Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
Thanks very much to Axe, Grrl, Ryan, Shan, and the supporting cast for a great couple of days on the left coast. I took advantage of being out in Oakland on a ticket that gave me some latitude in stop-overs, and stopped off in Vancouver for the weekend. It was something I desperately needed, and […]
So, to all my friends and family who remembered back in February how I mentioned that it’d be nice to travel a little for work again: I remember too. You can stop reminding me now. It’s very safe to say that my travel bug has been squashed.
My latest travels through SFO redirected me through GE’s EntryScan explosives detector as part of the pre-flight security screening. I don’t know if there is any selection criteria for folks to go through this test, and I’m pretty sure it was because the operator was bored as there were virtually no people going through screening […]
Ok, fuckit. I’m not going to complain in the channel. I’m not going to complain on IM. I’m not going to complain on the phone to anyone but Syl, because she’s the only one who will complain in equal amounts back. I may complain a little if I happen to be drinking beer within earshot […]
I’ve thought long and hard about it, and I really don’t have anything to say these days. So, I think I’m gonna pull things down. Wait, scratch that. I have lots to say, I’m just tired of listening to me. The end result is the same (can you tell Christmas is upon us?)
yet so funny, on multiple levels. Jessica’s got nuthin’ on the gemale… err… housewife of the year. Want bleach? Find yer own.
First it was gate agents, and now I have a beef with the equipment scheduler. The equipment scheduler is the person(s) who decide what type of aircraft goes on which route. Their primary focus is not customer comfort, it’s getting the cheapest to operate plane that will accommodate around the number of folks who want […]
I don’t normally dream, at least I don’t think I do. The only time I can remember dreaming is because my dream is actually a nightmare. I die a lot in them (that whole “you don’t die in your sleep” is so much bullshit), but they’re normally memorable in their imagery. Last night I had […]
While most of the US knows him as “John Roberts”, it’s nice to see that he still has a little JD left in him.
Ah, supply and demand. It’s the justification companies use when they’re fucking you without your consent and you’re telling them to stop while they say “hell no”. Gas companies have long played this game in Canada, with prices starting high on Friday afternoon and dropping over the weekend. It was not uncommon before all the […]
