Yes, the WN effect makes complete sense!

Off to work...first time I'm really concerned about staying upright in this heat.

I hope you have access to lots of water! Stay safe.

Forgot I would also earn two SkyTeam USA Diamond Choice awards; this is going to be a lucrative trip.

Doesn't seem the airlines are "paying out" well the last few weeks. He did have a good run a while ago.

All of my "free" nights under the current Hyatt promotion are allocated to Park Hyatts (CHI, SYD, WAS). ^

For the Hyatt folks - G bonuses have been updated for 1 Jul and later. ^

Anyone used ezForex.com for foreign currency purchases?

This conference call is ridiculous. I'm not sure why I'm on it.

Is there ever a time when this sentence is not true?

Well done. The way my year will play out, I will have redeemed a total of 8 days at the HR Waikiki during 2010 from the various FFN promos (February, April, July and August stays). Given that the RC there provides food and complimentary evening cocktails, it is a good redemption place. ^

It's especially true right now.

It would help if this client would stop using the term "faculty load" to mean 25 different things. If they'd stick to using the correct terminology for the correct software functionality, they'd be a lot less confused.

This client also has someone in the academic affairs area that was retirement eligible a very, very long time ago. This software implementation would be a lot smoother if she'd go ahead and retire. She's a great person, but well past the point she should have left the institution.

I love being able to mute a conference call that needs no input from me while I do household chores, like loading the dishwasher.

Now they've realized I'm not needed and are releasing me from the call.
