:p:eek::D:rolleyes:

Not from a lack of trying. :D Actually I think is the trip that ALCO was sick as a dog and looking just as bad. I had thought about giving him a fake boarding pass with a seat assignment of 24E but I felt sorry for him.

I remember that. It was the trip where it was, IIRC, the first time he considered bailing on a trip because someone coughed on him in CMH or something.

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

That's my current plan for the World Cup next summer...figure out wherever in Europe is cheapest (or has good award availability) and go hang out with the fans who are left at home. :) Scotland or Spain would be among my top choices, though any capital/major city would definitely have lots of countries represented.

I have flown on an A321 this year but (1) I am not yet a true Box regular, (2) I haven't been putting things on the FM and (3) it was on US so it doesn't count.

Wow, I looked that up and hadn't realized that had happened. It's the sort of thing my parents would have mentioned since my grandmother and my two aunts went to school there.

The same Google search yielded the information that someone at my alma mater snuck a bad word onto the cover of the school yearbook.

Interview complete. Outlook: :cool:

Now I play the waiting game to see what they come back with. I had five total interviews, one of which was an hour and a half long inquisition about six or seven different types of technology. I think I did ok, but I should really teach myself binary math so I can calculate subnets on the fly. :rolleyes: Anywho, should be all good.

Were you not already married, I would say marry that woman! :)

Spain would be a better bet. Scotland is a much longer shot to qualify. Looking at the tables, Denmark might be fun...

ETA Amsterdam would be great too. I was there the night of the '94 final and there were Brazilians going nuts (pun intended) everywhere.

No. That was my CMH-SFO run in February. I had the Flu, could barely keep my eyes open, and essentially slept through my first CO Transcon F experience on a 752. :rolleyes:

That would have been funny. :D

Oh yeah... you worked my gate on that trip, too. :D

Shrimp and spinach in la casa de icurhere2. By the way, down to 211.8 on the Alli diet on day 15.

Mine was US, too.

I'm also pretty sure I'm the only person with a Britten Norman BN2. And I seem to be the only E90, but the truth is that the stats on FM are piss-poor for getting details like that.

^^ That's great news. And there is no way that needing to do subnets on the fly can really be the basis for a job you actually want. Being able to do them at all, yes. But in you head quickly, meh.

I apparently was sitting too still in the office here updating FM. The lights went off because I didn't trigger the motion sensor.

Thanks. That is my hope as well. The first question was what is a /24, and I responded that it was a 24 bit subnet. He asked how many hosts are in it and I replied 254. He then asked the same question about a /25. I responded that I couldn't do it in my head but I know exactly where to look online to have it calcuated for me (http://www.subnet-calculator.com/). Hopefully that was ok.

Where did you start and what's your goal?
