Updates

Oh, so much to post!

• The biggest news...I have 5 days left with American Airlines. I have accepted a position with Parsons, an engineering, costruction, and project management company headquartered in CA. No worries though...I will be staying in Ft Worth. I will be working on a project to improve the FAA environment - radars, nagivation systems, infrastructure improvements. It is a bittersweet transition since I have grown to love the people and work that I do at AA. On the other hand, I can say there are people and work that I will NOT miss. I wasn't looking for the job. It just fell into my lap and with the uncertainty of commercial airlines, Parsons will be a relief. My last working day at AA is Nov 21st and I don't start at Parsons until Dec 8th. My flights benefits will be good until Dec 1st. Any one want me to come visit?? I'm going to have 2 weeks free to go insane with nothing to do!!
• Since my days with AA are numbered, I am headed to NYC for the weekend with Holly. I intended to do the weekend trip for Holly's graduation in May, but my flight benefits only last a few more weeks. We're staying on Fifth Avenue in Midtown minutes away from the best of New York City. I'm thrilled to say we will be taking a Sex and the City tour through New York!! We'll see all the sites where the show and movie were filled as well as a few cosmos along the way! I'm absolutely in love with that city so I've been looking forward to this all week! And going with one of your best friends is the best way to enjoy it.
• My air conditioner went out in my car. Blah. It probably went out a while before I noticed, but the weather has been cool and I haven't needed the A/C. Well, a few warm days came through and hot flash momma noticed immediately. I had it checked out to day and $800 later, I find out my condenser was pierced by an object that must have hit under my car when driving. I had to have a new condenser, dryer, and fill up of freon. Ugh. $800. Really? Good thing Parsons is giving me a hefty raise and signing bonus.

So much more to post but I'm exhausted...
