"High ho, high ho, it's off to work I go..." Well, I am headed back into the, ah, er, 'friendly' skies tomorrow with a trip to Boston. I have a great crew which makes all the difference in the world. When you are trapped in a metal tube with the same eleven people for over twelve hours, it helps to like them. Plus, Boston is not a bad place to lay over. I actually like it there, quite a lot. I could live there, I think. Although the "Big Dig" seems to be a bit annoying. The "T" is nice though.
Today was full of nothing more than relaxation. I did, however, send several e-mails to west coast FAA officials about a little lie American management in San Jose is trying to pull over on us. Why the FAA? AA has said they are the ones ordering the change, where as I have knowledge to the contrary. I should really focus my efforts on writing a screenplay for airline personnel, I am telling you, it would make a great sitcom! I have also spent the last few days sending e-mails to members of the House of Representatives Transportation Committee and the Senate Health, Labor and something or other comittee regarding Sen. Kit Bond's (R-MO) "Aviation Employee Fairness Act." The bill forces third party arbitration for merging airlines to settle labor seniority and integration issues. Isn't it funny that Mr. Bond is from Missouri, better yet, St. Louis, and AA bought TWA, based in St. Louis, earlier this year. I have already recieved an e-mail from Hillary Clinton (D-NY, member of the Senate committee) and Harry Reid (D-NV) who is one of my state senators. What a pain in the ass!
Bethany has been working hard tonight on progress reports. They are due tomorrow, and she is not looking forward to some of the phone calls she's sure she'll get next week. Some parents think they have angels, when they really don't. Fortunately, most parents know their child's faults, and even warn Bethany of their little 'quirks' ahead of time. I remember those progress report days, mine were always spotless and full of praise. I lie, too.
We're having a garage sale this weekend, and none to soon! We've been holding on to shit we should have gotten rid of at the first one we had several months ago. I will be getting rid of some clothes I never wear anymore, and some tennis shoes along with other misc. crap. Bethany will be getting rid of the same. Most things go for a quarter or so, never a real money maker, but we're happy to get rid of it. Well, I am informed we need to go get Princess some litter, so, I best end and get a move on. It's late and I have to get up early in the morning.
