Anything interesting?

I think that it is interesting that you can use the certs to guarantee the upgrade on transcons with international configurations if you use a fare class that is only a few dollars more than the cheapest. The last time that I ever sat in the back transcon was when I flew CO SAN-EWR as a platinum on a high priced ticket.

[QUOTE=baglady;12139007]:rolleyes: Job Security



See above! You're special :)

LOL! I wish I had job security or was special.. but for now the old company needs me to "feel secure". That will work while hunting for something else.

Icurhere - I wish I could discuss incompetence.. but seriously.. I was given a team that should be able to handle the basics.. and a lead engineer that should be able to screen stuff before it makes it to me to hand off to a client. But no. My previous company was bad... But my current is far worse!

I did have to tell one to quit being a moron earlier today - 7-10 days to process paperwork, when the director had the paperwork in-hand and the customer is in my office waiting. Nice to be an AVP every so often.

I dealt with massive amounts of poop today. Literally. My daughter decided to crap her diapers while eating dinner. Needless to say, she had a diaper explosion. The high chair and her clothing had poop on it. Yuck. Another day in the life of a new father. Thankfully Mrs. photog72 was around and we double-teamed the mess.

I thought we had already exceeded the weekly allowance of poo references with Alli earlier today.

Good night, Box.

Good middle-of-the-night box!

There's been plenty of :rolleyes: in moving here, but not enough time to post about it. Also, an amazing number of unsecured networks in this complex. Makes me wonder if buying service here is worth it.

An update on my orange affinity.. apparently they're selling microwaves in turquoise and matching sets of coffee makers and toasters in orange. I think I found a color trend before it really hit. My mixing bowls came in a 3-pack of orange, turquoise, and chocolate brown.

It's taking a lot of self control to keep the orange/turquoise/brown out of the other rooms. I already let it take over the living room and appear randomly in the kitchen.

Side note: Brushed stainless steel/silver fixtures, knobs, etc.. Thank god. Everywhere in Florida tended to have brass or gold.

One more note...

My home delivery weight from Ikea was 666lbs. Think it's a sign?

monitor Jul 28, 2009 10:24 pm

That used to be the case in my apt bldg in Manhattan where I can see more than twenty of them. About a year or so, most of the networks were unsecured but the other day when I looked, all but one were now secured.

Both networks I can see from my home (one of them mine) are secured.

G'Morning Box!

I need to decide if I want to go to ORD as part of the *A Mega Do deal. I don't know if I should drop the extra $400ish or not to get out there. Plus, I'm thinking that I'm going to want to nap before the long flight/party over to FRA and that wouldn't be so easy if I'm already partying.

And I need to figure out when my billing cycle closes and if I can get this ticket onto the next cycle.

Also, someone was saying that the Z fare seats on UA book into Y for that deal. Anyone know anything about that? Would it still book into Y on a p.s. flight?

Morning, Box.
