AFF'ers lets play a quick game:

To celebrate this upcoming milestone:



I did one of the following:

A) Booked some flights with VA.
B) Have sent a letter to QF demanding that they should by now know who I am, and I no longer have to DYKWIA tantrum when priority boarding fails.
C) Sent a PM to Red Roo complaining about the lack of LTP and how they should think about LTWP1.
D) Joined the Chairmans lounge and have promised this will be my last post because what happens in the CL stays in the CL.
E) Attached 14 extra bag tags on my carry on so that every flight im on people will realise that im LTG and must be bloody important.
F) All of the above.

Definitely 'A'.

Because anything else would require communicating with QF.

Was just looking around AFF and noticed I pass the 10 year mark on AFF:

Join Date
17th July 2004


So 1 week past 10 years.

I note that QF WP, drron and Straitman have been here longer.

Does this mean you stop posting for 3 months as you take LSL ?

Deffo 'A' - hang on to the moment for a while ...

Well Nibali increased his lead over everyone in the top 35.
An emphatic winner of Le tour.

So remember to backup the backup if it is critical. I keep a separate HDD at work so am not too put out if it is a HDD failure - but I hope it isn't.

Thanks JT. Your post got me shopping for a device to store away from home.......been thinking about it but never got around to doing it.

Although it doesn't fit your requirements of "keyring" size - I purchased WD My Passport for Mac 1 TB.

Smaller than my wallet - it's perfect for the HLO crowd.

Size matters but you pay for it, same capacity in a thumb drive $1000

Gosh.

But it is 'only' $1/Gb, which a few years ago was the going rate for HDDs of lessor capacity.

Depends on what jobs are you applying

Do you mean writing or typing ?

 

[medhead]

Do you mean writing or typing ?

Writing in a general sense, by actually typing.

Really having trouble translating "You know I'm good, so just give me the job" into corporate speak.

Thankfully I left the tribute (you b@stard) to Rick off.

And if you want to get it

Funnily enough, I'm not sure if I do want the job. Might be part of the reason I'm having trouble with motivation.

If Penfolds is helping you, make sure you re-read it before sending it tomorrow.

That's why I employ proof readers. Gone now.If there are mistakes, well.......No loss I guess.

That always makes it harder. Do a quickie application and if it's meant to happen it will. Good luck either way. EDIT sounds like you did
