Living in the future

Can be fun,

As I sit at a public, pay-by-cash-or credit-card e-terminal, I am amused.

Although I must admit, sitting in an airport in Orlando at this time of year is not amusing. Why people would travel to Florida in the summer if NOT dragged kicking a screaming for a business meeting, I am not sure I understand. Unless you are coming from somewhere even hotter and more humid.

I actually can't complain, except from the standpoint of my company's fiscal responsibility -- they flew 12 of us from all over the country to stay one night in an airport hotel (probably $200/night) for a 6 hour meting.

To help us meet finacial goals.

Irony, anyone?

I get that all the time. My boss had me fly out to Chicago for an overnight stay so we could be face to face during my 45 minute performance review. The meeting had to be rescheduled so many times that the ticket change fees ended up costing as much as the ticket.

I appreciate the sentiment of the firm handshake and look in the eye and all that, but we keep talking about the need to watch the bottom line. Ah vell - at least Chicago in spring isn't Florida in summer.
