Well I can say that I am still working off the DO excesses to a degree. Flew out to SFO and drove to MRY for the ATT at Pebble Beach. Currently in a house in the forest having just had yet another dinner in the Chef's house full of free beer and wine and tons of food. Had a great four course meal last night at the Lodge. Of course I am working during the day in the kitchens here but then again I get paid for that too. Still trying to find the negatives. Oh yeah, the trip is a tax write off as well :cool:!

I do however look forward to returning to my house as 11 days of eating and drinking for free is a bit much. Will be nice to sleep in my own bed again. Well I better get to bed as I have to be up at 4 am and work at 5 am!

Take a step back from the crazy and get a grip on yourself. This is no time for drastic measures.

Hey, hey now. There's no need to get carried away. That's awfully close to heresy, you know.

E: Beaten by ALCO, sigh. My funny meter is not firing after an awful week at work. Can we have a DO again this weekend please?

Flights to FLL are the only ones that look like they haven't fallen off a cliff.:rolleyes:

I'm thinking of going down for July, but I don't except I'll be able to take advantage of the new Tin-UP. :rolleyes:

Ya I noticed this too my seatmap is looking pretty full on a 757-200 and -300 on return!

The S/O is on to me now :eek: it is fully known that EWR is a hub and that crap won't fly anymore.

I've had to do the EWR-IAH-AUS rt before because it worked with my schedule better than the non-stop flight. That's as good as any reason. Well the extra miles were nice too.

nothing like my next routing to FLL, AUS-EWR-FLL :D when I could go via houston, or via B6/WN direct from AUS.

I'm on call this evening. I saw the :rolleyes: signal in the sky and had to respond.

I'm having a crappy week too and I don't get paid for the stuff I'm getting crapped on. Well I did get diner for part of yesterday's aggravations.

I have an itinerary coming up that's six segments each way, BNA-ORD - 409 miles as a sane person flies - on a single ticket. And upgrades are possible on 11 of the 12 segments.

As much as I'd love to do that, my route shows up on my expense reporting, and since I report directly to the CEO...it would be some questions I don't care to answer.

Sounds like a perfect trip to me; other than the 4 am part!

Sounds ideal! Hope you get the 11 upgrades!

It's 10:14; I had one glass of champagne and am thinking of another? Box rules . . . ?????

Someone broke into a funeral home in Houston and broke windows and a herse window. :confused: I've got to change the channel from local news.
