Yez. Recall the crappy reality TV concept show Airline, which seemingly consisted entirely of filming Southwest desk clerks with forced smiles, enduring screaming fits from raging assholes who want to know why they can't fix the snowstorm that just closed the airport.

Good news is it would be $20-30,000 more than I am making now. Bad news is it's another law firm. I'm sick of the law firm gig and my dream job has me going in-house so I can call the law firm on Friday afternoon and tell them to work all weekend.

So, if I get an offer, do I take the money and run or hold out for possible interviews for the in-house position?
Depends. Can you afford to buy a decent place or maintain your current mortgage at the in-house gig? If so, grab it. Boston is cheapish right?

Not sure, but if you change your mind after Bob shows you the goat, you double your chances of making the right decision. Or something like that.

But seriously, take money, run, continue to troll for in-house position. What's to decide? Between making $30,000 more or . . . not? That's not even a close call.

ETA: I assume you have no compunction about fucking your new employers when you get the in-house position, but I just realized not everyone is as morally bankrupt as me.

Detroit's airport is closed because of snowstorms a lot, isn't it?

As sucky as all airlines are, USAir still provides free booze on the shuttle. That makes major amends. Or at least makes the post-beverage-cart part of the flight tolerable.

$30,000 really isn't that much after taxes and stuff. I guess I could start buying a higher quality of monkey porn, but that's about it.

Airline employees are among the rudest people on Earth. It might be because they constantly have to deal with stressed out, rude fats, but they all need to be beaten and then made to stand on one of their own damn lines. They are only one step above cabbies (who should be rounded up and slapped, then shot).

I am pretty sure that you borrowed the phrase "fuck-all" from someone else on the board, but I can't recall who.

They just raised the rates here citywide. All that means is that I'll tip less. Fuck them. Fuck all of them.

There have been times I've prayed for even a single air-freshener. I've ridden with the windows open in February on the FDR doing 60 mph just to try to blow the stank out. You know the kind of B.O. that actually sticks to your clothes?

That used to happen to me when they raised the price of the newspapers. You cheapo.

In DC they added a $1 fuel surcharge to every trip. That won't affect my tipping, what does affect my tipping is when the bastard tries to game the zone system and claim we crossed a zone a block before my destination. Fuck. you.

And what is with the fucking air fresheners? It does NOT cover up your body stink! (And Coltrane, while I'm on the subject, neither does your AXE.)
