I don't think it wou;d be that much travel - more like an occasional thing - but at least it wouldn't be a drone in an office, or so I hope. I'm going to take the interview and feel it out. I'm still not 100% convinced that it is right for me but if there is potential up-side then I might give it a go anyways. I will need to make sure that there is sufficient vacation time included.

Sorry to hear your trip got messed up, jrzyshawn. That's never a good thing.

so once I got a whiff of a weather delay from the GA, I went over to the customer service center and told them to cancel that segment from my reservation due to the delay. I told them I will take Amtrak and that was the end of it.

Hahaha - the FT All-Stars! I bet we have quite a few instruments out there, many of which haven't been touched since high school, but no matter. :)

If April showers bring May flowers, what the heck do May showers bring?

I thought that NJT monthly holders got the AirTrain access for free. Or did that benefit expire? It's only been monthly ticket holders that have EWR listed as the destination (i.e. airport/airline employees)

I'm not sure we are going to do any touristy things this time - as our intent is to be in pubs the entire weekend. ;)

I REALLY do not want to and would only actually accept this job if it is way better than what the headhunter is selling it to me as. But there is no harm in taking the interview. It'll give me something to do for a day.
