Reservations of an Airline Agent
After Surviving 130,000 Calls From The Traveling Public

I work in a central reservation office of an airline company. After more than 130,000 conversations-all ending with "Have a nice day and thanks for calling"-I think it's fair to say that I'm a survivor.

Reading the comments of another journal it hit me I've been here on Live Journal for almost 5 years now. 3,179 entries. 11,642 comments received ... 6,396 posted (on my journal ... who knows how many on the countless other journals I peruse).

Matt - Are you and Karen up for brunch on Sunday?

Pamela - Where is the uber-cool Filene's?

New Yorkers in general - Where are the hot new clubs? I promised The Boy clubbing one evening.
Any shopping news / shops / deals ( Read more... )

I may be kidding myself, but considering I purchased a buttload of cards, I hope to actually send cards this year. I just need to find time to sit and write the holiday letter ... God knows this year has been chalk full of news. Anyway, I'm sure my address book is out of date for some and totally incomplete on others. So, following in the footsteps ( Read more... )
