Do they count the veranda?

Pj



oh maybe that is it - I didn't realize that. with real estate, the balcony is never counted in total sq. footage of apt.

so the room is exactly the same? - I just can't imagine where they could save 50 sq. ft.

thanks.
 
I am going to whine to you guys some more. Earlier this evening I had a really bad coughing fit and I felt some pretty bad pain in my left side by one of my ribs. I think I coughed hard enough to actually fracture my ribs. :scared1: It HURTS just to breathe but especially when I cough and when I move certain ways. :sad:

Becka, please say that you are going to the doctor tomorrow. A gentle :grouphug: to you.
 
The Aide made the decision for the Rep not to sign the pledge, how pathetic!
Get a backbone! OK, I know wrong tree to be barking at...

how could all the early dining be gone on the first day of booking? is this cruise going to be really popular?

we got a quote of $2500. in a Cat. 8 for the 4 of us on Deck 7.

Becka - you would recommend against Deck 5 because of the noise? we loved Deck 5 for the convenience.

As far as I can tell no one has been able to get early dining on this cruise so I'm assuming there may be a glitch in the system. Tomorrow or in a few days when all the chaos dies down I'm going to call DCL and ask about it. Worst case I'll get on the waiting list.
 
Can someone explain the difference in the size of the stateroom between Cat. 8 and Cat. 6. What is left out that makes the room 50 sq. ft. smaller?


Just the verandah I believe. The inside of the room is the same size but they count the verandah as part of the sq. footage. :rolleyes1

We're in!! Just got back from lunch and finally got a ring tone on the Castaway Club #. Booked into room 7104, a cat 5, for the 12/6/08 Eastern sailing. After discount, it was $4328 which is less than we were quoted for the Jan08 dummy date :) plus $200 OBC.

Should I transfer it to Dreams for the additional OBC?? I kinda liked being in control of the ressie this last time. Would I still be able to pull it up online and view it if it's transferred to a Travel Agent?

Yes, you can still see it online, you can book online for Palo, spa, etc. I would for sure get the additional OBC. But then I'm a mizer. ;)

I got an email from my Congressman's aide, who told me he advised him not to sign my stupid, innocuous pledge. I sent back a very terse email.

V - about your job... if you think you will be able to continue working with your employer without any "hard feelings", then I think it is worth serious consideration to stay.

We just had someone leave our company (a total shock to me) and it wound up that she was counteroffered and such, but decided to leave anyway... I wish she hadn't because it seemed like she had alot to give the company and from my perspective, the company doesn't give out those counteroffers lightly. I was not involved in it at all so I don't know these to be the true facts, but I'm impressed if they did counter offer you because I've never been counteroffered at any job that I left.

I also think it's a great intangible value to have the trust of your employer to leave whenever you need to take care of your kids without them thinking you're a flaky employee. That's one of the hardest things to establish at a new job.

I'm probably not making your decision any easier....
 
I am worn out.

I am stressed into actually making a decision re my job tonight. My company came back and offered me a promotion and more money. While flattering I hate that it took the wake up call to get it. I know I should skip out of here while doing cartwheels...there are so many factors to consider...

increase in childcare
increase in Health Ins
less PTO as now that I have been here 5 years my pto goes up to 30 days per yr
change...well, that aspect is not all the troublesome except that I don't know how "forgiving" (for lack of a better word) this co is, I mean, if Samantha has a program at school or they are sick I can come and go as I please...well, I can pretty much any of the time.
Also, distance - this is quite a bit further away and will add on travel time to and from and requires me really going out of my way to get to the girls school.

I just don't know what to do. I asked my boss a time line and the next step to becoming a senior acct and of course, he could not give me a time line, but said we would sit down and work on a course together. I would also not be taking on additional work at this point. And we are a govt entity so I knew there was NO way they could match the $ amount but they came a lot closer than I thought they would which is what is rendering me in the tizzy.
I feel like a sell out if I stay.

I told my mom and I could hear the distinct disapointment in her voice. Long run she feels I am giving up a lot more which may be true. But she drives an hour to work each way and does not mind.

sorry, feels better to get it all out though. I need to get out of here..and who knows how much DIS time I would have at the "new" place?

That does seem like a tough decision V. Make a list of the pros for leaving and have a long sit down with John. Don't let others make you feel bad with whatever you decide. Maybe put a number next to each pro and con to help weigh it. Find out more about the other company in terms of your concerns of the girls. Factor in extra gas and time commuting. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of going OR staying. You know now that there are other jobs out there for you if need be! Only you and John know what is best for your family. Good luck!:grouphug:

Get that checked out girl! :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:
 
We have a payroll today and my coworker is on a cruise still so I have to go in to work. I am going to call my doctor and see if she wants me to come in and get checked out. My understanding is that there is not much they can do but maybe get me some stronger pain meds.

Kim - the cold air might work but the cold air is what makes my cough worse because of the pneumonia so I don't think it will work in this case although we sure do have plenty of cold air right now.
 
Becka, I hope you can get that checked. Even if all they can do is tell you to take some extra pain relievers.
 
I have an appointment for 4 this afternoon. This really hurts and maybe I am just being a baby about the pain but Ouch! :sad2: I figure they won't be able to do anything about it which is bad because I hate to think of how long I am going to be in pain from this. Coughing hurts so bad now and I am living in fear of the next time I have to sneeze....I can't even imagine. :(
 
feel better soon Becka!

thanks for all your thoughts...I have decided to stay and accept the promotion. My boss did have to go a bit above and beyond and I am thankful for that....the other company has contacted me further and is questioning what my deciding factors are....I still feel guilty. They were extremely nice.

I told you it was wierd! But I get pneumonia a lot because of my stupid Asthma and that's what my dr always tells me to do. Maybe its for the asthma reaction.... hmmm
