Another Kind of Waiting

I posted the bit about waiting on Sprint customer service. Within a half-hour I had a comment from a woman who appears to be in the customer service business. I am sometimes surprised at how fast things can get around on the Internet!. Heather posted a short note about Ty receiving an AARP application in the mail. Quite funny and definitely worth a read!

Tonight I have to go back into the office at 10 p.m. for my boss’s all-hands quarterly meeting. It’s held at 10 p.m. Pocatello time to accomodate our employees in Manila. That puts the meeting mid-day in the Philippines, but early morning in Belgium and late night in Pocatello. So, I’m just doing some small stuff until time to drive back into the office for the meeting.

The travel schedules for my trip are pretty well completed. I’ll be staying at The Bellevue for the week that I’m there. The travel schedule is:
