Because I have coworkers from the Hotel in Korea on vacation, and they are coming home this weekend.
I'm hoping, like Sheryl Sandberg, they missed this flight.
More to come...

It ain't Bob and Bing on the Road to Utopia, but..
All of these things happened to me on the road recently with the boss.
1. I was accused of drinking the last of the caffeinated coffee in the conference room. I drank decaf instead, and waited for the new stuff to arrive. "No, " I replied. "It ran out before I got there."
2. Boss almost choked. Thank goodness I didn't have to do the Heimlich on him/her.
3. Boss kept borrowing so many office supplies that my return flight seat mate said, "What are you going to have to do next? Make coffee?"
But it wasn't all terrible.
1. Boss held my spot in line to get on the plane as I desperately ran to Starbucks for a coffee and he/she declined one. (I was nice and offered, as I always do.)
2. Boss stood in the rain to get a cab.
3. Boss and I sat near each other in the conference and I didn't hide his/her pens once (although he/she "borrowed" my only notepad to take calls from people at the Hotel.) Yes, while the meeting was in progress. Boss also wrote remote orders on his/her laptop.
4. Boss complimented me on my knowledge in front of our work group, who had come from around the nation.
It is always interesting to watch
1. Specialists squirm when they don't understand something.
2. People getting in those inside comments, "We finally went out and got Nurse X a Queen's Square hammer for the clinic after that study." Thanks to Grumpy, I actually KNEW that one. (still have to find out what Boss's favorite is though...I'm guessing a Troemner)
Nevertheless, I survived. Boss, I'll miss you when you're gone the next time.
Just remember...I have pictures of you sleeping with your mouth wide open on the plane, proving, yet again, that you're still human like the rest of us.
Stay tuned...could be on the road again before you know it.

I'm just wondering...
If the big boss is getting nervous about a project I have to do with him in three weeks. He/she acts as if I should take a different flight.
Hello, this is not the Royal Family. The world will go on if something happens to either one of us. The Hotel, despite all its construction, reconstruction and clogged toilets will go on.
My departing direct manager has two weeks before he/she leaves for the assigned new position. Will he/she get me the award I've been waiting for since last year for my special project when others on that team have already gotten theirs? I don't know, but I know one thing...he/she may get a rude awakening in the new job, if I don't get the time and consideration before he/she leaves.
Just sayin'...
