I’ve always regarded Southwest Airlines as being something of a joke when it comes to airlines. This is without ever having actually flown with them. The flight crews look like they’re all going to go golfing rather than operate an airplane, and fighting for your seat just doesn’t seem right. But they’ve been right up there with Jet Blue in airline ratings lately. Highest on-time percentage, highest customer satisfaction, etc, etc. (I’ll take a moment to point out that my old friends at ASA ranked absolute bottom of the list in 2003 in every category, except number of customer complaints.)…
I’m amazed at how well the E-bay stuff is doing. Looks like we’ve already cleared $320 and there’s still stuff left to go. I got to thinking that it was a sizeable amount of money, and maybe I should buy a used laptop with it. But after thinking about it, I decided that I really didn’t want another old laptop, as I really need something modern enough to handle the GPS and display maps without being horribly sluggish. $300 won’t buy a nice laptop, and I’d just as soon wait until I could afford one. Besides, we’re not traveling much…
We’re selling a bunch of stuff on E-Bay. Most of the auctions end tomorrow, so now is your last chance to bid. You’ll notice our beautiful breakfast area table acts as the background. We sold some wedding presents in the first batch. Berck took pictures of everything with his Nikon, sent the film off to be developed, and then scanned the photos. That took a while. For the this batch we borrowed one of his flight instructor’s digital camera. The current auctions are going far better than we expected. Most of the stuff is parts from our laptops that died.…
I took the Keirsey Temperament Sorter online just now, and it scored me as a J!!! I couldn’t believe it. It also said I’m an S, which is understandable…I always score borderline between S and N. At least good ol’ I and T stayed solid. It probably has something to do with my job. I count things for the first half of the day, then I pile things in neat stacks until it’s time to go home. If that doesn’t make a J out of a P, I don’t know what will. Also I’m in a time in my life…
Berck got me a present today. It’s a cool, black keyboard. It’s also very quiet. I always feel self conscious typing on a loud keyboard…all my backspaces are clearly audible. But this new keyboard is completely silent. I love it! Berck, on the other hand, prefers really loud keyboards. I’ve never really understood why.
