Yes, but it's now 2009. :D The only way that's a competitive J product now is:

A. the business model is "fool a lot of people once", or
B. Czech government employees are required to fly OK in J.

I couldn't have made it but it's pretty alarming I didn't even know this was going on. Blasted new job getting in the way of staying up to date in the wide world of the Box. :mad::rolleyes:

Morning box.

NICE! I was wondering where all these were:
MasterCard 500 Bonus Mile Offer

I just has a slew of them post to CO account, this is for online booking with MC, the 500 bonus miles per booking.

they posted with all sorts of dates, that is one thing I wish CO did, post them with some back date, but please please post the 'posted date' so I can sort it!

Well, I still do donut quality inspections. :-:

However, I get paid doing work in the energy sector. My job responsibilities are more or less doing things that make people in Houston :rolleyes:.

I switched to a daughter company from the corporate parent on Sept. 1. Technically a new job in a new company but my office moved about 15'. Completely different function however.

This is further proof that job changes always suck. But, I'm getting up to speed pretty fast. And doing fun things like switching projects in Canada for projects in the Caribbean. :D

Before I scrolled to see that it was OK's J seat, I thought it WAS the CO domestic F seat.

Morning, Box.

Then, I read that the Secretary of State had kept Ambassador Nomura waiting with his declaration of war until official word was received that the attack had begun, giving Nomura a "f**k you," cultural and diplomatic faux pas.

I guess it could all have been lucky, though...

I thought we had the secret Japanese cables but that they were not all decoded/translated before the attack so we really didn't have a specific warning.

She always calls my business trips "vacations" so this is certainly not going to help that discussion.

Good morning Box.

What you mean is that OK J is just OK. ;)

I have contact information for the Director of Philanthropy (or similar title, I forget) at CO that I could probably share with you.

I was at a hotel somewhere in an un-named "quirky" city where the person in the room next to me sneezed. I said bless-you in a normal voice and they responded thank you.

After about 10 seconds of awkward silence we proceeded to have a conversation with each other Office Space apt. style. "Hey dude, check out the :rolleyes: exam on channel 19!"

That's pitifully funny. Would another few bucks a night passed on in construction cost really kill any hotelier out there?
