I put practically all of my purchases on my credit card, because I get rewards points. But my bank gives me a better interest rate on my savings account if I make five debit card purchases per month, so I've started doing that -- the first five lunch/coffee/whatever cheap stuff purchases of each month go on debit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I GOT TRAVEL APPROVAL. Now to conquer the travel website. Not a small thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
KLM (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij) has to make an investment t make seat and greet work. So they think there's a PR payoff, since it's free. Somehow it's going to increase customer satisfaction or something related enough to bring in a profit or just make their flyers happy puppies. All I can wonder--was it really cheap? Does management really think a significant portion of their customers like that? Expect that sort of treatment? Enough for an ROI (Return On Investment)?
I dunno where that comes from.
A few days ago I read about an app that looked like a reference to an iPad game that was basically online Pictionary. With a touch of Hangman. Does anyone know what the game is called?

I am getting nitpick(ier). I just corrected an NPR post about Suzanne Collins and her father by linking to a NYT article.
I'm an English NERD!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
what I want:
have a person sit next to me on the plane who is quiet, does not have BO, and who will not watch porn or invade my personal space more than is absolutely necessary.
The FB shit has GOT to go.
I wonder what an employer would think of me: I am not on FB and while I am on twitter, I would not disclose that since I don't use my real name nor do I want to be found by professional associates.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I almost want a prospective employer to ask for my FB password just so I can tell them to go to hell.

I feel like we should have a dummy buffista profile whose name/addy changes as needed to help people out.

I'd turn down a potential employer who asked that of me. One asked me for work product from a previous job, and I turned him down. He pushed it, but I couldn't cover the surprise. I told him it was proprietary, and that I was prepared to whip up something representative, but I wasn't going to refer to an actual business case of a previous employer. Seriously.
