    There is none of that nonsense up in the front of the plane. I would not fly if I had to ride in back.

    Going to a wedding all weekend only to come back to an entertaining thread that is locked before I can say how crazy you guys are sometimes.

    You will not be clapping when you see what the rental car costs.

    4 flights that may have warranted clapping, yet, I still didn't : engine blew, weren't sure the landing gear locked, abandoned take off, almost hit a plow in a blizzard at ord pilot pulled & throttled up and went around. Oh, yeah... Bonus #5, I guess the plane that crashed like minutes before we took off... Though we didn't know till we landed...

    why does Verizon think ads with this crazy bug-eyed rugamuffin tromping around in high heels like an elephant with a spear up it's butt makes me want to buy one of their cell phones/service?

    Because it doesn't. At all.

    Not really a rant, but.

    My parents were in a catastrophic car wreck on Friday. I know people sometimes say this lightly, but it’s really a miracle they are still Alive.

    My dad was bruised up pretty good, but otherwise unharmed.

    My mom is in critical condition, but stable. No signs of brain injury, or internal bleeding. But her legs are… really bad. Like, to the point where she may not walk again.

    I thank God they are alive at all, they were in a head on collision with another car who was estimated to be doing 80mph, they were doing 10-20

    New company edict - we want you to be trained & certified in xyz. To do so, you need to also be certified in 3 other things, which require 2+ weeks of training...

    ok, so if this is so important to the company, you're going to help clear hurdles right? Like getting the internal BS approvals, chargeability, explain to my current project/client, etc. right?

    Nope.

    You're going to provide multiple and flexible options for folks to attend training, right?

    Nope.
