It's easy to call someone "full of hot air". It is quite difficult with a straight face to refer to someone as "all farts, no $hit" - all hot air and no substance.

Gotta remember that one!! :D

That's it.....I'm coming over for dessert tonight! :-:

Scroll all the way down to see that logo on a onesie and a bib. Classic.

Is that what she'll dress her next boyfriend in??

We're making collard greens, polenta, and a fried egg for dinner. Food porn will be forthcoming.

I made ribs for dinner. I'm a northerner so they weren't great. :rolleyes: Outside of going to Big Eds, I think I'm going to need some tips. My stipulations are it has to be relatively simple, and not require a smoker. :p :-:

Made steak ala mexicana for dinner.

I just follow my own script based on the one CO wants us to do. What is really weird is that my voice comes over the PA system quite different. I've had people, who know me quite well, ask me who the person is making the PAs. It seems to be a voice everyone likes to listen to.

Doing some prep for tomorrow's meeting with Eagles Farewell I live from MEL on in the background. :D

You have excellent gate-presence, even when the red-eye to EWR has been delayed over an hour.

Have you seen me working?

I didn't know anyone in The Box had.

I'm catching up on putting flights into the Penalty Box FM. Apparently I'm behind all the way to April. :eek:

I also am apparently the only person to have an A321 this year. :-:

You worked the gate for my SFO-EWR flight when I did the SFO-EWR-LIM fare back in March. Either that, or it was my SFO-IAH red-eye on the way back home from that fare.

I remember that but I thought you came directly from the PClub to board and weren't around watching or listening to me.

Thank you for the compliment.

YUM! ^ I've never heard of that combination, actually, but it sounds lovely.

The Dark Force of the Double Standard lives. We had a male teacher at that same high school who hooked up with a student. Both their lives were made into absolute hell when it came out. I went to kindergarten with the girl.

Part of the reason she ended up with such a light sentence is that the kid admitted that he was the one pursuing her and she gave in.

About 5 years ago at the school I went to, a male teacher got an 8th grader pregnant. While that is a GROSS oversimplification of the story (let's just say that there were definitely other players that were not at all blameless, starting with her parents), you can bet that the school, the law, and the media had a field day.

Is it a stupid idea to apply for a job that's just out of my experience level but my resume would likely trigger all the good flags by resume scanning programs? Job I want and it's long term which means as the more senior people leave I can move up too.

Not at ALL!!

Were there any gate agent shenanigans?

:p:eek::D:rolleyes:

No. I always get nervous with delayed flights and clubs that are outside security. I left the PC and went to the gate area, but was sitting in an area of the roundish gate-area away from the podium (didn't want to disturb you whilst you were on-duty). IIRC, I may have already popped a Xanax to help sleep on the red-eye, so probably wouldn't have been much for conversation at that point, anyhow. :D

Nope. I got a 5-Day EUA on that flight, IIRC (it was a 753).
