The problems are becoming more frequent and even more random. One of the complimentary upgrade settings disappeared from my reservation but all of my seat assignments now show up.

I requested a receipt this morning and it still has not come through.

LAX was a breeze yesterday and the P Club was very quiet. Hoping today is as quiet at IAH. I'm unpacking and doing laundry from the last trip while packing for our journey today. Doing carry ons only, which is very unlike me.

Agreed.

About 75% of my (professional) job requires writing that is distributed to mass audiences. It's "an essential job skill," per my job description. I'm a former (read: reformed) copywriter and I'm writing a book. In short, I fancy myself an above average writer.

Unfortunately, when I go back and re-read some of the drivel I post on FT I'm ashamed at some of the very rudimentary mistakes I make. Then I realize that it's just an internet message board and I don't care. Sometimes I'll go back and clean up my posts, most often, I don't.

I got in a fight on another internet message board* because the mods were "cleaning up" another person's posts. I cried bloody murder at "selective editing" and argued that a person's grammar/punctuation/spelling mistakes demonstrate the cognitive ability of a poster and it helps the reader put the post in a clearer context.

I'll take someone a bit more seriously if they can clearly articulate their position as opposed to someone who sounds like a raving lunatic sanding on a corner preaching that chickens are the sign of the impending apocalypse**.

By the way, my literary kryptonite is affect vs effect. You can explain it to me 1,000 times every day, but for some reason it just won't stick in my brain.

-sigh- A friend of a friend read it on the internet, it must be true.

Ah well, the $90 in Starbuck's gift cards that we received come in handy for times like these. :cool:

Just wait until they find the error and try to take it back. :p

Speaking of employers and money, a coworker once spent a minuscule amount over the per diem meal allowance (lets call is $5) and had to spend two hours figuring out which forms to fill, fill them out and write out a check to the company. :rolleyes:

My Christmas haul included two Dunkin Donuts gift cards that total $50. :cool: Now I need to get dressed and get some coffee. :o
