Need some sun now!

The technology "integration" between DL and NW has made the websites and kiosks for both airlines so much worse than before. It should not take me trying three times at a kiosk and a DL Sky Club agent trying four times to get DL's system to print me the boarding passes for an ATL-DTW-FWA itinerary. What's really ridiculous is that I'm at ATL waiting on a DL-operated flight, and the machines would only print a boarding pass for the DTW-FWA flight operated by NW, as well as a connection card telling me I had to check in with NW at DTW because DL could not print me a boarding pass for the second flight. After all that I finally have a boarding pass for the ATL-DTW flight. The Sky Club agent was really annoyed by this and almost resorted to calling someone for help. She said I was checked in just fine, and the records were all in sync, but for some reason no computer at ATL wanted to print that boarding pass.

Anyway I'm happy now. And the later DTW-FWA flight is wide open, with nobody in the exit row, so odds are I'll eventually get to DTW and have my pick of seats once I miss my connection there.

In related news, MSP is devoid of all signs that NW ever existed there. :(

Um, why are half of DL's Sky Club employees today wearing T-Shirts? They look like c@rp.

Any slogans on the T-shirts or are they just plain? Maybe they don't have their new uniforms? Protesting the disappearance of NW?

I want to cry. My presentation is coming in 1 hour too short. How do I drag at least 45 more minutes out of it? Hopefully everyone is chatty and that will slow me down.

Poor you! Maybe you could put in a lot of basic 'filler' & reference related, but non-specific, info. to stretch it out, as well as adding more detailed explanation to the critical stuff! An hour is a lot of time to fill! You're clearly sick of looking at it but now!

Lots of luck!

Don't give answers.. try to get people to offer the answer and voila! The correct answer is on the next slide. "That's right Susan, it is XXX. But why XXX? Well, is seems obvious but..." and then you have bullet points.

That's been the format of every overly long winded and tedious meeting I've ever been stuck in wishing I could leave.

I couldn't find any filler material, that's been the problem for weeks.
