Stop me if you've heard this before.

I travelled back home today. The Virgin Atlantic flight was sublime again. I'm a total fan now. My bag arrived in Vegas and I re-checked them and heeeeeyyyyyy - Delta lost it again. They lost it on the way out and again on the way back. In fact, apart from this march when we flew to the UK, it's been three years and five months now since I flew with my bags. Or more specifically since my bags flew anywhere on the same actual plane as me.
You know if anyone with terrorist tendencies wanted to cause a fuss, all they need to do is put a fucking big barymetric bomb in their suitcase, book a flight on Delta and go to the airport as normal, because I can 100% guarantee they would not be on the same plane as their bomb.
Delta are fucking abominable. They've got old, clapped-out aircraft. They've reduced their seat pitch by an inch. They're always late. Their planes are always on tech. And they simply don't fly your luggage on the same flight as you. At least, that's my experience in the last 3 years and 5 months - 10 return flights (ie. 20 times).
How that airline continues to function and make money is beyond me. I'm really surprised they're "coming out of bankrupty" because it's certainly nothing to do with their service that's helping them.

I don't know that BA is any better. On my flight to Frankfurt to London they have lost one of my bags! Oh well. Hopefully I can get home sometime this year...

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
