Oooh, more travel club credits for me!

Good morning Box.

It's still raining in The Bay Area. Hope my gardener is smart enough to know that I don't expect him to show up today considering the yard is underwater. Nothing around here drains properly.

Daughter's first day of college starts today. Yesterday's classes were canceled due to a power outage and of course she was up early checking her email to see if she was going to get lucky again today.

Dog is better after being sick for two days. But it's too wet to head for the dog park so I plan on putting away the sofa cushions so that she doesn't use them for chew toys.

It looks like the SFO-LIM fare can also be routed through PTY on the outbound (SFO-IAH-PTY-LIM) for $491+ ($476+ if you route through PTY both ways). It's probably just a CO.com error, but it says the PTY-LIM and LIM-PTY segment books in to First (O).

Choices choices.

Does one want to sacrifice the EWR-LIM or IAH-LIM line for a PTY-LIM line? :)

Tried to burn off the sugar from the oh-so-wise decision of having a huge bowl of breakfast cereal for dinner with Wii Boxing. I, like kingalien, got beat by a girl.

It happened to me again yesterday :rolleyes:.

ETA: In Wii that is....

More stops = more segments = more miles = More Is More. :-:

:) I'd do it one way just for the line/dot but return routings should never be the same as outbound routings.

Yup, I thought of you when my Mii refused to get up after getting pounded like a piece of meat. My skill level is stuck in the 600's until I find a way to beat this beyotch.

True, but EWR-LIM is only 21 miles shorter than EWR-PTY-LIM.

And lets not forget that EWR/IAH-LIM are on 752s with BF while the CM service is on Bizarro 738s.

Good call. I wish I had a stable job with time off and such...I'd be all over these trips if for nothing else the hahas and the company.

Good morning box. My senses tell me :rolleyes: will be a 7 today.

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 that. Here's to a short and quick search for a brighter tomorrow and beyond.

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

Who knew?

I've actually had the problem of the jealous plotting my demise many times. I'm sorry that people automaticly gravitate towards me to get assistance anc ask questions. Nothing I can do about that except turn into an ...... like the plotters.

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!!

That sounds like fun. Where's there a cheap fun place we could all go?

You know that outside of California that's normal practice in this county?

And did you respond by saying that you didn't like the people at work because they are too busy socializing and not actually working?

That's pretty much how it went. Of course the other hilarious thing was that I was traveling as much in that job as I do now. If I was in the office twice a month it was a lot.
