Victory is mine!
I have triumphed over the evil forces that have frustrated my attempts to have my luggage repaired/replaced after being lost and damaged on my flight back to NC - I finally talked to a live person today at Raleigh/Durham who is sending a replacement bag for me to pick up at PTI (G-boro airport) - now I just have to drive to PTI and swap my bag for theirs - so maybe by this weekend this whole thing will just be an ugly memory… persistance pays off, the squeeky wheel gets the grease, etc…
In other news, I think we’re carving pumpkins at YAF this week, so that should be fun - and I don’t think I’m going to go to homecoming - it’s just too much traveling and with the beach trip the following weekend, too much time away from here - maybe I’ll just pop down to Charlotte for a while to see my parents and brother…
Our commissioning ceremony for Family Services Volunteering is tonight - sounds a bit cheesy but it should be a good way to wrap things up now that training is officially over!
Off to make some serious scientific discoveries before the day is up (not really, but a positive attitude is helpful!)…

Congratulations on winning your struggle with “the Man” of the airline system. Don’t let him hold you down! Now go discover something Nobel worthy today.

thanks! I feel so vindicated! I picked up the new luggage today and it’s even nicer than my old stuff (it would have only had to not smell like dead fish to be nicer really!) - so now I feel like taking another trip to use it!
