sans buttons or with snaps in lieu of buttons) and khakis (usually of the more ruggedized style). That, plus added gear when I'm out on the plant floor - earplugs, hair net, safety glasses always, hard hat sometimes.

Heh, when I was in SAN, business casual was defined as anything not in shorts. I knew senior managers that wore shorts, sandals, and a Hawaiian shirt to work every day. Ah, memories...

Sure, but I wouldn't call that business casual. ;)

My workday outfits are very casual if I'm not visiting clients but I don't classify them as anything but casual.

Morning Box!

Time for some catching up out in the main forum... I see there are lots of shiny new threads.

Had a couple of new meals on CO this weekend, including a chicken breast stuffed with herbs and a type of cheese (I'm thinking feta). It was a little bland (ALCO agrees I believe) but with a little tweaking could be really good.

The curried chicken dish is definitely worth a try as well.

The one thing that's new is the baby mozarella cheese balls in the salad. Those get a ^
