Some relatives staying at hotels in Beijing and Kuala Lumpur were notified in person
of the imminent late-night news conference by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, and
some heard over the phone.
Some received a heads-up by text message, said Sarah Bajc, who has been awaiting news of
the fate of her boyfriend, Philip Wood, ever since the plane disappeared March 8 on a
night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.
“Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt
that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived,” the text message
said, according to a version forwarded in an email by Bajc. “As you will hear in the
next hour from Malaysia’s Prime Minister, we must now accept all evidence suggests

apparently some people do understand how to HOLD the reservation... Jerry: I don't understand. Do you have my reservation?
Rental Car Agent: We have your reservation, we just ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That's why you have the reservation.
Rental Car Agent: I think I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don't think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.
Well ya gotta have your prioities ya know.
Reminds Me of when you give somebody an Estimate and when the Invoice is higher they complain, the you tell them it was an Estimate NOT a Quote
yup, that's why when i was doing computer work (for a Fortune 500 Company that will go unnamed) i'd take the time i THOUGHT it would take, double it, then raise it to the next highest time increment...so a job that i thought would take an hour would be quoted as two days since i never knew what i'd run into or how may other rush jobs i'd be rushed into doing while doing the rush job i was rushed into quoting on
come in under time and you are a hero, on time, well you did your job, longer than that, feh, it made no difference they ordered you to do two other rush jobs in the meantime
more by a couple orders of magnitude...
100%
That outta cover it. Ya getting snowed on ?
not YET... they now say wed, but with a little luck it will miss us, luck being the operative word
