There was the time that the JetBlue plane had landing gear problems, and the passengers were watching their plane on CNN!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, I don't care if this one time people got stranded for twelve hours. They had TV! (At least, I hope they did.) This one time I sat on a runway, in July, for four hours, anticipating seeing my family after being abroad for seven months. They can't run the a/c while on the ground and this was before a six hour flight. We were delayed two of those hours because a passenger passed out in the heat and we had to return to the gate, get her off, and get in the back of the line to take off. But it would have been bearable with TV.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I mentioned this in LJ, but I am a jetBlue rewards member, and I got an apology email yesterday that kind of impressed me. I know I would probably feel very differently if I had been caught up in their problems as a traveler, but it really seemed like they were cluesticking themselves, rather than ducking responsibility.

Yay puppies!
If I'm not mistaken, today is Laura's birthday. If I'm right, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My co-worker was supposed to go out of town last weekend, and couldn't because Jet Blue canceled a shitload of flights (not rescheduled - CANCELLED). They gave her vouchers to replace the tickets she didn't use, but yeah, emailed apology notes don't exactly make up for the fact that she missed a friend's wedding.
Not being a traveler last weekend, I only got the one email. She's gotten several, and it's gone way beyond good customer service and into paranoid CYA desperation.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And we will teach your bartenders the way of the Suspended Animation. You have to set the bar on fire for it.

Um. I like this plan, but it scares me. (If you knew who I was thinking of....) However, a few shots of Fernet, and I won't care. Whee!!!
Also, I need to come down and meet BoRita.
I'm still not convinced that Giuliani didn't just round up and kill the homeless people -- seriously, where did they all go all of a sudden??
San Francisco, most likely.
Nothing like waking up to find out that the cover story in the local paper is about a program I'm running, and that nobody actually talked to me about...
Oh, my....

Happy Birthday, Laura!!
Oh, and apparently, I'm going to be a puppy-aunt. My sister has two dogs whom she caught going at it some weeks ago, and when she took the female into the vets on Monday, they x-rayed her and found out she's pregnant. I told her they should have fixed that dog months ago! They're going to try and sell all the puppies (they don't want more than the two they have), and Ergo is getting fixed ASAP after delivery.
