I'm finding myself having to ride Mainline Delta quite a bit more these days as my AirTran options have diminished from 4 flights a day to San Diego from Atlanta to only one or two and even an occasional none. It's a little frightening on how it will impact my commute as the Delta flights are pretty much always impacted and oversold, but I guess I'll have to make due. My schedule for October is going to be as financially successful due to the lack of available trips to pick up and the fact that I had to cut one of my trips in half to an obligation in Fulton County. If you forgot already, I'm set for a court appearance in relation to my speeding ticket that I got a couple of weeks back while driving to the airport.

This is only my 3rd time using Qumana, a free blog editor for Mac OSX and I have to admit that I sometimes find the interface much more accommodating than the Windows Live Writer. The reason for the transition back to using my Powerbook Ti is because I miss it. It's the truth but the 667 MHz is sometimes just frustrating. The battery life is long lasting and the size is great but the 30Gb hard drive also is a handicap. I wish that I just had two good computers to use and stick with instead of being all over the place. I have a broken HP dv1000 laptop at home that needs to be diagnosed (might need a new hard drive), a dual Pentium 3 1GHz tower that I've had for years which should still run, but I have no clue why it's not booting up and a box of parts sitting in Atlanta waiting to be put together.

I'm commuting on Delta Flight 1038 from SAN to ATL trying to get to my last two day trip of the month. September concludes with my schedule being completed @ 89% on-time arrivals and departures and the awesome fact that I was able to break the 100 hour credit mark! The Captain was an awesome character to fly with as we always went out and enjoyed the town. We always had some lunch or dinner with great conversation and even visited some random places like the mall in downtown Stamford, Connecticut or Orange Country Choppers in Newburgh, New York. It was one of the best months that I have had here at ASA.

The paycheck on the 15th of October is something that I'm really looking forward to! I've been working hard with the commute and all so hopefully it will it will pay off in one way or the other! :) You have to realize that I usually get credited about 70-80 hours a month and with the extra ~20 hours, it's going to boost my pay about a third of my usual. I'm young right so I should be trying to do this each month, but it just really depends if you could hack it. Exhaustion is something that I hate feeling, but when you fly with a good crew and have good trips, it only adds to the pleasure.

Being back home in San Diego more and more helps out in the "being grounded" feeling department but with the split of our crashpad in February, finding another place in Atlanta is up in the air. I'll have more on the living situation later but being with friends during the weekend in San Diego helps in recuperating the lost time.

With the impending launch of a new Macbook Pro, rumored to be announced on the 14th, my paycheck is going to be accounted for. I've been waiting for almost 7 years now and am in bad shape with my Titanium Powerbook 667. (I've been mainly using my IBM T43p on trips though so it hasn't been that bad)
