500mile アップグレード

オンラインで昨日申し込んでいたアップグレードが、承認されたぁぁぁ

ということで、ぐっすり寝て飛びます。

遅延ですかい、機体変更ですかい、満席ですかい

おぉぉぉぉぉ、初めてのLAXで遅延でに巡り会った。
そして、B757だったのがB767-200になっていた!

座席が3-3から2-3-2になったのに座席が少ないじゃないか!!
あ、遅延と言えば　ハワイの延泊があるから、初めてではないかな?

結果として、17名ほど翌日便になったようで、一人250ドルもらえたようだ
結構、喜んでいた・・・。そんなもんなのか!?


で、帰国の飛行機(LAX-NRT)をチェック












満席ですよ。ここまで満席なのは、初めてですよ

で、ビジネスは!?









お、あいているねぇぇ　きっとアップグレードしてくれるかも　と甘いことを考える。

24時間前にビジネスにアップグレードしていたら もしかして・・・・













と、燃料高騰で苦しい航空会社に期待してみたいもんだ・・・・。


今回の旅行で次のステータスまであと僅か
どこへ修行に行こうかな・・・・・。

それにしても今回の旅で、ワンワールドボーナスマイルで12,000マイルも
貯まるから、とてもいいペースで世界一周も近くなった

A sweltering midsummer day. Inside a university campus building housing the "Sci-Fri Research Club", five male university students and two female students from the school's photography club, sit languishing in the heat. The remote control unit for the air conditioner broke down the previous day turning the clubhouse into a greenhouse. As tempers begin to flare, the group suddenly notices that an odd-looking device has strangely materialized in the corner of the room. A time machine? Thinking it to be some kid of prank, they board it with the intention of returning to "yesterday" to bring back the air-conditioner remote before it broke down. But thats when the trouble begins as they unwittingly entangle themselves in a cause-and-effect web of their own creation.

danshakuじゃないの

ときどき、そういわれる。ヘボン式だとそうなる。
俺は、99式がいいと思う。

と、いっても入力は、絶対「かな入力」
死んでも　ローマ字入力を主流にはしないぞ・・・・。

オフィスで「かな入力」するのは、確かに俺だけ
天然記念物級ともいわれた

キーボードのタイプ回数が少なく、仕事していないとも
いわれる。

いいじゃん。少なくて悪かったのー

ただ、英文を打つ時が増えているので

かな文字から英文字への一括変換をする際に、文節ごとで
確定されてしまうIMEは、ごみ同然。

いいよ、単漢字変換で。
辞書なんかも1Mのフロッピーに入っていたころが懐かしい

一番重宝するのは　日本語から英語に変換する機能だな。
ほんと、これには助かっているが・・・

納税は、国民の義務

子供のころ習った、というか憲法にあるらしい義務のひとつ、納税。

もう、毎月、毎月納税納税。
昨日届いた市民税、都民税の振込用紙。
涙出る

勤労という義務があったはずだが、勤労の義務が終わったら
納税の義務も終わってほしい気分だ

でも実際に、義務だから死ぬまでか? 定年がなくなりつつある時代だと

総合課税、所得税、固定資産税、自動車税、予定納税・・・・・・・・。


ほんとこのままでは、納税するひとは税率の低い国に移住し続けて
しまうのも納得できる。

好きだけれどね。日本は、ほんとうに沈没するのかもしれない。
