You got overtime coin ... while I got a bag of coal and an ACP phone call last week
No wonder that yearly management recruitment letter never finds me ...

I currently fly for an ACMI outfit, and with them got the OT. But, hopefully this "logistics" fail will help bring the furloughees back on property.

Looks like DHL was just as timely
(....yeah, not surprising)
The wife wanted a particular cook book that was back ordered on Amazon
Another Amazon-related retailer in California had it in stock at a slightly higher price, but promised delivery by Dec 20
When it didn't arrive as promised, I double checked on-line and was dismayed to see they elected DHL as their express shipping company --- however, their on-line tracking showed a Dec 24 expected delivery
Last night, they slipped it to Dec 26
It amazes me any company in the US still ships with DHL domestically

You know people are flying home today on Christmas day. They are doing their jobs without problems. Stop whining! We all have jobs to do and we have to work. Deal!

Hopefully everyone involved made at least double-time and a half.
