It looks a hell of a lot like an itinerary, in point of fact. The biggest difference is that usually an itinerary will say NOT A TICKET on it somewhere. That said, most airlines it doesn't matter which you have - they can still look it up to print your boarding pass.

It will look like an itinerary, and somewhere it should say "e-ticket number" or "record locator" followed by a number. That's all you need. It's electronic, it's in the system.

I called the agency, sounding like a moron, and confirmed that electronic tickets are, in fact, electronic.

They very sweetly sent me the following email to pass along:

An E-Ticket is basically a paper less ticket. The passenger needs to have there State issued ID ready and have a copy of there itinerary just in case. When checking in all the Passenger needs to do is show the ID and state the flights that they are traveling on. Its always good to keep your Itinerary handy incase you need a Airline record locator or flight number but these days everything is E-Ticket so the Airports process everyone rather quickly and normally just the ID is needed. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask! Have a good day and safe travels!!

See, its not that unnamed attorney was confused or concerned, its that he was CHEWING ME OUT. Sighhhh.

I bet he broke Joe's iPod. It was an e-smash.

Um, does he not get that an e ticket is not, in fact, a ticket.

An electronic ticket looks like an itinerary, not like a traditional ticket. The attorney looks like an idiot.

Ack, MM! You caught the clumsy! I'm sorry.

Maybe he's thinking of the boarding pass that you can print out when you check in online? Still crazy and In The Wrong, just I'm trying to figure out what he's looking for.

He's looking for his MOMMY!!!!!

I swear. Some of the people I work for are trapped in some developmental stage where they want people to hand them things and say "this is your milk. this is your cookies. you're the bestest smartest little boy in this office." ::pat pat pat::

Neither House nor Wilson was objecting to the idea of Wilson loving House, the argument was whether finding the female version of House was a good thing.

I'm trying to imagine a female House and keep coming up with an educated Faith. Which isn't terribly right, is it.

Teppy, I love the brunette look for you!

Ok, so I handed off that resume, and the guy seemed receptive, but of course, they have to open the position up for other candidates, and all I really have right now is an assurance that I get an interview. I know I have as good a chance as anybody, and a better chance than at least one other person who might want to apply. But you know, it's a win-win situation for me: I love my job exactly as it is, so I wouldn't be unhappy if I don't get the job as house manager (so long as the person they do hire does a decent job); I think I can do a good job for the folks in that home, get along pretty well with most of the other staff already, and the raise wouldn't hurt my wallet.

ETA: the sense-making.

I had to call the city. The work seems to have stopped on my street. They did a little yesterday afternoon and nothing today. No one was there to answer the phone. I want to know when my driveway will be accessible again. I wish someone would understand that even if the answer is " somewhere in the next 10 - 20 days", it is way better than me fretting about this everyday

If you've been watching this season, the Amber that Wilson is seeing is also known as Cutthroat Bitch, who was one of the last of the Princeton-Plainsboro Idol contestants for one of House's jobs.
