forgot to bid

I know, she has so many bruises on her shins that I was just waiting for the accusatory "now what happened mister? Do we need dfcs?" no, you just need to accuse me of sucking.

Btw, I thought that was you that asked or I dont remember who asked I just didn't want to come across as a father more concerned with the bill than the girl. So that's totally on me, don't feel bad because it's my bad.

I will say if you've never seen your 2 year old on a seditive it can be very funny. She put one leg in the air, started telling some stories, her eyes were wide open and her speech slured. The nurse was laughing very hard and kept saying now you know what this looks like for later... yeah, not interested in that right now.

Somebody posted this on another website trying to determine what T3 was like back when Pan Am was at it's peak. This is from Live and Let Die from 1973:

88,
This is about stopping the whipsaw between the different DCI groups. If they can stop the spiral, it can establish a floor for us to go up from.

VT (Voluntary Temp) was a great deal for commuters. It didn't affect anyone in the category you were temping to as your bid was processed after everyone who was normally in the category.

For example:
You're a NYC7ERA and an ATL7ERA temps into your category for November. If you are a blockholder (we would have called you NYC7ERB, where the B is for Block, which is equal to REG) or a RES, you will bid and be processed by PBS prior to the ATL7ERA, even if he is senior to you. In this way it didn't hurt anyone, and allowed the company to even out their staffing.

I was a commuter that lived between MSP and DTW and I would have a standing VT card in for whichever base I wasn't permanently based at. It was an equal commute to either base, and I preferred to be VT'd so the company would positive space my commute, pay for hotel, and pay per diem for the entire month (whether I was used or not)

It has to be worded just right, and I see why you're hesitant, but it really was a great deal for commuters, and like I said the rest of the guys didn't really care because the VT's always bid last.

On the lighter side: Which aged worse - T3 or Roger? Close call. Actually, Roger did a pretty good job in Live and Let Die considering it was his first shot at replacing Sean Connery as Bond, not exactly an easy thing to pull off.


Cultural break from the grind - Which character (not actor) was the greatest Hero of the twentieth century?

I'm thinking either James Bond or Captain Kirk. Both have spanned the last four decades of the century quite successfully. OTOH I'm sure I am probably overlooking someone from an earlier period. Superman also comes to mind but he had quite a drought between the TV show and the first movie.
