Evening, Box.




Especially when they use words that defeat the purpose of employing a phonetic alphabet in the first place. Particularly :rolleyes: when they do this on the phone.

"That's S as in Sam."
"Excuse me, did you say F as in Fan."

No, no, no... if you really want to confuse 'em,
"That's S as in sea..."
"C as in cede..."
"A as in aisle..."
"E as in eh..."
"H as in hour..."
"J as in Juan..."
"Q as in ?que?"

Four weedings - are those dandelions getting to you?:rolleyes:

Can you make one of those tables with weighted number for all the variables and come up with a score?

If I have trouble making it clear I use naughty works and they always get it right!

Then why the foxtrot did you call????:mad: Thanks; this is how I wanted to spend an hour tonight:rolleyes:

Third person was a charm. I will quit whining; they took almost $500 off my bill. ^

I dreamed last night that I was routed through South Africa for a flight from Asia. Nice dream; then I woke up :(

Hi box!

I hardly ever post here but im so damn frustrated that I just need to vent and I didn't want to be "that guy" that started a random thread complaining about everything Continental does.

My partner has been gone on a biz trip for a month and is on his way home from SFO. The weather in IAH apparently sucks tonight and CO cancelled his barbie jet ride tonight into CHS. Problem is, no seats available to CHS until Wednesday. Try to getting to EWR and agent says no seats until Monday.
When will CO realize that we have demand for a big jet instead of all these regionals that come in here booked almost every day except mid week? And if one cancels, well, you are just screwed for days.

I guess I am just frustrated for him. The service he is receiving at the airport seems to have been fabulous but im just freakin' throwing my hands up in the air that CO can't throw a big bird our way once in awhile.....UGH

I was going to suggest random airports nearby but it seems you have them covered. A fellow BOXer is dealing with flight delays MEM-IAH tonight. She is on the much delayed flight MEM-IAH and will have to change tickets once on the ground at IAH!!

It was high because we had three phones in China/Hong Kong which pushed the bill a bit high :o

Let's just say it wasn't my highest bill . . .

I was wondering the same. I have 3 on my plan for $111/mo but we don't have the data plan. I guess that's big bucks:rolleyes:
