What the fuck.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I am rapidly running out of airlines I am willing to fly on. When do we get teleportation again?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That is unconscionable, but not surprising. Flying cars. Who's on that?
Happy Birthday, Tom, and I second the wish for you having something as wonderful as a Scola Smile.
Good for you Burrell. I kind of wish you could coast on your laurels, at least for a little bit.

I want to see police pushing back, too. What an incredible waste of time and resources.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We're troubleshooting an issue, and we've determined that the servers that need to communicate over port 80 can't. Tested two different ways. I asked the developer to test this Monday, but that's neither here or there.
I know that the infrastructure team runs the same tests we did, because I've asked them for sooper sekrit powers. But only the network admins offsite have those. I've been told not to ask them, because it takes a long time. Not even to walk over and tell the liaison this is important. Instead we're not doing anything, because we seem to need infrastructure to tell us to our face they can't do anything else? I'm not sure.
But my head is killing me enough that I wouldn't even drive home, just sleep for a while.

United needs to offer them apology and thousands of dollars in travel vouchers on another airline.

I find it unlikely that United will apologize, because that would involve admitting fault, and they clearly have no intention of doing so. Frankly, I had no idea that the captain had UNLIMITED discretion on an airplane. Aren't there guidelines?

Howdy.
Today's new discovery in the absurdity of this mess and yet more proof that the decision to fire me has already been made, and possibly an end date selected...one of the items with which "there continues to be errors and inaccuracies made" is something that has not been part of my job FOR 8 MONTHS!!!!

Oh, do point that out, msbelle. Do you have the memo or email in which it was removed from your position? (I see no reason to make this easy for them: they're assholes and deserve to have it shown.)
