I wonder if whomever took the initial request from you pulled the piece out of inventory and put it aside and didn't tell anyone else, making it appear out of stock when your mom asked for it.

I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but you framed it in a way that made me laugh.

Mission accomplished
 
Finally done unpacking from my move. It's taken months to get it all done, since I'm not home all that much, and 95% of the stuff was unpacked ages ago. But I had these nagging boxes of old clothes, random crap, and other stuff we just didn't have a place to put. And, some of the clothes were waiting until I was finished painting my closet. Well it's all done now! There's still a couple of boxes of files from my office that dumped out in the move which I'm going to have to spread out on the floor and reorganize, but overall this move is pretty much done.

Of course, I fully expect that in the next 24-36 months my partner will find a new job, which most likely won't be in Atlanta, and then we'll get to start this process all over again.

It probably won't be as painful next time.

I'm sitting here in the IAH E PC and watching a 73G get pushed back... and pulled back in. Then pushed back, then pulled back in... Hey gotta get your entertainment whichever way you can.

Might be a hair big for underseat, but it's definitely carry-on.

It was actually very funny to me at the time, as I knew I had lots of options. It was still only Monday and FedEx would've gotten them to us eventually somehow. The fact that she was seriously trying to claim that my two pairs of links that I called ahead for were actually only two links was really, really funny. Even more so because she was trying to come off in that uptight, snotty style that T&Co sales folks have, and expected me to take her seriously when it just wasn't possible considering the stupid things she was saying.

Great pictures, I really cant wait to go now. I just hope I can get my days off in order.

Did you manage to find time to get down to BZE? The fare is gone now from EWR and IAH if you didn't, though still available from ATL and SLC.

As of this afternoon I put two trips on hold though aa.com

I am going to check to make sure they are still on hold.

I need to wait until tomorrow so the s/o can check the schedule to make sure the time is good.

At 6:55 pm/23OCT, CO1479/23OCT from IAH gate C41 is scheduled to depart at 9:00 pm and arrive into SAT at 10:02 pm. Info subject to change.

I proceeded to the desk to ask about the delay when she mentioned that the flight was boarding and that I better hurry as I would be losing my upgrade if I didnt make it in 5 minutes. Once I boarded, it was then that I noticed that I was on flight 479 but got the trip alert for 1479.

Last Night (Friday, 10/24/08) I received the following email from CO:

You've been upgraded from San Antonio, TX (SAT) to Houston, TX (IAH - Intercontinental) on Sun., Oct. 26, 2008. Your new seat is 6C. Below is a recap of your flight information:

When I went online it showed the first class cabin, but when I went to pick a seat it would not allow me to pick a seat in the FC cabin. Then today, it only shows the coach cabin. I should mention that when I got the notice that I thought it was odd as the 733 doesnt have a row 6 in FC.

It will be interesting to see what finally happens on this. Lucky I only have two - one hour flights so not a bad night to be in coach.

So the Upgrade came through again last night and this time it was in FC 3A. Now waiting in the club for the OKC flight with no luck of the upgrade unfortunately.

Someone made fun of me for buying grits at the grocery store today. :rolleyes:

I hate NY.

I finally got my first upgrade since June! ^

It looks like I might even go 4/4 on this trip...

Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?
