Anyway, you have not touched that stack of grilled cheese sandwiches sitting over there, freshly prepared just for you by Tom, Brad, and the still-unnamed sweaty Italian concrete construction guy...

Oh and on unnamed sweaty guy, we arent naming him cause then people will talk to him and he'll talk and we didnt want him here to share what is on his mind *smile*

You heard it here first, and I am being totally serious: According to a source from whom I have been told personally, Delta Air Lines will eventually stop providing the premium class cabin with the rigid plastic glasses, citing the reason that they are not big enough.
Instead, the regular plastic cups used in the economy class cabin will be used.
By the way, the company that manufactures those plastic cups is a client of mine...

Well, I've been looking at myself in the mirror, and I'm pretty sure I'm not a "this"....female, for sure. At least I have all the right parts to be considered female
Well, I guess I'd better figure out the right time of day, so I can NOT give it to Dovster.

FT Chat
ok did "we" (the collective group who has done aim chats together) know about that flyer chat function when we were looking for something everyone could use, cause I sure didnt. Had no clue that was there. Now I have learned 2 things tonight - 1) cheap blueberry muffins are good wiht champagne and 2) FT has a chat room, cool on both.

I have to admit that this was a pretty boring test... I don't know if it was worth staying up for.

On a completely different note, I think I solved DL's financial problems. What they need to do is take all of the soda cans they use inflight and fly them to Michigan and then turn them into the recycling places and collect the $0.10/can! They could make gazillions!!!
Ok, so maybe not the best idea, but every little bit helps, right?
I'm sorry, its late and its either posting on FT or reading about labor economics, so of course I chose FT.
Edited to add: I just realized that my FT clock did not reset. It is currently 1:30am (round 2) on the west coast, but my FT says its 2:30am. Very interesting....

I was just explaining a stupid thing I did. Edited to add: Okay, I am so confused..... the time on FT on the bottom of my screen fixed itself......
