CO 1E Jun 12, 2009 9:51 am

Just did my daily call to CO searching for ATL-ICN on DL. There are like three occupied seats in J and still no reward availability.

Not really. He used to be sort of hipster-ish, but cut most of that out when he got a job at a bank (not as a banker; I think he does IT). Think standard Gap/Polo-style chinos or cargo pants that stop about six inches above the ankles, with flip-flops, to boot.

So, the type of guy who got beat up a lot in high school?

Not really. Sort of shy/quietish, though.

Does he hang out with a lot of Europeans? :rolleyes:

Well, he works at a Swiss bank, but I doubt the Swiss banking set rolls in such attire.

On the summer school front: no email replies. Gee why am I not surprised. :rolleyes: Guess I will have to get into my tank at noon and storm the school. Hunt down the head of the APEX (online) summer school principal and have a face to face meeting.

I need more than another cup of coffee.

I just won the war on the summer school front. The policy of only offering a C or F has been changed to traditional A-F grades. Of course I have already withdrawn him from the summer school program because he couldn't afford getting a Fdrop grade but I have been assured that he can get signed up again without penalty. ^

Now I'm just waiting for the tenant from hell to accept my proposal and leave the apartment ASAP or to stop with her silly demands.

The C-F policy was one of the dumbest things I ever have heard.

^^ One victory won, one to go!

We had tenants from hell in one of our apartments. Man were they wacko. We seriously thought they were either (a) fugitives on the run or (b) terrorists. Don't think they were either, really, but they were definitely suspicious. Wouldn't give us their SSNs, didn't have a bank account, didn't have any credit cards. Weird Unfortunately, we inherited them when we bought the property.

We eventually got them out, but not before they ran up a $1000 water bill in two months (left the shower running day and night while they were out) and created havoc with their neighbours. Getting rid of tenants in NJ is really, really difficult. The law is on the side of the tenants (and I don't disagree with that), but man, they were a pain in the a$$.

Good morning box. I have a headache from last night. It looks like I emptied a whole can o' air trying to get the dust out of my computer last night.

Is ICN your final destination or are you looking beyond there? (I ask as TG has apparently shat all over themselves on their LAX-BKK flight and may days are showing as having C inventory.)

Yes, yes it does.

Interesting question, however...

If a vacuum cleaner sucks, is that good or bad?

:D

CO 1E have you tried to look up availability on nwa.jp?

I uses this one all the time as my main computer and lug it around all over with me. It's over 3 years old and has been a workhorse, but I think it is basically just old and clapped out now.

Bit like me, really .....:D

I really love my dell and all the unkeyed copies of programs I have for it. That's what keeps me buying a dell each and every time. I check and I purchased this one May 2006, so after 3 years of very intensive use, it crapped the bed.

I am on Kettle Express to FLL. :rolleyes:

I will be doing that next month. Don't you love how 12 wheel chairs are needed to pre-board, but only 5 are needed to deplane?

Go ahead and get rid of them, they were nothing but trouble from the start and are going to continue to be trouble. Even if you lose out on a few hundred bucks, just get rid of them.

:eek:, We used to work with a guy and everyone always wondered it he was gay and I would say, "No, He is European".

Congrats sfogate ^^^^ I am so glad it worked out. Your son will understand when he is older how much you care and how hard you worked for him. ^

Good luck with the :rolleyes: renters.
