Back to work to find out more details about the "Hoteling" program which will be coming our way soon. It means you have no assigned desk, just a portable laptop, a mini-locker in the bathroom, and if you are really lucky some file space to lock up your stuff and sit in a sea of cube-farms with low partitions. It affects people in the near the 6 figure range too. Oh, joy:mad:

I am really lacking in the EQM department this year. Right now I have a paltry 25K EQM's and have qualified for silver. I will rack up another 8200~ EQM's after the SNA B up Memorial Day weekend, but I am still a far way off from my 100K goal for SWU's :(

I'm right there with you, jrzyshawn. When I was flying to DFW every week, the weekly 2K+ EQM was great. Now flying to EWR cuts that in half. Looks like there will be some required MRs for this year.

I was trying to do 25 EQM per Quarter. With the ANC runs I have coming up I will be over 75,000 EQM before June :D With my normal summer travel I will for sure hit the 100,000 mark ^

I wanted to try to get to 75k by June, and the MRs plus biz travel will get me there, plus my 2 ANC runs and other biz travel will put me over the 100K, so I can relax for the rest of the year, and only take MRs for really great deals or if my arm is twisted by folks in the box!!

Without MRs, just based on current work travel, I fully expect to hit 100K EQMs by October/November.

And then RonJon and I are looking to do the island hopper westbound with stops, all the way to ROR, then return via KIX and NRT for our annual vacation, so there's another 25K.

Disappointed that I missed out on the IAH-ANC run, maybe next time.

Never mind that the *second* flight on the itinerary has already credited, but have to wait to request the first flight.

I hate those apple type earphones. They are too big for my ears and I have to jam them in at an odd angle. After a few minutes my ears reallt start to hurt and I have to take them out.

For this MR, I snuck Mr.Brit's Bose noise cancelling headphones into my bag without asking if I could borrow them.....oops! I'm in trouble .....:p

That sounds like an awesome trip. And great to be doing it with your Dad. I'm correct in thinking that ronjon is your Dad, right?
