:td: that is a hilarious argument really. I have nothing against fairtrade coffee but affecting the taste is a bit of a stretch in any case.

I had to bring the underpants gnomes in though:

Phase 1: Have sustainable harvest and pay farmers well
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Better coffee

I taught a 7:30 am class, at least half the class was spent in the kitchen with eating food as an outcome. Students like that!!


On another note, looks like the perfect FT CO Job is now open: http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...aspx?i=ALLJOBS

Analyst - Transatlantic Pricing - Houston, TX - HQS

sdm1130, you should apply :D

I would like to work for an airline for a period of time - it's not unheard of for people in my career to spend summers as interns in new industries.

for the techies here:
Assistant Project Engineering Manager - Houston, TX - IAH
* Design, fabricate, install, validate integration of modern digital avionic systems into Continentals full flight simulators and flight training devices using digital communication protocols (including Arinc 429, RS232, ASCB, Can Buss).
* Assist project engineers making avionics modifications to flight simulators.

RS232 and modern in the same description :D hilarious.

Just got an e-mail from the complaint I filed with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service 24 hours ago.

I cant sleep work called, working on something sooo, this is about the vandals last night?

Postal Inspectors are mean dudes :D
I had an issue with a priority mail one time that was improperly handled by USPS staff, I did not even report it to them but one passing through overhearing situation asked me about it and gave some stern warning to a USPS employee right in front of me. :eek:

Of course. I know vandalizing a mailbox and removing someone's outgoing mail from the vandalized mailbox are both technical (rarely prosecuted) violations of federal law.

*pouts*

I just want my ticket. Go read my sob story thread if you're ultra CO :rolleyes: -fest savvy.

I think you'll be fine. In the unlikely event you get downgraded, you'll get comped based on the distance of each segment. (Something like 200 for sna-iah and 150 bucks for iah-tpa.)

Safe travels!

Wow!^:-:

Well, the phrase "unlikely event" is moderately reassuring. That it is an "event" and thus possible and known occurrence is always the bit that troubles me.

Sounds like it went ok+ with Miss.Guini

Morning Box, at too-early thirty, in an unusual twist- I actually dropped off Girlfriendwalker for a 6:10 flight to the hublet
