Thanks, Laura. Is it a breach of etiquette to send a separate letter to potential boss informing him of the submitted application if that person is someone TCG knows and has worked with in the past?
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, if it's someone TCG has worked with in the past, I'd say heck no, totally drop that person a line and let them know he's put in an application!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Barb, could you do a soft garment bag type carryon for the gown, and get by with a smaller suitcase for everything else?

Our wings are not tired.
What meara said, sj.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Daisy Jane, insent. Hopefully you still have net access. Yikes, now incoming calls don't work either.

Nope. They've made carrying on requirements much stricter. They have to be much smaller AND you're only allowed one carryon-- and carryons now include purses, so you can't even carry a purse and something else anymore.
Feh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Barb, Is this airline specific? I flew on Alaska a couple of weeks ago, and was able to take both my carry on suitcase and a largeish computer case on board.

I think some of the smaller/regional airlines aren't quite so anal, Perkins. Frontier was pretty good about it when we flew to San Diego in February, and that's actually who I was going to fly to SF, except they quit flying out of Jacksonville effective immediately back in May. I had two options: either drive two hours to Orlando so I could still fly Frontier, or accept a refund on my flight and rebook.
I rebooked and wound up having to pay nearly $150.00 more plus flying out at 7AM instead of 10.
Really, really hating air travel right now.

No no no--it's one carryon and one "personal item". The purse is the "personal item". So you can have one suitcase and the purse. And they usually interpret "personal item" pretty damn loosely, so personal item=purse, backpack, laptop case, etc etc. Anything that's not a rolly suitcase can be a personal item, really. {Edit: trust the girl who flies every dang week}

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
She says it's a Jewish thing, but I dunno-- my mom used to try to have family meetings in the bathroom until I finally locked the door when I was about ten or so.
My mother STILL tries to do it, and gets slightly offended when I don't play along. ARGH.
