A crappy 24 hours for me. Big storm hit the area. To start the day off, I do a load of laundry and the washer machine starts to make noise. I tear it apart and can't tell which of the two parts that could make that noise is makein the noise. Ok fought to it back together again. It works that's all that counts for now.

Now on to the storm. Worse I' ( Read more... )

The first week of part time work has been going well so far.  Nothing too exciting to report on.  Well some people would have gone into complete panic if they did what I did but I didn't.   So what did I do to save the day?  On Wednesday I was attending a seminar as an observer as I'll have something to do with it in the future.  Well after lunch, ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas everyone.  I'm stopping in real quick to spread some Christmas cheer.  If you haven't seen my latest holiday greetings video that I posted over at Face Book, here's the link to this year's installment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bgv0HlC_2o

The second half of May turned out to be busy for me. I spent most of it preparing for my course that I delivered on the 28th including being cooped up indoors on several incredible weather days as well as the entire Memorial Day weekend. The number of people in the course was smaller than the last course, bad week to be honest after a holiday, but ( Read more... )

Hello. I know, long time no post. I suppose many of you here have noticed from my facebook page that I spent a few days in the UK early this week. Just a short little trip to burn up an airline voucher. I’m proud how cheaply I was able to do this trip by staying over at one persons house for a couple of nights and getting ultra cheap hotel rates ( Read more... )

I witnessed something funny last night. It was funny for me as a witness but not for this one guy.   I was out having drinks with people I know in NYC and happy hour was turned into several happy hours at George Kelley’s on the upper west side. At one point the one woman in the group goes, “I swear that looks like my ex-boy friend over at the bar”  ( Read more... )

I really must worry about the state of the economy when I get my daily e-mail from Monster that has several listing such as this.

Job Description:  (blank)
Company: 103439

I guess the demand is so high for these positions they are keeping the crowds ab bay by not actually post anything  :rolleyes:

I'm a bit sad a the moment. Over at another place I post people are in a frenzy about an ultra low airfare to Tokyo from the United States.   I never really thought about the possibility to flying there because as many know, Japan as a whole is a very expensive place to visit.  This may all sound shallow and stuff at the moment but it's deeper than ( Read more... )

I know I missed posting yesterday but the weather was really nice and warm so I went out for a bike ride. That was a mistake as it was super muddy and very, very slow going.

Back to the Continental DO, Day 2.   The morning started with a trip to Chelsea Kitchens. This is Continental’s catering company. They are the only airline left that has their ( Read more... )

I figure I should finally write about my trip to Houston, Texas this past weekend to attend the Continental Airlines DO (gathering) IV, the Fun and Games Edition now that I have caught up on things and some bad blood has been mopped up (more on in a couple of days). The people who attended the event generally post on Flyertalk.com and are “Elite” ( ( Read more... )
