I'm guessing that's you in 12C? Make sure you wave across the aisle to me in 12A. :D

Actually, no! I was in 3A (if it's a short flight I sometimes just do front-of-plane because, honestly, I don't feel the lack of legroom the way that many of y'all do).

But I actually just switched to 12B - company is fun. If indeed I do stay on this flight. Nice! ^

Excellent! It will be nice to meet another Boxer! Feel free to send me a PM if you need PClub access.

If the weather looks bad on Friday, I will probably SDC as well but I'd really like to avoid CoCo...

Had an e-mail from my boss this morning saying we "had to talk" :eek:

I just got off the phone with her a few minutes ago and found out that my responsibilities are being increased to include more of a "national presence" ^ It's going to be made official on our conference call this afternoon but essentially, the higher-up's want to take advantage of my skill set and success with a task I was given a few years ago to drive the business.

I'm not sure if you can call this a true "promotion" since my title isn't changing but it's certainly some more responsibility, a show of the confidence they have in me, and a chance to book some flights on equipment other than ERJ's, Q400's, Amtrak, and my car.

Nice! Sounds like some great news! ^^

Lunch was a creamy tomato basil soup with a brocolli and cheddar biscuit. Quite yummy for an office building cafe.

FareCompare shows a $175 base fare to PSP on CO. It just showed up today, so I haven't looked to see if it is available, but you might want to check it out if you're looking at going to PSP.

Ooohhh, thank you for the heads up. The problem is basically this:

We own a week at Marriott Desert Springs in PSP and have been going there since 1993. However, last year the parents booked the wrong week (aka, rather than the week that both my sister and I were on spring break, a week that NEITHER of us were off) and by the time they got around to calling to change it, there was no more availability on the property for the desired week.

At that point I asked them to rebook somewhere else - MCO, LAS, anywhere that there was a Marriott timeshare property - rather than "waiting around to see if something opens up" because if it doesn't, then... :rolleyes: I have asked them, asked them emphatically (each blames someone else, including me, for dropping the ball), sent strongly-worded emails (ignored), etc. This has been going on since Christmas. :mad: I wanted to turn the trip into a segment run if possible...tjtenor4 wanted to come along...now both of those things are highly unlikely because, barring a last-minute fluke deal, this is getting priced out of range more and more by the day.

This isn't the first time this has happened, btw, and inevitably I will get a frantic phone call a week out going "how can you get all five of us plane tickets?" The answer is, by paying a ridiculous amount of money that none of us ought to be spending because it was SO NOT NECESSARY.

Sorry, I'm done now.

Man, I just can't do math.

It is disturbing that i've attained status good for two years. :)

CO keeps sending me Secure Flight e-mails, even with my profile updated... :rolleyes:

Well done!

Since I believe you will be at HR Waikiki this weekend, you may want to have CS update your reservation to reflect Diamond status so you are assured of getting upgrades, RC access, etc.

BTW, we arrive on Friday, and we will be in the club Friday night!

I sadly have had to cancel my trip to HNL this weekend. Not happy about that at all. :(

Sorry to hear - mine's going alright so far, especially once I get this last quiz posted for Global Logistics (will have all quizzes for the entire semester posted in that one course).

Orbitz has sent me two even though I filled that out on checkout.

I get to attend my first Nashville Predators game Thursday - going to hit Costco for tires on the way ;)
