Were you delayed by the mech problem on Sunday in LAS?

Nope, I connected through IAH and got to LGA 45 mins early due to :-: tailwinds

I had some tailwinds last night too. Must've been the Chinese food. ;)

One of the IAH flights had a mx issue and they were working to rebook people. All of the IAH flights were full and I saw them issue some people a $250 voucher and they were rebooked on DL.

I went in tonight to work an overnight shift.. to find out I've been fired.

I get why they do what they do with regards to termination - but jeeze, having me drive in at 11pm to hand me payout and send me packing? I hated the job so i likely fully deserved it - just annoyed.

Bleh, maybe i'll use the cash to buy a last minute fare somewhere. First time i've been fired though, so considering it's the day after my 27th birthday i'd say that's not too shabby of a record.

Sorry to hear. One door closed, a better one opening ^

Sounds like fun to me!!


I am thinking that perhaps we should have a "Unemployed DO" looks like we would get more participants than the PRG DO!! At least wew would get the miles!!

Off to finish rewriting the resume and send it out!!

:D

In other news, I think I have my Hawaii itinerary planned out. I was trying to fit in KOA, JHM and LIH but I think that would have been just too much for 5 days, so I am going to just explore one island, Kauai. Since we arrive in HNL late, after 6pm, I am going to just stay in HNL for the first night. I figure there is no need to spend $250 on a hotel if I will not arrive there until 9pm. The next morning fly out to LIH and spend 3 night in Princeville at the Westin Villas and then fly back to HNL and spend the final night back there.

I asked fora bump and the GA said they weren't bumping people from F. :confused:

So instead I went to the PC for cocktails. The bartender even let me leave with a to-go cup. ^

It's quite eery, how quiet the roads are at that time of night.

:D ... capable .... hmmm... that would be ALCO, xyzzy, sbm12, colpuck, Scot6067, Fozz, FTLurker, Steph3n, baglady, CM and all those other Boxers who are waaaaaaaay more capable of constructing MRs than I.

Night, Box.

Oh, no! So sorry to hear that KNRG. What a bummer. Here's fingers and everything else crossed that you find something else quickly. In the meantime, occupy your time with MRs!

Turns out i'm "The Perfect Human" and according to my results others are jealously plotting my demise as we speak.

Who knew?
