For the few of you that were reading this a LONG time ago you may recall my confusion and questioning of airline mathematical principles way back when. Basically, they had leg A to B to C cheaper than just leg B to C by itself, on the same plane. Apparently I need to expand that theory to cover the entire travel based industry though based on my recent experience with hotels. I continue to be baffled, but read on and maybe someone else can explain this basic math to me that I can not seem to grasp.
What has happened to the idea of customer service this days? Seems like it has been slowly slipping away and continues to get worse and even vanishing completely.
Of several things that I have noticed of late is the seeming price creep and amount of expense that I have had recently on my lunch dining experience. Combine that with a similar creep in my weight again and I decided I have to get motivated and do something about it. A quick observation that came about with some conversation from a friend is how I really do not mind that $2.00 – $4.00 lunch that you can get around at various places, especially if you watch just a little bit and are willing to be flexible on given days.
Is MS sabatoging Firefox or is Firefox just having some issues? In the last week or so I have started having a lot of crashes, lockups, and blue screens of death on my system. I had been trying to figure things out and had looked at several things. The error reporting kept suggesting it was a problem with an out of date USB device driver, but that was not the case. Everything was up to date, which was another it suggested might be the problem. I was grasping at seeming straws to find a solution.
Somehow it seems appropriate that I am sitting here in a bar having a drink as I begin the writing of this blog, considering that a long bunch of drinking is exactly how this whole thing got started. For those that have paid attention, you know that there was a baby on the way. In fact, if you happened to catch for the day or two that it was up, you may have seen that the due date was less that four and half months away.
