  • I'm useless

    ... because I get excited about frequent flier miles I gather in my job. Next year, I'll get my upgrade and then I have free access to most lounges that are in my alliance, meaning most airports (domestic and international) I visit. Meaning I get free domino cookies if I run like hell between connecting flights (to the lounge) AND I get all the pepsi I want. And some cold dishes.

    I'm a sad individual.

    But hey, I get to check in extra 15 kilos.. on top of that 25 kilos already allowed. Then again I never have even 25 kilos. But! ... then again I get to check in at business class desk. Then again I never really have to wait in line anyway with my weird hours that I fly. Doh! Then again I can use my points to upgrade to business class every now and then... then again why bother. Then again I get nice offers, cheap flights all over the world and then again I never have the time to use them and if I did, I don't have enough points to take my gf with me anyway. So I'd rather just use all the points yearly to sit in a bigger chair for few hours, and have more pleasant lunch. Man, I need a bigger upgrade. But you need those points, oto much man, no one flies THAT much and if they do, they prolly have their own airplane already. Because then I'd probably get free booze where ever I go. I could be boozed up all the time. Then again, I don't really drink. Doh!

    I'm a sad individual. Today, I played black jack at the casino. I can do card counting and basic strategy easily, I find it easy when you equal the cards, that's an easy way to stay in line with the true count anyway. For me it is. Then again I play like... once a year. For an hour. So... a 100 hands a year, yeah, standard deviation alone will just rule me a loser. Then again I don't lose much. So today I played a little, just for fun, and for the first time I was able to do a little bit of shuffle tracking. Yeah, got the pretty picture at bottom and cut the deck, precisely 53 cards. Yeah. But I had crappy hands, so I aimed the ten for the dealer and yeah, the dealer pretty much busted just like I knew if it was exactly 53 cards. Again, that's not true. I aimed at my second money hand, so I actually screwed it up totally, but was lucky when it went to the dealer and he busted. Oh well. Made few hundred euros since I have to play minimum. Bought a new deodorant. And some pepsi. Plus a surprise trip to my gf's city in two weeks. Yay.

    I am a sad individual. I nibble with cents, when's my time coach, when's my time! Crippled kid wants to play!

    I bought a new suitcase, realizing I won't be needing it for a long time. Why? I'm tight with the money, have been for a looong time. Should have bought some more pepsi instead. Or renew my gym membership. I'm a sad individual. I totally scored big Friday, saved the day for my boss who didn't even realize he was totally ****ing up the negotiation. I turned to boat around. Took me almost 90 minutes, since my boss didn't even bother to takes his coat off, which actually did visibly bother the other party. I reaaally had to smile, be polite, interested and make some really big points, looking for win-win and feel good. I'm such a whore. And my boss never even realized it. So I totally think it is acceptalbe that instead of coming for work today, instead I spent an extra day with my gf, and played some blackjack, and lied that my flight was overbooked and I got the boot for a later flight. Yeah, as if that happens with domestic flights... I'm such a whore.

    Just like now? I should be sleeping, so I'll be all happy and smiley in the morning, but I'll prolly go there few hours later than usual, play some internet poker, do my work in 2 hours and claim it was the most productive day in the last 30 days. The continue doing that until I have to figure out how to get some money to buy few christmas presents, which is cool because you get sex and don't have to spend it alone, but then again it costs some money. I could, of course, play more blackjack, but with my minimum bet, it takes like 10k hands anyway to go anywhere, and even then I've probably made few critical mistakes and actually lost the advantage and the money. I could enter a poker tournament. But meh. I mean, I'd have to take a flight for it, then again, I could "make an appointment with a client", so then I'd get my frequent jackass points, one inch closer to free domino cookies, check out early with the client so I could then enter a tourney, drink lots of pepsi and sink myself just before the paying starts and thus just wasted like 12 hours of my life doing nothing. Then again... I'd be closer to free domino cookies by then.

        Do you do the same as I, that you look at them in your profile and think of the thigns you could do with them, but then you realize that it takes only so many points more and you could upgrade the same thing into a better trip or whatever? Meaning not actually using the points. Then the virtual points become precious, so you just want them in your account, so you don't use them? And you feel like it's more than money when you have to use them? NOooo NOoooo!!! My precious virtual points! NOOOOooo! I'd rather not ever use them! But then they'll take those points away every year or two years or so, so then it's a problem and you have to go on a trip somewhere, like Belarus, and spend a weekend there, in cold and rainy weather, and the only thing you can hope for is a good and free wlan access at the hotel, the room you will never leave.

            If the plane starts to go down, remember to scream out for more Pepsi.
