Flying doggies!
You know, modern air travel can be no fun for humans, but it's always worse for pets.
But that's about to change!
Introducing the world's first airlines for pets only, Pet Airways! Or PAWS for short.
Yes, this is for real.
As far as I know...
Of course, me being me, the first thing I wondered about was what kind of planes they used. :D
Beech 1900 twin-engined turboprop puddle-jumpers. Noisy but reliable.
And the pets don't get to seat on the seats. They're in pet carriers arrayed in a rack.
At least, they're in the pressurized cabin, so yea for that.
I wish Pet Airways good luck and brisk business.
I know some people who would use their services.

Insane Week Recap Part 1
Soooooo...
I had an exciting and crazy-making week! How about a nice little recap?
Please to fasten seatbelts and return to full upright position!
Monday: Went to Vivendi Games for job interview test. Aced it and got "you're hired" phone call!
Happily posted about it here! Got many congratulatory messages! Yeaaaaa!!
Sent e-mail to Genex, the company I applied with 2 weeks ago, to get status update. Didn't get answer.
(It pays more than Vivendi and it's closer. All eggs = not in one basket.)
Tuesday: Went to Vivendi Games to fill out paperwork and get orientatetatetated.
2 hours after coming home, got phone call that project was on hold and I was on hold too.
Was supposed to start Wednesday. Well, not anymore! Ha ha ha, sucker!
Was told I wouldn't be on hold more than a week or two. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Kept looking for work.
Wednesday: Furiously e-mailed with recruiter about testing job in Century City.
Did some other stuff that I can't remember but was probably exciting at the time.
Kept looking for work.
( Lots of stuff on Thursday, plus photos, so it's behind a cut! )
This got pretty long, so I'm going to end it here and pick up with Friday on the next post.
