    Thanks. They are dicking around with my ticket and I'll end up on a crap flight. Worst part about traveling is the food

    I had the opposite problem. After a big merger, I started ending up travelling to meet with the guys from the other company, who were East-coasters used to lots of wining and dining at fancy restaurants. Tons of great food and wine, but it really does get old after a while. There were nights I just wanted to have a burger and go home, and not spend 4-5 hours every night eating steak and drinking wine with a ton of guys from work. Doesn't sound like something I should complain about too loudly though, huh?

    Awesome ccw pistol, I really enjoyed carrying mine, but I could never get used to the thin grip. I'm a Glock guy so naturally I'm accustomed to the chunky grip. Back to Glock I went.

    I know how you feel. It's easy to eat fancy on the company dime, but after a while it gets old.

    I need another pistol like I need a hole in the head, but one of my sources is danging a discount in front of me and I really like the feel of my m&p full size...

    I certainly wouldn't turn down a good discount. Just keep in mind, that grip is a lot thinner than your full size. I don't think it bothers most, but it did me.

    The same crew who drop major $$$$ eating out, scrutinize an extra $5 spent on good supplies.. They'd rather spend 2+ hours at dinner bs'ing then go out side enjoying the view or weather.
