No...Vuelos is recapping the words I was saying sometime around lunchtime yesterday. Vuelos doesn't get to spend much time in meetings somehow.

Why does he get out of so many meetings? Hey, I'll be generous. I'll give him some of mine! ha ha.

The joys of working for a smaller company.

It's somewhat surprising that you're willing to sell yourself so cheaply, with all the fabulousness, looks and personality (you claim). Do you enjoy being in the middle of the Oracle convention, among all the people just like you, and therefore offer a special price?

I don't think Paris Hilton would be willing to ever do even a Vegas bar/nightclub appearance for 78 cents (although I don't understand why anyone would pay more or wait in line to be at an event with her).

Are you suggesting that this applies to FT as well as to Deltamatic?

I believe if Vuelos spent less time traveling he would be able to attend more meetings.

I did graduate 8th grade, but under protest.
Just think what you could have made of yourself if you stuck it out long enough to take some Italian classes. You might have gone to Italy, become a sculptor & .... Oh, never mind.

:Looks around The Lounge:

I guess the plumbers were in last night. But I don't see any dust. Are we sure any maintenance happened?

Anyway, Italy98, I think you're right. I think we should allow more meeting to take place in flight. Just put the lounge back in the 747s, and think how many bored meetings could take place!

I missed the Oracle convention, just happened to be there Sat night & it started Sunday.

Mersk862 much more resembles an Oracle user... I just have to help get programmers hired.

As for cheaply, the Hyatt had me at free bottle of wine & a suite (plus a few thousand points)

These days I think Paris would do a free Vegas event.... it's the only way she'll be allowed in!

That does sound like a great idea.

With food cooked to order by a mom and pop Italian trattoria, French bistro or something similar. A barrel of Woodford, cases of private, unlabeled wine . . .
