Hi! I could use a spa about now!

[Darksheare]

Well, we have one now, just so long as the Chinese don't blow it up again.

[fanfan]

You were there?

Good for you!
Did you get to meet that fine soldier with the bull horn?

I watched the first part today, and I wanted to shake his hand.

Anyway, thank you for going, and for being a good person.
*Hugs*

Anyone up for shopping??

Looks like you made it home just in time, Sion!

I dunno about "just in time", but I am sure glad to be back home. And on the Internet. And on FR. And on the UT.

Got quite a backlog for the Traditional Anglican Ping List (heck, just to catch up for myself on what's been happening), but that can wait.

Not so sure about future travel: the company's cutting back on travel so they can put the money elsewhere and they wanted the department's projected travel plans and expenses. I was looking at almost a dozen known-in-advance trips this year but it could get cut to four or five, if I don't find a new job first and cut it all the way down to the one just completed.

After yesterday's trip home, which was just your average flying-in-steerage tedium, I'm ready to give up the bennies of international travel if I can give up all the rest at the same time.

Yes! We had two fine soldiers with us, including Josh. We were a small group, so we all hung out together. The moonbats were disgusting, as usual.

I haven't watched the video yet, my laptop is having trouble with the link. Maybe I'll try again.

[sionnsar]

Do I have a serious attitude problem or what? *\;-)

[Monkey Face]

I'm at a loss for words as to what to say about that dispicable humnanoid. It's probably good I wasn't there, as I would have been tempted to throw a rotten tomato at her.

You'll have to give us some of the gory details...;o]

[steve86]

Those are "Tap Dancers"!

You're walking on water with that one.

[Soaring Feather]

Sheesh, we just get here and they are after us!

[rottndog]

Whew!!!

Made it with the ping this time.

How much do we tip the movers?

[fanfan]

Perhaps telecommuting will solve the travel problem?

[Monkey Face]

In view of the last year, I'd say you have a right to have an attitude problem. Travel, weather, travel, illness, nasty bosses, travel, vehicle problems...you go right ahead and complain!

[sionnsar]

Did you have a good trip?

Trip was good, mostly, thank you. Achieved much*, wore myself out (but not as much as usual), saw old friends in the industry.

(*As my predecessor observed, just about the time you learn the ropes and start accomplishing things your term is up and you're out. I have a bit under a year and a half left.)

[fanfan]

It's really good,

It shows them for the moon bats they are!

[Tax-chick]

This one, right?

Shopping?

Sure!
Let's pick up one tonne of Mars rocks, and sell 'em on e bay.

[sionnsar]

Nice piece of gear. Can I put one in the front yard?

I suggest at least one in each corner of the property, plus a couple distributed east-west outside blast range from the spa.

[Poser]

Buh bye now.

[Tax-chick]

That's a beautiful shrubbery!

I guess James can't bring his penguin to this thread, since there's no troll. Un-fun for James!
