Good thing I'm doing sales and not trying to pick up the tech side of it from scratch.

This sounds oddly familiar.

...and in other random news, UA has postponed their new upgrade scheme (think like CO's one with miles + copay) due to....<wait for it>....technological implementation issues.

Who'da thought 'dat?

My only hope is that SWUs can be used on CO...as I seem to have some B fares to NRT that need upgrading! :)

Oh well, life goes on.

I see you are coming upon your 6,000th post!^

Good excuse to post pad!:D

Whatever do you mean? Right now, I'm spending only Jackson coins when I have to use cash (e.g. in LAS or reimbursing staff for picking up small gifts or birthday cakes). Trying to be a good Tennessean.

Anyway, as I walked into my bank branch today, they were lamenting that they were having trouble ordering dollar coins from the US Mint. I told them to expect a few boxes on Monday, and we agreed upon almost two grand ...

Hee hee! Good for you!^ They love the dollar coins at my one bank -- the other seems to grudgingly accept them -- funny thing is that they are one of those who had to take TARP $!:eek:

I used a ton of coins to pay tolls when I drove down to DC last w/end (I don't have EZPass as I refuse to pay the mthly fee for a service I don't use much)!:rolleyes: I try to use them as much as possible to spread the wealth!:D

Atleast you have The Box for entertainment tonight. Who needs power when you have internet access.

Hope all is OK.

While all that may be true, maybe he might be missing the A/C down there!:(

Dollar coins make too much sense, hence Congress cannot pass a currency and coinage act stopping the production of paper $1 notes (despite explicitly keeping the penny).

How could I forget the A/C after all the crap I took from my tenant. Woops. I have gotten so use to not having A/C that I forget how nice it is. I am currently walking around the house closing windows because the breeze is just too cold for comfort. I love Northern California foggy cool nights.
