There is a the blue stuff in the sky today.  Not real sure what it is, but I think that I have read about it in text books when I was a kid.  Could it be an actual real life blue sky?

i like the new avatar LOTS.

NRG42 - 2013-04-16 10:46 AM I feel ridiculously happy today for no reason, just thought I would share. 

Kido - 2013-04-16 12:49 PM

glad to hear!  I must have misplaced it and you found it.  VERY Stressful couple weeks.  Test is done, so that's a relief.

NRG42 - 2013-04-16 10:54 AM

Like you, I just found it today too!  How was the test?

Kido - 2013-04-16 12:12 PM

It makes me smile!

I need a smile or two.

So many jokes, so little time.

Where is Tony when you need him?

Surveying was elementary.  Seismic?  Rough.  I'm 50/50 on how I feel.  I wouldn't be surprised either way.  But I would be disappointed.  I never failed any significant exam in my life.  This might be a first.

 

BUT!  I was using studying and other stuff as an excuse to stay on the couch.  I'm planning to start a running plan and drop some weight tonight...

Makes me smile too!  And I can't help but sing the Batman song in my head in Peter's voice every time I see it. 

 

ETA:  Woot!  Toppage!

So I did the brain fart of all brain farts that culminated in a VERY interesting scenario last Friday.

I had to go just South of Richmond, VA to give a talk last Friday.  Since it costs a small fortune to go directly into Richmond, I got a flight to DC, rented a car and drove down.  Anyway, I've known about this for a while, and the wifie was in NYC at the same time and about a month ago, when I booked the flight, we were originally going to meet in NYC and I would book multiple one way flights.  That fell through and I just booked, what I thought, was an in and out.  In Thursday, out Friday.

Yeah.  not so much.  I was definitely in Thursday.  That went off without a hitch.  And on Friday, as I'm driving back to DC to go to Reagan National, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting access to the flight I thought I was on through my United App.  Well, that is because for some god foresaken reason, I booked the return trip for tomorrow, not last Friday.  Yep.  I didn't even screw it up where I was a week off, I was 5 days off.  WTF!?!?!

So I calmly walked up to the ticket counter.  Explained my situation.  Patiently waited for the ticket agent to stop laughing.  She nicely informed me that I would get charged through the nose if she did it so she phoned the Premier Hot Line for me.  I then explained my situation to the woman on the phone.  I again waited patiently for her to stop laughing.  And by some miracle, I was actually able to get on the flight that I thought I had booked.  I literally got the last seat on the plane.  2 hours before it was scheduled to take off.

Now, I know I'm getting older, but jeez o'pete!!!!  I've never done that kind of crap before!  So now I'm submitting my expenses and HOPING finance will ok it. 

Your resident airhead.

pitt83 - 2013-04-16 1:48 PM How much was it? I'd certainly catch hell for that. Plus, Reagan is extortion pricing anyway. but, Hotwire is good with me for hotel brain farts. I've moved tons of times and they either refund or give me "hotdollars" to use for my next booking. I book 100+ nights a year through them, so...

crowny2 - 2013-04-16 2:51 PM

Typical United Transfer fee of $150.  And it was hella cheaper on United than anywhere else.  Richmond was quoting $960 for an overnight flight.  Before my screw up, this was $217.
