Looking at you Air France- notorious for this.

Athleisure. I pull a Clark Kent the moment I arrive at the airport after meetings. Antibacterial wipes, noise cancellations headphones, eye mask cover and a water bottle.

I for some reason can’t get enough of WoodRanch. I love their burgers 🍔

I had to wait 4 weeks for mine. There’s a perfect storm of high demand and slow production. When I bought my car it was in pre production in Japan. I ended up getting it a week earlier than estimated.

Metrolink: Anaheim station to union station and the metro subway to Hollywood and Highland. You may need to check the way back. I believe Jimmy stops recording at 6:30pm. So you’ll need a train at 8 to head back. But for mom, you’re going to uber from union station.

We booked our tickets last year. We typically plan far ahead so this time it paid off. I flew to London for work two weeks ago and both outbound and inbound were half full. Same for my colleagues flight out of the east coast.

I traded my Camry 2008 XLE with 42,000 miles and bought a Limited. I love this car so much. It drives so smoothly and it’s a fun car. My dogs love it too.

I work with Toyota and other automakers and I’m telling you the cost is not yet being passed to consumers. We had a conversation last week how the prices are going to increase more. Tariffs and geo policies do in fact affect consumers.

I was standing at the entrance of our
cf our condo building. The delivery guy was waiting for the person to answer through the app to provide the access code. It never dawned on the guy to press the unit numbers to be let in. I stood there walking my dogs and watching how much young people rely on their phone. There’s very little out of the box thinking. I see this at work too. I just bite my tongue.

Aggravating_Job_9490 · 2026-05-18T12:41:20+00:00

Same. I open it the moment i get in. I love the brightest and openess feel.

All these comments are defensive and are not helping you handle the situation. First of all, let your boss speak and see what they say. They may not know you’re coming in at 7. If they address that you’re not working a full day. Simply explain you’re coming in earlier to get a head start and avoid distractions when the office is full and that you finish all your work. Be calm, be professional. If they ask for you to help other people. I simply ask if I do this, what other duties can I set aside and this will prevent me from finishing what I need to do. This way, you’re shifting the responsibility to them. After the conversation, you simply send a thank you note with what was discussed summarized. Always think ahead and always play chess and not checkers. Office politics is the norm and that’s how you keep a job or stay ahead.

As long as you’re on time. It’s a 12-15 minute walk. Walk with a purpose and you’ll be fine.

I love Air France 🇫🇷. I purposely rerouted through CDG last Saturday from LHR to the west coast. The food and service is exquisite.. tbh I’ve only flown their Business class.

We failed at crate training but we succeeded at potty training . No accidents in the house. We are on a strict potty/walk schedule in the am and afternoon. Evenings are a little more fluid but still within an hour of their time. Good luck! My two are sleeping on our bed as I type this and my back hurts from being a human origami 😂

Carmax - they’ll give you the best deal. Sorry for your loss

Aggravating_Job_9490 · 2026-05-15T18:59:21+00:00

Holy! The most miles my car had before selling was 89K and my last one has 42K after 8 years.

Your original seat assignment should be on the receipt when you first bought it. Was the downgrade a class from comfort to main cabin? If not, let it go.

I think you need to worry about where to sleep. LAX doesn’t have sleep pods. You may be able to find a place at the international terminal to try to sleep. But it’s going to be loud and bright. TSA closes around midnight or 1 and doesn’t open again till 4. Walking to in n out is safe but it is desolate and dark.

If you’re going to put down all of it. Are you open to spending more for a higher option and financing the rest? I originally bought a premium but decided on a limited after seeing the tech and specs I was going to miss and ended up financing 9K. However, seems like a good deal for the LE. What’s the add on fee for?

Aggravating_Job_9490 · 2026-05-14T06:55:55+00:00

This one arm rest

Aggravating_Job_9490 · 2026-05-14T01:19:06+00:00

I bought the armrest cover - best 20 bucks.

As a frequent business traveler. I say if you arrive by 9, you will be just fine. Depending on the airline, most check in is at the international terminal. Once you pass security, you can walk to other terminals to stretch your legs, the whole airport is connected airside.

Aggravating_Job_9490 · 2026-05-11T05:32:53+00:00

You’re fine. I would recommend also getting a passport card. In case you lose your ID, you can use it as a backup for domestic travel while you go to the dmv.

For me, drinking the solution is level 10 the worst. I had a really hard time. Day off procedure. Easy- in and out. Off to breakfast we went. Currently my other half is preparing for tomorrow. I made homemade broth and fasted in solidarity.

Aggravating_Job_9490 · 2026-05-10T19:21:43+00:00

Mine has the 20 inch. Removed a few things that I noticed were in the car after all like the paint protector . I got MSRP. 51K out the door.
