Filled with Pride
So AJ and I have the world’s most wonderful PA / secretary / assistant / administrator / life manager. The smartest thing we did in ministry was hire Melissa. She basically runs the traveling (and other parts too!) section of our life, which if you can imagine for a second, is quite a massive undertaking. She organises all our trips, all the flights, the schedules, the hotel bookings, the itineraries, the product, the reminders, the website, the store, the emails - she is our go between to the world. We’d be beyond useless without her.
However, it is with great joy and swelling of pride in my heart that I announce today that Melissa made Air Canada Elite and Star Alliance Gold this morning. Way to go Melissa! I still remember the first day when I sat her down and explained the joys of bucket codes, upgrade lists and seat allocations. I remember the glazed eyeballs, the “are you seriously this obsessive compulsive” looks and the “can you go through that last part again please” but she has now joined the heady ranks of the world’s frequent fliers. Well done Melissa, may that precious little gold card bring you all the upgrades your heart desires. You’ve earned it.
Oh yeah, and she’s also getting married in a few weeks too, but you know, perspective people, perspective.
