Sounds like the temporary job is going well for you — have my fingers crossed this is going to quickly turn into a full time, long-term gig.

Thanks. I hope things work out well. Though, essentially, I would be kicked off of FT, since I won't have a laptop w/ me anymore while @ work. :( But, I'll get to travel. Lots of travel going on in the next couple weeks for coworkers. Places like AMS, LAX, BNA, PHX, CVG, BUF, IND, JAX, STL, and FLL. If I was permanent, I could possibly go. Oh well. I'll just be thankful to have a job.

Only about 12 of those. Though, it could have been the same one over and over. :confused:

A job that allows travel is a very good thing indeed. Just pop in when you can and don't be too much of a stranger.

I am going to take my roommate out and beat him senseless if he keeps eating my food.

Thanks. Need to sort out the gazillion others from the other days too.

That's quite a haul of EQMs for a recovering hemispheriphobe. What do you think your total 2009 BIS mileage will be?

Very likely I think i'll be somewhere 275k-325k BIS miles. It's been a big travel year. According to FM, i'm at 245k and I've got two my future trips in there.

I used to do similar, 175-190k EQM during the 90's with domestic service only, it was weekly trips to SEA, LAX, SFO that did it for me working for Boeing and Lockheed.

I did the weekly EWR-LAX/SFO last year. That gets boring very quickly.

Quite impressive. I'll hit about 240K BIS this year, and that will be about 60K more than I have ever done in a year before.

Hmmm...28 minutes of nothing and then 2 touchdowns in a 1:12 span. Entertaining game to watch, actually.

I'm having to cut back from my previous target of ~165K BIS due to getting sick this week. Should only hurt me to ~5-10K but I don't really know. Then again, if CO does something silly on a fare I could get those back in a hurry for some DEQMs. :D

I have three open weekends between now and the end of December. I'm hoping CO does something stupid with an F or Y fare. One of them is next weekend, so CO had better hurry. I would also settle for another IAH-EZE CO Weekend Special. :D

Why thank you.

Well, the things that really push it over the edge this year are LAX-SIN, SIN-NRT-ATL, IAH-NRT-IAH, FRA-SFO and a trip to AMS that routes through SEA. :D

I still haven't figured out what I'm doing for Thanksgiving and Xmas, so a trip to Thailand may pop up or further work on my hemisheritis.
