That's what makes it so :rolleyes:. It taunts you.

I know the Canuck will get the misSTEAK (her first time in BF :-:) in a couple weeks. I'll probably get the chicken. Let's see who the smarter one is between us.

Gonna be a busy day in the Box...

What happend to your luggage? ;):D

I was debating checking a bag for my flight to the Festering Pit on Wednesday but I read that CO will destroy my bag. Once on board, my pants will rip and free drinks will be given away to very deserving folks in Y. At this point, the dude in the safety video will "abandon ship" by resigning 5 months hence. :-:

Don't forget prior to your flight you can use the employee security line and some FA's will happily cut you off in line.

The sad part is that it's in DFW. I would jump on that, but all the work I've done towards teaching would be flushed down the toilet. Now that I'm on a path, I suppose I should stick to it.

And those same employees will be upgraded ahead of you by their cohorts at the gate. :p

Nope. I've created a monster. The Pound Puppy from Hell expects to be taken to the dog park at 10:30am sharp. The sound of a high pitched bark is enough to wake up the dead, including me!

Thank god for naps.

I always wanted to use this one in those threads, but it seems a bit much outside the Box:

Sometimes things happen serendipitously. My "path" was non-traditional but started because I had a teaching license and a strong statistics background.

It is unwise to lump Addie Tomei's operation into speaking ill of Little Italy. She does tours all over the city that highlight a bunch of different stuff, and she is unbelievably kind. I met her at the Park Avenue Cafe when she spoke at the NYC Concierge Association, and her company is a gem.

At least some of the more (in)famous parts of Little Italy still endure. The building that housed John Gotti's headquarters/social club is now a shoe store. :rolleyes: At least it's still there. Someone should do what Addie Tomei does for food and adapt it to famous crimes. That would be an interesting piece of the tourism market. If that guy in North Jersey can do a bus tour around Sopranos shooting locations, why wouldn't an NYC crime tour work?

Sadly, I'm going to SFO and i have a 9h 20 minute delay. I know in UA/DL world, the compensation is based on amount of time between your original departure/arrival and the actual. Does CO do that at all?

And for a delay that long, should I have gotten more than one meal voucher?

Delayed, why are you delayed? I am NOT doing another EWR weather delayed day...I refuse. :D

Count your blessings that you got one meal voucher....don't you know that WE DON'T CARE. :D Ask for another one. I'm sure we have a rule written somewhere but if you're hungry and smile nicely, someone will give you another voucher.

My path is very nontraditional...the hardest part will be spinning that nontraditionalism into selling points in interviews at the districts that are willing to listen. I get the distinct feeling that the districts that will be willing to listen are those where the cops are outgunned by the students.

Last night one of my co-workers expressed how nice it was that we all worked well together and jumped in when things got rough without being asked. Guess who wasn't at work last night.....my personal work troll. :D
