Home again... for a couple of days...

There's not really much to say about yesterday. I got home after midnight, and I'm thankful the LIRR runs a train out of Jamaica at 11:44 pm.

While there's not much that can be done about the weather, I'm loaded for any post-flight "how can we improve our service" survey that JetBlue may care to throw in my direction. While the flight was okay - as far as it went - it seems that the baggage handling end of the lashup still has a few kinks.

Yesterday, while standing and staring at the Arrivals display to see at which carousel the Houston bags were being disgorged, I noticed that none of the information being announced over the loudspeaker, e.g.,
Pass<...mumble...>ers arriving <...mumble...>Vegas on Flight One<...mumble... mumble...>Carousel 8
was being updated on the display. This meant that, in theory, the carousel with the bags from Houston had already been announced, as I had made a pit stop upon emerging from the security zone.

Indeed, I only got the hint that Houston bags had been processed when the information for my flight - still with no indication of carousel - disappeared from the display. Fortunately, I found my bag at the first carousel I came to. Even more fortunately, I had plenty of time to kill before the 11:44 pm left Jamaica.


Today was one of those frenetic days where I did quite a bit of physical labor and tried to help get this place in order before we leave Tuesday. I also managed to get all the meds I'll need for Baikonur.

I also just sent off a short assignment that I accepted on Friday.

Cheers...
