Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose

Posted on April 18, 2011 By Sister Rain

I am watching the TV Land Awards and feeling so very old. The Cosby Show, The Facts of Life, Family Ties and Welcome Back Kotter. My elementary and junior and senior high school years. The Huxtables, the Keatons, Vinnie and Boom Boom and Horshack. Blair and Jo and Tootsie and…

I Apologize and Now I Don’t

Posted on April 13, 2011 By Sister Rain

In the ongoing war with USAir, a war which I am only aware of, they ended up putting 1,000 “Customer Appreciation Bonus” points into my account today even though they said they were going to then they said Oops!, no they weren’t and then today they did. So I apologize….

Living The Dream

Posted on April 13, 2011 By Sister Rain

This woman who was unemployed for three years spent Tuesday night in the Presidential Suite at a 5 star hotel in San Diego. There was a piano in my room for gosh sakes! The theme song from “The Jeffersons” played in my head the entire time . . .

Steerage

Posted on April 11, 2011 By Sister Rain

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I am having some struggles with USAir. Of course, the use of the word “struggles” implies that they are struggling back which they are certainly not. They are going about their business which apparently is giving people miles…

Posted on April 10, 2011 By Sister Rain

I have written several times about my dislike of USAir. Click HERE for my most recent posting. On April 4th I received the above email from them. It was entitled “They’re waiting in your account!”. Then on April 9th I received another email from them which they had the nerve…

When Bad Technology Happens To Good Geeks

Posted on April 9, 2011 By Sister Rain

Sunny, dry day in Pennsylvania after a week of clouds and rain. No work today — at least none that I have to drive to. Today is filled with wash and trying to put my house back together after a week of living in it. And fixing things that aren’t…

The Good Old Days . . . They Just Weren’t So Good At The Time

Posted on April 6, 2011 By Sister Rain

It took me 2 hours to get home tonight because of an accident on the turnpike. It usually takes me 45 minutes to an hour. For three years my commute to “my job”, which was searching for a new job, was about 10 seconds, from my bedroom to our office….

Earn New Miles But Keep The Old — I Wish

Posted on April 6, 2011 By Sister Rain

In the last five weeks, I have flown almost 12,000 miles with another 6,000+ coming my way next week. Fourteen months ago an airline who shall remain nameless, (OK I name it HERE), stripped over 46,000 miles from me because I had not flown with them in 18 months. No…

Feeling Dehydrated Already

Posted on April 4, 2011 By Sister Rain

I’m back in the office today, having BlackBerry and other technical problems. Such a culture shock to be on-site all week then come back to office politics and other nonsense. Why can’t we bottle that feeling of success and a job well done and drink it when we are back…

Returning To Home Plate

Posted on April 3, 2011 By Sister Rain

Once again, I apologize for the lapse in posting. I was away all week managing a meeting and had no time to write or eat or use the bathroom . . . OK, I might be exaggerating a little bit. When I left home, we had had snow and ice…
