We really just could not get our asses up and out the door this morning. This 6:20am flight seemed like a good idea when I booked the tickets, but it came back to bite me in the nads. Really, I never should have tried to get that hour nap.
And yes, we're still on standby, looking at our third possible flight of the day. Fourth, if you count our original flight.
And I checked, Continental only flies into IAH from LAX. They won't put us on another airline, either. They don't even want to talk to us, they've got so many stanby fliers. If you even approach the counter and say, "sta...," they glare at you, pick up the mic, and make yet another announcement that standby passengers need to sit down, shut up, and wait for them to call your name.
If
they decide to call your name. And that bothering people will make them
not
call your name.
It's okay to drink the pickle juice out of the jar when you finish the last pickle, right?
I have a co-worker who drinks pickle juice. Seriously.
Yeah, standby today is not going to be pretty. The airlines are averaging 90% capacity through the holiday season. I hope things work out. I've got my fingers crossed for you.
ION, I'm waiting for files to copy. It takes far too long to move 26.26 GB of data around.
Once these are done I need to go out to Santa Monica to pick up my passport, then over to Beverly Hills to get a buy off on the speakers there, then it's down to Costa Mesa to make it through quiet time and a rehearsal for A Christmas Carol.
I'm staying in Costa Mesa tonight. I still need to toss some clothing in a bag as well.
Good luck Sean
JZ make the call - esp since the 2nd place seems to be a better fit. and make the counter offer - so far the place with the offer might be better than where you are now,but maybe not enough
Today is my only day of work this week. You think I wouldn't complain...
I like pickle juice! Also olive juice (green olives)!
Yes, being nice to TSA folks, always a good idea, especially when you set off the metal detector when you walk AROUND it! Whoppee for walking on crutches with a nice long rod in your back! Yay me! The LAX guy was very polite and felt me up better than some ex-gf. If I was gay I'd have asked for digits. Dude in Orlando, not as easy on the touch, or as polite. Not impolite, but not as friendly. Eh. It was the morning rush and lines around the block. Can't blame him.
Yay busy day. Sorry your still on hold their Sean. AM flights SUCK. I can totally commiserate with you, having left the hotel at 4am just a few weeks ago.
OK, back to ACC. (I really do hate this show).
I'll be seeing you in a few hours omnis, I'm still restoring my Xmas Carol files to my laptop drive so that I can get at whatever sounds might be needed.
Hey, omnis! Didja like the little gift we left for you after the overnight over stage hang?
I swear to God this is the last mememe post for a while, but: Could anyone take a quick look at the counter-offer before I hit "send"?
