This work stuff is hard work

I can't remember the last time I've been this busy at work. I logged in here today to find that my last post was April 9th, over a month ago. It feels like I wrote that yesterday. I've been working in L.A. for a few months now, and I have returned to operating like a professional traveler. I know that the E concourse in the Atlanta airport has the best restaurant, and I know that the A concourse in Memphis has the best Delta lounge. Room 431 at the Renaissance hotel is below the concierge lounge, so you don't want it, and room numbers that end in 25 are smaller due to the location of the laundry chute. Delta is flying the 777 on its ATL - LAX routes for at least the next 4 months, and if I book my flights with 7 days advance notice, I can generally get an "M" fare class which 1) earns me double MQMs and 2) almost guarantees me an upgrade to first class. And don't tell Hertz that you want satellite radio if you booked a "full-size" car at LA...
