Travel credit thank you.

I returned late last night from 5 days of overtime. Things are returning to normal at the mighty jet and we ran only a few minutes behind for the most part.
Mrs. McDoo and I worked together Christmas Day and Boxing Day,(we left the twins home with a box of Keith's, a log of bologna and a big knife to cut it with, so they wouldn't starve) and first heard the rumour of a $500 travel credit from an Air Supply guy. I thought, nawwww...must be like the imminent 777 purchase, or maybe $50 bucks or maybe the guy had heard the rumour 10th hand or something like that.
After xmas dinner at the Doubletree, we retired to our room.(yes, we cancelled one room in order to save the cost). Since Mrs. McDoo was with me, I had no need to visit my usual list of websites, and proceeded forthwith to check Westjet e-mail, ostensibly to disprove the $500 fantasy.
The only new mail on Christmas Day was from Durphy (don't ask me why we called Clive, Clive, and call Durphy , Durphy), telling us what a great job we were doing and could we keep doing what we're doing...etc,, but a little further on I read that it is indeed true, Durphy is handing out a Christmas goodie, every member of Westjet, is going to recieve a $500 travel credit, to be used in 2009.
We were tickled...then we tickled each other and congratulated ourselves sixty-nine times.
Good work everyone, expect next Christmas to go a lot smoother. Thanks to the executive team for continuing Clive's tradition of largesse with his fellow Westjet owners.
Happy New Year.

I thought it was hilarious, except for the bit about leaving the kids with the knife for the bologna log. A responsible, thoughtful parent would have cut the bologna for the kids and left them with the slices instead of leaving them with the big knife - that's just dangerous.

I reported this to child services.

Presumably, they would be Ok with the little fellas helpin' themselves to a 2-4 of Keith's.

At the very least they would be okay with the little tykes runnin' a keith's over to their old man as he sat in the over-stuffed arm.

Right on for the people involved, it is hell to deal with that crap. But WHY would EVERYONE (people on vacay, days off and accountants) get anything? How are you supposed to start the infighting when you treat everyone equally?

I know your question is sarcastic but who cares whether someone worked Dec 23 or Aug 3? We've all had our shitty days and its a nice thank-you to anyone for whatever they've done at whatever time of the year. If you happened to work during the chaos of Christmas, you know what you're being thanked for.

Thanks Johnny D.
Sorry for the curt note, I had just woken up from a long winter's nap. I'm back at Fawlty Tower's now, (the Travelodge) having visited the mall food court and someplace called Howie's liquor store. With apologies to you and my other Okanagan friend's, I'm sipping a Robert Mondavi Cabernet from a plastic cup.
I appreciate the editing, but I thought you might leave the part about the porn-stache. I laughed, but in a "what was I thinking sort of way" Eeewww I hope the 80's muff never comes back.
Well that's what we get for picking up sketchy women in sketchy parts of the world, sketchy hair-dos.
I see things much more clearly today.
Take care.

I'm busy praying for my lost soul. And might I add in these tough economic times caused by cheap interest rates and too much debt that Jesus saves.
