| Allen's been gone most of the week for work, but he's flying home tonight. We've found ways to keep in touch while he's gone though.

| This post should be read with a grain of salt. It's possible that I'm just cranky.
I kind of hate this "30 Things Every Woman Should Have and Should Know By the Time She's 30" list that the Internet seems to love so much. Why should my life milestones be overwhelmingly things I've bought for myseland pop psychology about relationships. Why so much about finding ways to leave (painful) things behind? [4. When to try harder and when to walk away. ... 9. That you can’t change the length of your legs, the width of your hips, or the nature of your parents. 10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.] How about finding the passions and desires to drive you forward? How about acknowledging the bad habits [***], and accepting that it will take longer to work on them still. Why so much about taking care of yourself (14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine...) and nothing about striving to be a better citizen in your community, a better steward of the world, a better child of God?
Why should anyone conceit to tell me where I ought to be at this point in my life anyway? And is it a sign of my age that I'm cranky about this? | | |
| Happy Easter, old friends and new! We rocked out at a Saturday evening Easter service, and even the attendance for that service spilled into the overflow rooms. Even though I've been in a mood during the last week, it is good to be Loved. | | |
| Changing your name due to marriage on your frequent flier accounts: more difficult than you might expect.
Delta - I faxed in my documentation in the afternoon, and by the following morning my online account was updated with the new name. Way to go Delta on your efficiency! I've always liked you, if only for your nummy cookies. I know they're probably terrible for me, but fat & calories don't count at 30,000 feet altitude, right?
American Airlines - I faxed in my documentation, and it only took 3 days. Not bad American.
US Airways - I had to mail that in, which was annoying. But they still managed to make the change within a week of me dropping the letter in the mailbox.
United Airlines - At first I think this is the superior system, because I can send my documents over email. A few days later I call customer service and I'm told that it takes at minimum 7 working days, at maximum 15 working days, to process. Why so long, United Airlines? My manager would call that "slow as Christmas." Worse, I let the 15 days pass before calling customer service again, to be told that I had sent my information to the wrong email address. But wait, I say. I'm looking at the website right now, which very clearly states the email address I'm supposed to use, which doesn't match what you're telling me. The customer service representative said "I'm very sorry about that, ma'am", but you know I don't think they were sorry even a little bit. | | |
| I get to interview high school students for an internship position! We got a boatload of resumes, so I'm looking through them now to try to pick out a smaller group to interview. But these resumes are all crazy impressive - I already want to hire them all. Also, one of them has a cover letter - adorable! It's addressed "Dear Sir or Madam:" You guys, I'm the "Madam"! (That sounded more funny and less inappropriate in my head.) | | |
