work overshare ... I screwed something up last year on a new prospect - involving a friend that manages the business - and today after 9 months of -- (edited) - JenBro Jan 6, 09:02 7
- that is great! hopeful you will get her bizness -- nm - Epiphany Jan 6, 09:21 1
  - I will be sure to let the board know the outcome - fingers crossed! -- nm - JenBro Jan 6, 09:32
- I've always found not making excuses and just saying "I screwed up" goes a long way. -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 09:11
- coolio, glad it worked out -- nm - budice Jan 6, 09:06 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - JenBro Jan 6, 09:32
- People are usually surprised when people fess up to screwing up. Which is sad. - sycor Jan 6, 09:06 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - JenBro Jan 6, 09:31
SoCal: 4.5 Earthquake this morning, about 6:45ish local. I felt it, momentary tremors. -- (link) - budice Jan 6, 08:58
Mission accomplished: Wife is safely in Jacksonville. Btw, f-you Alamo - oblique Jan 6, 08:57 15
- In case you're interested. There's an Airbnb for car rentals called Turo (was RelayRides) - budice Jan 6, 09:02 1
  - interesting. I could never do this with my car - oblique Jan 6, 09:03
- Just as an FYI, Alamo is owned by Enterprise (as is National) so they might all need to go on the list. - iSpam Jan 6, 09:01 5
  - I pretty much stick with Avis, and Hertz as a backup. - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:04
  - *extends list* - oblique Jan 6, 09:02 3
    - Went behind the scenes of an Enterprise shop one time... - budice Jan 6, 09:05
    - um..... - spamlet si Jan 6, 09:04 1
      - SLTLL -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:05
- "dead to me I say!" - Epiphany Jan 6, 08:59 4
  - best part is, if I had tried to do something like return the car late (technically 5 hours because she'd be returning it super early the next morning) - oblique Jan 6, 09:01 3
    - You should have burned the rental place down. Or at least torched one of their cars. - sycor Jan 6, 09:03 2
      - I felt like Steve Martin in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles while on the phone with them. I really wanted - oblique Jan 6, 09:04 1
        
        Make sure you don't get charged a no-show fee. I don't know if car rental places do that. -- nm - sycor Jan 6, 09:07
- Let me know if she needs anything! -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 08:58 1

LIR Poll: probably 4 years since my last Chipotle - Yoda Jan 6, 08:42 14
- Biggest problem I have lately besides the crisis is their lazy handling of it. -- nm - budice Jan 6, 08:48 5
  - *shrug* Seems fine to me. I see changes at the restaurant as a result. Not sure what else more aggressive they could do -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 08:55 1
    - I honestly thought they had been closing stores. I haven't been back since hearing about the issue, so, I'd say it's a bit undercommunicated. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 09:02
  - I haven't followed to closely. Do we know that the handling has been lazy, or have they tried but just failed to fix it? -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:54
  - very good point -- nm - Epiphany Jan 6, 08:50
  - Any press is good press! -- nm - Chipotle Jan 6, 08:48
- At least the same for me. I found it really salty, and haven't been back. -- nm - Roger More Jan 6, 08:47
- neva -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 08:43 1
  - Sorry, these polls are for people who like food -- nm - Yoda Jan 6, 08:48
- maybe 2 months. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 08:43 1
  - but I used to go twice a week, so that says alot. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 08:44
- never had...likely never will the way they are going -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:42 2
  - Yup. Also, someone here needs to step up and get a Five Guys on the go. That's a place I want to try. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 08:45
  - Same. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 6, 08:43
‘Bridge of Spies,’ ‘Carol,’ ‘Mad Max,’ ‘Revenant,’ ‘Sicario’ Nominated for ASC Awards -- (link) - LMS Jan 6, 08:41 2

  - Esto. -- nm - Yoda Jan 6, 08:46
Details on the new airline coming to Canada -- (link) - Beaker Jan 6, 08:38 22
- Canada needs a lot more airline competition. The airfares north of the border are obscene. -- nm - New Year's Mop Jan 6, 08:47 2
  - I don't think it's just about competition. It's about market size, and also about where people want to travel. - Roger More Jan 6, 09:08
  - well they will drop for those routes in the short-term as Air Canada and WestJet try and kill this company -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:47
- Heh - the destination options on this airline are Halifax, Hamilton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Kelowna and Abbotsford. -- (edited) - Roger More Jan 6, 08:44 17
  - i might try to do a weekend in Halifax in the summer if the prices stay low. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:50 4
    - watch for the extra charges though. "Oh, $45 clothing fee wasn't included" -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:51 3
      - oh, the budget airlines all do that. i can easily do a summer weekend with a small carry-on. - Andie Jan 6, 08:53 2
        
        Can you fit it under your seat? We have a budget airline here that charges for overhead space -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:59 1
        
        for two days? i could, yes. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:00
  - This is how some airlines start. A bit of point to point flying from lesser served airports. Allegiant does a lot of it here. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:50 1
    - Oh, I realise this. But Hamilton and Abbotsford are the only two airports near major centres, and they're both 70 kilometres away without good - Roger More Jan 6, 09:14
  - yeah, it seemed like they just threw darts at the map and said "ok, these seven it is" -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:46 4
    - they said they were targeting secondary airports near major centres - much less expensive for them to land at those. - Andie Jan 6, 08:49 3
      - If that's the case, then my Allegiant reference above is a very strong comparison. - ty97 Jan 6, 08:52 2
        
        we flew them to Sanford multiple times, thought they were great -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:55
        
        it's absolutely the model they are going for. - Andie Jan 6, 08:53
  - lol Saskatoon. Like anyone goes to that province on purpose. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 08:45 4
    - Says the man from New Brunswick. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:51 3
      - we have Storm Chips...although the company is in a massive strike and fight with the union right now -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:52 2
        
        Actual quote from the ownwe during negotiations: "So I'm done. Carl [Flanagan, national UCFW representative], screw you and your f--king union." -- (link) - Beaker Jan 6, 08:53 1
        
        he's brought in scabs now too, so things are going to go bonkers there very soon -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 08:55

  - thanks Jenbro - Epiphany Jan 6, 08:58 1
    - right back at 'cha -- nm - JenBro Jan 6, 09:03
- Cause we all sell apples round here. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 08:41

- would the travel include Chicago? - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 08:31 7
  - yes and Indy, and NY and Florida - and Hawaii - all around the world goes Pippy - Epiphany Jan 6, 08:36 4
    - well, there is that! - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 6, 08:36 3
