okay -- it works! yayyy.

i'm sitting here in my hotel room typing away on this wireless keyboard -- soo not easy to do. totally my fault for forgetting to bring my laptop. can't wait for it to come from OAK -- it should be arriving tomorrow.

had the longest flight in today - not because of time, but because of the freak 'difficult' cutomers who were sitting beside me. from the get go in oakland -- they had issues. after the fact, it was initially their seating assignments (not bad really - 26E & 26F - both together and one with a window -- it was just the last row). the main issue was that the lady's carry on was too big to fit in the immediate area and the flight attendant suggested she stow it in another row. the lady immediately became hostile and didn't want to part with her bag. an understandble thing -- but the flight attendant wasn't being particularly mean or evil either. things escalated to the point of aguing -- all the while causing a commotion onboard and the flight attendant giving up and calling an 'agent' to settle the problem. since i was flying with the pair (who were also sitting my row) i decided to lay low and let the ground crew settle the issue. by the time sandra came onboard an to the back -- the crazy lady proceeded to take her bag to were she was initially suggest to place it and chose to sit directly under it. mind you -- the flght was full and the seat was occupied by another gentleman was just at that moment coming to claim his seat! she had to be told to move back -- not an easy task, but she did it. during the flight -- the said couple decided to be even more rude and ignore any / all questions from the flight attendants (requests for snacks and drinks). it was just a comical situation throughout. most especially when she would't even give up her bag and asked to be moved to 'business class'. to bad jetblue is 100% coach. needless to say, they kept complaining most of the flight -- i tried to sleep -- i think i was able to get about 3 hours in. :-)

syracuse is nice -- i guess. way too 'country' for me. not in a bad way, mind you -- it's just the 'city' boy in me talking. our work schedule is so incredibly easy -- it's ridiculous -- basically just working 1 flight in a given shift of 8 hrs. i might go crazy with the amount of time on my hands. we'l see.
