I've posted before about how I like the randomness of my job. After reading some of the posts and comments, it appears that lots of people appreciate randomness as well. It doesn't necessarily matter what the blog post is, if someone wants to ask about a future city they just ask. Or maybe they just want to let us know about a nice Flight Attendant. So, in celebration of all that is random, this is another random post. Anything you've got. I'll start.
Boise State and their two-point conversion??? Wow! Would have never put money on Florida. Can't believe March Madness is right around the corner (Go Badgers!). Love all of Malcom Gladwell's books and would love to have a beer with him. Best Mexican restaurant is Los Dos Molinos--specifically the salsas and the enchilada dinner. Why doesn't Southwest fly to Missoula, Montana? (That was for my parents and Bill) Woot.com starts may day off with a laugh and is my second favorite web site, after southwest.com. Need to find a place to take my once-a-year ski trip. Is it Friday yet?
Thanks. It was great to get that all off of my mind. Now, go away you kiniggets or I shall taunt you a second time.

Hi Jill,
Here's a bit of randomness for you. I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to leave such a comment, but hey, you asked for it!
I've been visiting southwest.com nearly every day in anticipation of an upcoming trip I have in May. For weeks now, your web site has indicated that you are currently accepting reservations through May 10. I have a suggestion.
Could you offer visitors the ability to sign up for an email notification alerting them of when their future travel dates are being booked? I know that I have to travel the weekend of May 19 and I am loyal to Southwest and want to ensure a good deal and a convenient flight time. It would be very cool if you offered this type of notification service. People could simply enter their email address and their future travel dates and boom! They get an email when those dates become "book-able".
Other than that - Southwest is hands down the best airline I have ever flown with. Keep up the good work!
This morning's DING! offer was sent out twice (same offers, headline, etc., but two separate notices in the DING! application). That's pretty random!
Yeah the boise state game was good. So was the rosebowl. USC 32 Michigan 18. The trojans dominated the wolverines on new years day. It looks like the men of troy will win their 10th national championship next year. Fight on.
The Boise State game was awesome. I was at the game and it had to be the hardest game to watch for a Boise fan, or Oklahoma fan. We have followed Boise for years so we were very happy at the end. My thought leaving the stadium and watching all those charter buses pull out was, "Oh I would love to be on the charter flight back to Boise tonight". So my questions to all those FA's out there How fun or difficult are charters to work?
When is the SWA IT Dpt going to finish revamping the SWA Website. Everyone on the blog made such a big deal about how the "New Website" looks when in fact, only the main page has been redone - not a complaint - just have been 'randomly' wondering why everyone was so excited about one page of a website being redone. I haven't seen that much excitement since Coke launch Cherry Coke!

On-line Per Diem Calculator for Pilots & Flight Attendants!!!
I apologize for posting this in this manner, but I wanted to get the word out to Southwest Employees...I have developed an on-line per diem calculator for pilots and flight attendants. This per-diem calculator can assist in determining the deductions for which you are eligible this tax season. You can seriously save yourselves hundreds of dollars by using the calculator. Check it out!!! Feedback has been very positive!!! Spread the word!!!

I'm with Carolyn. I am also waiting to book a flight for the end of May. I'd like to do it soon, as it is the last step in preparing the travel details of this trip, but every time I visit the site, bookings can only be made through May 10th. I definitely want to book with Southwest because it's the only airline that provides non-stop flights for this trip... but I can't guarantee my patience will last. If you can't do the e-mail thing, could we at least know when we can book beyond May 10th? That way I don't have to remember to check the site every day.
Thanks!
I'm thinking that I want to go visit Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park this Spring. Fly into LAS and drive over. I'm rooting for the Colts to win the Super Bowl. I'm disappointed I didn't win the "bring 10 friends or so to the Super Bowl" contest. I like oatmeal. When will Southwest start service in Harrisburg, PA? I brought some baked ziti for lunch today. And where is my hairbrush?
I like monkeys.
Don't particularly care for chatty people in the bathroom. I don't care if I know you, please don't talk to me while I'm doing my business. I don't want to talk to you while you're doing yours, either.
Why does peanut butter taste so much better when it's melted?
During my first trip to Canada, a homeless guy asked me for change. I reached into my pocket, gave him what I had, and we wished each other a nice day. Two steps later, I remembered that the Canadian one and two dollar denominations are coins. Probably gave that guy $17. Nuts...
Random enough?
