Why I love Air TRAVEL

I had the opportunity to ride on the new Northwest (Delta) I was at the airport I knew that is was going to close to make my plane so I asked if we could speed up the check in process the agent said yes so I thought I will make my plane. The Agent took me took a kiosk to check in and it did not work, I flagged her back down and told her of My plight and she said I could get into a new line and that would not help me she then said that she was to busy and that was the best she could do and walked away. I missed my flight but got re booked I had 4 hours until my flight so I started to look into other destinations that would speed up my day and I did find a couple of options so I went to a gate agent and said I had missed my flight could you help me look into getting me a different flight and the gate agent said " we have a new computer system and it's hard for us to use so could I use the courtesy phone and call a Delta agent" at that point I gave up. I will get to start the process over tomorrow and I hope and believe it will be better if not I will be back here again to recount the story.

why O why

I traveled to Grand Rapids MI. to do some training for our dealers. the three of us went to dinner the night before the school at Smokey Bones and the hostess that sat us put us in the only section with a guy waiter. Why if three Guys walk into a restaurant does the host put them with a guy waiter. Would the sever not have a better chance for larger tips if you took three guys and put them with a female server? I would like to point out that this is not the first time this has happened to us as a group or while I have been by myself.

Is zero tolerance the only option

My daughter came home from school the other day and told me a little story. She was walking down the hallway between class and saw here cousin they said hi and hugged (as lots of girls did when I was in school)the teacher gave them a 1st warning no touching in school second warning would result in detention, now I understand the no pda rule for girls and boys as I do not condone kissing and other displays in public(by the way a pda is what I used to keep me on schedule) but do we always have to draw the line at zero. I know this is easier to enforce but it takes away all thought and reason in the very place used to foster quality minds used to make good decisions. I do want to point out I do not think I have all the answers I would just like to believe that we could move back a little in time.

WHAT ???

Why do large corportions think that they have special rules. I saw where a large software company( hutchinson tech.) wants 20 MILLION dollars to maintian jobs at one plant. Is it not the job of the company to make money to pay for the jobs, we paid them to come to town and build the plany and now we need to pay them in the form of low intrest loans to stay. I keep waiting for the goverment to bail me out instead of the schools, cities, states, and country telling me they are also broke and they need more money. all I know is that sooner or later ( I belive that it will be sooner) we will all be bbroke and where will they get the money from then!!!!

Where to start

I always wondered what it would be like to have my own blog, now that I have one I find it only has created more questions in my mind. I would like this blog to be not only iformational but a free flowing river of thoughts, questions and answers.
