I can handle a mess on Monday when I'm just trying to get back home to go to work. But if I miss the football game I'm planning to attend on Sunday, I'm gonna be jacked.

One in Tampa, perhaps?? ;)

Have a great time there!

Week 12 of (almost) daily calling about KE reward availability has produced no changes. :(

I had no idea my Fútbol-themed FCT Duck was worth so much.

And speaking of that lovely West Texas city, my last scheduled work trip there is coming up next week. That's not to say I won't be back there for work, but after next week, I don't have any trips scheduled there.

Of course I'd rather be other places but that's what last weekend (PTY) and this weekend (FLL) are for. It actually works out perfect because we are putting the house on the market tomorrow. I also had new carpet installed last weekend and I havent seen the house in over a year.

I am trying my bump running idea again tomorrow. ATL-HSV at 1:15, the next 5 flights are oversold after it.

Sometimes I hate the fact that I'm too good at my job. Ever since I got a reputation for turning around problem projects I seem to get the challenging clients. And right now I really am a little tired of having nothing but the challenging clients. I'd do almost anything for a place that's simple and easy right now — and doesn't have a few hundred people who've been dead for years still sitting in their legacy HR/payroll system with active jobs and active benefits. Working in L:rolleyes:uisiana is oh so much fun. :rolleyes:

My buddy the chef arrived in TPA today to participate in the Taste of the NFL benefit on Saturday. Quite the honor and he is extremely excited!

It sounds like your want that "perfect" job that was all over the internet on that island in Australia?

I got the reputation of being able to deal with the difficult clients or difficult people insdie the company so I'd get stuck with them. They'd be fire and brim stone with everyone else but not with me. I think it's because they can't get me jacked up over things and they learn very quickly that calm and cool works better. Now that doesn't mean I don't curse up a major storm when I get e-mails from them.

I feel the pain. I've been thrown into "fire fighting" gigs for the last eighteen months. I miss the days of when the gigs would be easy and I come and go as I pleased since the customers were all so cool.

Sad part is that most of the fire fighting is occuring since i have to go clean up after my coworkers.

I just thought about something, that party flight do the DO, it may be really dull, I think the few that get upgraded are going to drink the carts dry.

Need to ensure catering has it well STOCKED for all those certs that will be flying! Anyone know someone at chealsea they can contact to have an extra tray of minis on each cart?

One might ponder BYOM just in case.

You actually believe that's real?!?! Probably some bored late teen/twenty-something who wrote it.
