RSS Feedthe time that i went to dallas for thanksgiving
first things first … i decided to do some redesigning this evening and have changed things up a bit. not a whole lot of major changes but i did need to do some work. still have a few minor cosmetic and function changes to make on the site but i’m nearly done.
i have journeyed down to dallas for the thanksgiving holiday. i was paranoid about leaving early because i was afraid that i was going to miss my flight or get stuck in a long security line as i have in the previous two years. i got to the airport with plenty of time to spare only to be greeted with an incredibly short security line (three people ahead of me). i was through security in less than 5 minutes. wasn’t expecting such an empty airport.
the big thing about my trip was the fact that i was testing out the new mobile boarding passes that american airlines is trying out. i was thinking this would be awesome. of course i was nothing but let down. oddly enough i had no issues at security. the TSA agent took my phone, scanned the matrix bardcode and i was on my way. but then when i went to board the plane, i had issues. the gate agent was being completely rude and was incredibly annoyed that i had used this. she barely made an effort to scan the barcode before giving up and resorting to manually entering my information in the system. so in the end, i got treated rudely and it took longer to board because of the incident. i don’t know what it is with american airlines lately. i used to be a huge fan and i went 5 years without ever flying another airline. between this incident and the last couple of times i’ve flown them, i’m now thinking i should start considering a new preferred airline. i flew united for the first time ever last month and was rather pleased.
other than that nothing too exciting has been going. i’m trying to enjoy the time off and relax a bit before i head back to work next week. the next few months are going to be rather busy, especially since i have almost half of december off.
the time that i remembered how cold the wind could be
while i am excited that winter is officially making its presence known, i am adjusting to just how cold the wind could be. as i was walking home from the train stop i thought my ears were going to fall off. i suppose it’s time to bring out the winter hats. i brought out the scraves this week which made me remember how much i enjoy wearing them.
more to come soon …
the time that it was a good week
tuesday evening was just amazing. what a great feeling to see obama elected. even more exciting is that joe’s vote helped make indiana a blue state.
i am amidst trying to get caught up on brothers & sisters. it’s hands down one of the best shows i had never seen. i can’t wait until i’m done with season one and can knock out season two and then finally get caught up with season three.
damn i forgot what i was going to write about. i’m sure i’ll remember eventually.
