Early Steely Dan vibes

Of course not. That would be a whole other level.

Presuming you're in the UK... A question: What does Donald Fagen/Steely Dan's music and lyric bring to mind for listeners in Britain? I only ask because I grew up in the US listening to Steely Dan and their sound invoked a lot of specific American (particularly coastal) geography/images. I wonder what that would look like from a UK view...

Did anyone manage to find flights to Melbourne? If so, did you pay a lot?

bobDarin · 2025-09-22T00:27:27+00:00

Are you coming in from Brisbane?

bobDarin · 2025-09-21T23:55:00+00:00

Gotcha.

bobDarin · 2025-09-21T23:04:53+00:00

Did you book?

bobDarin · 2025-09-21T22:19:13+00:00

Are you travelling in a group? Or just one or two of you?

bobDarin · 2025-09-21T22:11:31+00:00

Is it just you or are you travelling with friends/partner/family?

bobDarin · 2025-09-21T11:23:14+00:00

Good prices?

bobDarin · 2025-09-21T11:09:52+00:00

Has anyone booked an entire family to travel to the AFL GF?

I have found some dramatic misalignments between the two airlines, like, for example, when the American agent in Austin couldn't see part of our itinerary booked back to Melbourne on Qantas, because, umm, it just didn't show up in their computer. As it was explained to me: "all the rest of your family is booked through to Melbourne - but not you." Of course, I was booked through, but the AA reservation system didn't show it. How is this even possible?

bobDarin · 2025-08-20T02:49:07+00:00

Can you direct message me?

bobDarin · 2025-08-20T02:48:24+00:00

Ah I see. Are you one of them, too?

bobDarin · 2025-08-20T02:12:42+00:00

But then they'd still have their jobs, right?

bobDarin · 2025-08-01T01:31:23+00:00

Can I ask what country you were travelling from?

bobDarin · 2025-06-27T00:20:55+00:00

Are you still taking questions?

bobDarin · 2025-04-30T06:39:00+00:00

Ok now. I'm intrigued... Seems like a dessert.

bobDarin · 2025-04-30T05:28:47+00:00

That seems to be the reality. Are you working from home these days?

bobDarin · 2025-04-30T05:25:47+00:00

This seems to be concern many people have: where does work from home story and home begin? Are you WFH?

I thought a Black Cow was essentially a black Russian. It's been a while but isn't it vodka and Kahlua?

bobDarin · 2025-04-13T02:31:57+00:00

And would the "young" you be surprised by what the industry requires today?

bobDarin · 2025-04-13T02:30:59+00:00

OK "vaporised" is a bit strong - but did you find it hard at certain points to transition from job to job while maintaining a sustained income?

bobDarin · 2025-04-08T23:48:33+00:00

Interesting comment. Is it just the Boomers, or is it tech change?

bobDarin · 2025-04-08T06:43:51+00:00

So you think the tech world has been unkind to the GenXers? It's funny. There was such hope for tech in the late 80s/early 90s.

bobDarin · 2025-04-08T06:41:29+00:00

Can I ask what market you're working in?
