From today until Labor Day, we are done work on Fridays at 12:30 p.m. It is really a nice perk, although I’m told it’s only because the fall schedule is of such a pace that we all may not survive it. Much like Scarlett, I’ll worry about that tomorrow —…

Last year I received an email from USAir indicating they were going to take my 46,637 miles from me as I had not flown with them for eighteen (18) months. In an act of desperation — I EARNED those miles dammit! — I wrote a letter to USAir explaining my…
When I get up in the morning for work, I get in the shower, dry and “do” my hair, apply some make-up, get dressed and leave the house. During this time, my husband is still in bed, snoring away. I then make my 20+ mile commute, and sometime at about…

I have hit the wall in a big way. You know the wall, don’t you? You come in in the morning and even before you have put your stuff down (coffee, purse, laptop bag, keys, sunglasses) there’s a crisis that needs your attention. And basically, you don’t stop for the…
Tomorrow I will receive my six month “probationary” review at my company. 6 months, 26,000 miles, 14 flights,6 states, 6 site visits,4 meetings,2 countries,1 lost bag and6 paychecks (we get paid once a month). Can you guess which one is my favorite? Better the bag get lost than the paychecks…
