Many changes have happened and are going to happen. First, the kids went back to school last week. They love it. My daughter is a 5th grader and at her school it means she is a middle schooler. Of course, she is feeling all grown up. My son is a 3rd grader and really likes his teacher.
The company I work for is going away. It means another company is taking over and we are getting the short end of the stick. No more buddy passes, no ZED fares. Yuck. And the pay goes down but they will pay $1 more per hour if you work the counter. So, I'll actually be making a little more money per hour. And if I stay my classification, it means my travel will be limited. The supervisor had a meeting a couple of weeks ago and told us this information with glee. He can't stand me. There is another flex employee who travels a ton and he can't stand that guy, either. At first, it sounded like it would be 30 flight days per year per employee. Which means that for my whole family we would only be able to do 15 round trips a year for all of us. I have asked more questions and it sounds like it's 30 flight days per year per eligible traveler. I think we could live with this and it wouldn't impact me as much. Take that, supervisor! I still need to see it in writing before I get too excited, though.
So, it's Labor Day weekend and I'm stuck at home because I work Sundays and Mondays. My husband and kids flew to Portland, Maine for the weekend and will hopefully be home tomorrow (the joys of standby travel). The kids are going to see their 99 year old great Grandmother (Nana). Lucky kids to have a great grandmother!
Well, that's it for now.
