Et mon amie la rose morte ce matin

[cyrano]

Very pleasant low key gaming night tonight. People did post-adventure shopping, then I invited everybody over for wine and meeting the new guy, and then we went out and found a bar brawl so I could get to fourth level. (RP *and* XP! R0x0R!)
I just got a pair of candlesticks in the mail from my mom, and I'm planning to call her as soon as I can get some time.
And in honor of discovering once again that I can't communicate properly, I make here this one time offer to answer a question from each of my adoring readers. Something that confuses you? Something you're afraid will offend me? Here's your chance. And I promise not to answer every question with
"What? ....What? ....What? ....I'll have to call you back! There's an enemy agent in the club!
(which reminds me. Damn but I need to see the new Besson flick.)

Which airline is it that you're working for? What are you going to be doing for them?

Thanks!

I'll be working for SkyWest, and if going to Salt Lake City for a week isn't good enough, then I'll be working as a Gate Agent for them.
It's a customer service position, basically. I give passengers information, take their tickets, change their flight plans, that kind of thing.

You have probably the hardest job an airline has. Because no matter what, people will crap all over you everyday. Sort of like being a statue in Trafalger Square.

Interesting, I looked up SkyWest's website and found they don't appear to be an actual airline, they just run flights under someone else's name (like United and Delta). Is that true? (Or is that proprietary information that I shouldn't have because I am the enemy agent in the club?)

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

A lot of the flights they run are commuting-type flights under the auspices of other airlines. This, apparently, is the big reason they're one of the few airlines still turning a profit--Delta and United cover a lot of the overhead.

What's the new Besson flick?

So what is it for you...snails or oysters? ;-)

"Courier" is too big a word for Shrub's Americans. (Plus it's usually associated with small things, not big things, and I had the impression from the ads that the conveyed item in question is a car.)

Prolly the same reason "Croupier" didn't get much attention. =)

My taste includes both snails and oysters, as Sir Larry was once noted to say. Or, as the scarecrow said, people do go both ways.

Of course, my appetite hasn't been much recently, now that I think on it. Upset stomach from a previous meal.

Boxers or briefs?

Do you really want to know? I mean, really?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Briefs. And in blue or black, usually.
Want to see me play the saxophone?

[miss-friday.livejournal.com]

No.

Q

[wilson-lizard.livejournal.com]

How much wood can a woodchuck...

um.. Does working for an airline mean you get cheap enough airfare to come visit this way more often?!

Re: Q

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

It is quite possible. Is Olympia closer to Pasco than Seattle? I have no idea myself, but suspect that nothing is closer to Pasco.

Re: Q

[wilson-lizard.livejournal.com]

I dunno.. Where's Pasco?

Re: Q

[miss-friday.livejournal.com]

No. Olympia might even be further away, I'd have to measure on the map and I don't want to right now. The only things nearer to Pasco are Kenniwick and Richland.

For the person who asked where Pasco is: Pasco is in southeastern WA and is near no easily recognizable metropolis. It is near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, if that means anything to you.

Re: Q

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

It was about a 4 hour drive from Seattle, for me, but I dawdled.

(There's not a whole lot there, to the touristy eye. Don't take this as an impolite question, but why're /you/ there?)

Re: Q

[miss-friday.livejournal.com]

If you're asking me, and I'm not quite sure if you are, I'm not there right now. I'm in LA contemplating lunch. However, I've spent quality time in and around Pasco/Kennewick/Richland throughout my young life, mostly on road vacations ending up somewhere else. Currently my best friend lives in Grandview, and the Tri-Cities are the closest thing resembling a metrolopis to her.

Re: Q

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

And if you're asking me, I am in Pasco because it's the SkyWest jump point between SeaTac and Idaho Falls, where my parents live.

Re: Q

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

I was, in fact, asking both yon Cyrano and Ms. Friday. (Mmm. Luuunch.)

Both of those make sense. (I think I even went through Grandview, too.)
