FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

My client finally fired the guy this morning that they were going to fire yesterday and then didn't fire yesterday. And I've now got a full-time contract gig for the foreseeable future until they get a replacement on staff and trained up. :D

In other news, if HR tells you that you're probably fired but that they are going to do some more digging first, pulling out your blackberry to tell the rest of the company is probably not a good way to spend the 5 minutes they leave you alone.

He's served me before. @:-) (no, I'm not in the book or the blog. I used to live 3 blocks from the restaurant he worked at)

It's in the same town that Jon Gosselin's new arm candy is from. :-:

Sorry to hear. I'm kinda cranky myself, but The Box is rapidly curing that.

Anyone ever read Elliott Hester? Plane Insanity was the book title, I think?

Jon has new arm candy? Hopefully she's not poo-flavored like Kate.

Yes the box is curing that but I still can't get in the mood to do this one cover letter.

I suspect Jon's new arm candy is a mute.

Are the planes already back into the cycle of needing C-checks? Which was the check done for the initial AVOD install? My understanding is that the BF seat swap is actually a quick job - like only a day or three - so it could potentially be done rapidly and outside of a normal maintenance window if they wanted to.

*shrug* I dunno, I assume it was time but I could be wrong. If not a C-check, definitely some maintenance checks at that time of year.

From what I've read, one should plan on about 2.5-3 hours for immigration, claiming baggage and transfer from ICN to the city. This time varies significantly at different times of the day due to heavy traffic but it sounds like we will be OK this early in the morning. So, I was planning on arriving at the hotel around 7am.

When I went through ICN back in Nov, i went from walking off the plane to outside in 30 minutes and that included grabbing a checked bag. There were no lines and it was a breeze.

She looks a touch like Amy Fisher with the sunglasses on....:eek:

The 32-year-old father of eight arrived at JFK airport Tuesday night, where he stopped to exchange 600 euros into U.S. dollars and got help loading his luggage that included oversized Gucci shopping bags, Usmagazine.com reports.

Meanwhile back at the Gosselin abode in Wernersville, Pa., Kate Gosselin was spotted running errands while still wearing her wedding ring on Tuesday.

Nice attempt by the paper to make Kate seem like a victim. I totally agree that it takes two to tango, but not here. She rode him into the ground.

I feel sorry for his editor. This guy's grammar is atrocious.

ETA: I saw a group of a few bad sentences...after that it was pristine. :o

Sounds like she's from Isengard, home of Indiania University. :rolleyes: How hard is it to spell using a word processor?! I could understand if we were still on typewriters, but that's unbelievable.

That's where she went to school (and was arrested).

She's the daughter of the guy who performed Kate's :rolleyes: tuck after the sextuplets were born. A friend saw the two of them walking around town a few weeks ago. (I could care less about these people's lives. It was just random that someone had mentioned they saw him with this chica and then it was all over the news.)

When I taught, I would have described this decision as leading to path dependence.

Apparently, she is the daughter of the doctor who performed a tummy tuck on Kate.:eek: Small world. According to somewhere, I read she is 10 years younger than Jon. Lucky guy.:rolleyes:

Nice! He probably saw a picture of her in the doctor's office and started to think...

"If she keeps treating me like the dirt on the underside of her shoe, maybe I can hit that."

I feel like sitting on a beach is a waste of time.

I find the jersey shore to be nicest in the off season. I tend to avoid it like the plague during the summer.

My tops for sitting on a beach doing nothing is about 2-3 days. After that I start going a bit stir crazy.

When he originally asked the question, that was the image that popped into my mind. Complete with the swishing sound as he walks down the aisle of the plane. :D
