    Im not complaining that they sent me and I have no problem paying my dues. thats not the problem, They said I would start working again tomorrow, so its pay 50 bucks to drive or 50 bucks for a room so i stayed, now I dont work till friday. So Im spending money instead of making it. Its all the Customers BS too.

    As for mileage they dont pay that, we get Perdiem, but Im not working so No perdiem. its all out of pocket at this point. Thats the problem.

    I feel for ya.

    I worked a project that lasted a few years where I'd be sitting at my desk and get a call.

    Project Wonk - "Fly to Oakland."
    Me - "OK. When?"
    PW - "Now."
    Me - "Where do I go? Who do I see? What's the projected timeline? Which executive has delegated their authority to me?"
    PW - "Nothing is finalized. Just go and call me when you get there."

    And I'd grab my go-bag, leave my car at the office, jump on a bus to the airport, and fly out. Sometimes there'd be someone on the other end. Sometimes they wouldn't have gotten the word and I'd just have to walk in and tell a bunch of completely unprepared strangers that I was going to turn their division upside down for a few days.

    If I was lucky, I'd get to go home before I got a call to fly to Indy, or Cincy, or somewhere in the middle of nowhere in New Jersey. I really think I got assigned to the project because I said during the interview "I have no social life. Send me anywhere, anytime."

    So, AKMike, just who is it in your organization who thinks you have no life, how did they get that idea, and are you going to try to disabuse them of that notion?

    I only ask because I've lived that life and I know that it eventually wears you down. Like they say during the pre-flight safety briefings, you've got to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else.

    I've been through Oakland Intl., what a shitty little airport.

    OK, I'm gonna be perverse here but only because it's the truth. I actually liked Oakland. There were several things I liked about it but here's the big one: Try walking far enough into Chinatown that no one speaks English, then pick some hole-in-the-wall eatery, order random stuff by pointing, and put those chopsticks to work. You'll want to go back again and again.

    I'll go even further. I've been all over California. LA didn't impress me but the statewide landscape is pretty and varied, the weather is nice, and the people are only a little crazier than they are elsewhere. If it weren't for a state government that went wrong, it would be a great place. And it still took that government almost 50 years to completely screw up the place.

    Nowadays I don't insult or belittle California. I don't dislike it. I just mourn the loss of potential and doubt I'll ever visit again.
