Good morning everyone.

Just two of us answering the phones today for a service area of about 2.5 mil people. :-:

Good morning Box. Did everyone decide to post at once?

Last day of dealing with the kiddies and the Doc. crew. I don't know if I want to wear my nice new dress shirt knowing that lunch involves ribs.

I think I need to call this one head hunter in PHX. He's persistant which is a good thing. He called yesterday to introduce himslef when I wasn't in the mood to pick up the phone and I could barely hear the message so I ignored it. Then he sent an e-mail late night his time. Now he just left a message again and it's early in the morning out there. Too bad he decided to call at the time the first telemarketers make their call so I didn't even make a move for the phone. (now phone rings w/ telemarketer :rolleyes:)

You: 911 what's your emergency?
Crazy person: There's a photo of the President choking some guy in a wheel chair and then the guy in the wheel chair b!tches out Sarah Palin. What's that all about?

Staying in Portsmouth, NH at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside on a SPG free weekend night (ALCO tipped me off to this incredible looking hotel) Friday night and a HGI on the water in downtown Portmand, ME Saturday night. Now to plan activities and find a great place in Portland for dinner on Saturday.

That sounds outstanding.

I am on the fence for the JetBlue pass. I don't like you can only go through each city once per-day.

I don't like that one can only earn a total of 35 points for that month.

Do they have to tweet about the RST mess and get the info out to CNN?

I do loathe what CNN has become (in the past, I merely disliked CNN).

A reason that I might want to stay on Alli - researcher posits a high-fat diet may be correlated with stupid and lazy.

Portsmouth is quite nice.

wow IHG's 'excuse' for a mistake fare is going to end up causing a lot more stir than the actual .1 euro sale!

CNN spends a lot more time reading twitter than actual news coverage.

Guy I worked with in the Air Guard was a Marine before coming to his senses and putting the blue suit on. He was the comm guy attached to a Force Recon platoon. When he separated he managed to take home a few smoke grenades. :D

Didn't you know that everything has at least one acronym? Often, the acronyms take longer to say than the words/concepts they represent, such as when things go "Tango Uniform" ("pear shaped" for the Brits among us).

Some of our acronyms have become acceptable and known in mainstream civilian language. I think the most commonly known one might be SNAFU, or BOHICA.

Do you know what Cuba's number on export is?

Cigars, rum, and outdated political thought are all tied at #1.

I used to very jadedly snicker when I worked in the casinos w/r/t the tax structure on slot winnings. The People's Demokratic Republik of New Joisey would actually give in-state winners a 2% break on jackpots. Jersey residents pay 31%, out of staters 33.

Morning, Box. So much for sleeping in. Popped awake before 8am and decided to read the TalkMail threads before coming to Teh Box. This installment's threads were pretty good.
