Me: Hello?

Him: Hello...you have my phone?

Me: (:rolleyes:) Yes.

Him: Where are you located?

Me: I park cars for the Ritz.

Him: So you found the phone?

Me: Well, I am talking to you on it.
Things like that happened to my cousin who had a degree in hotel management, worked behind the desk at the RC in San Francisco, but then compared his salary with the take that the doormen made and he himself then became a doorman at that place.

He did that very happily for more than 10 years and then just has disappeared from sight but he had told me some stories about the huge tips that he made when he found things and the owners turned up for them.

Hope you made out well on this one.

Especially in investment banking, I run across very senior bankers who are well into their 70s and even 80s. Most of these guys (and yes, in this age group they are all men) don't even touch their computers, they are attending the training because they were told the have to, and I get that. The junior bankers are the ones doing the grunt work.

IIRCC -- the shower is also larger!;):D Also the room is just bigger! Since I had been in a double room -- then got moved to a single (due to a problem w/the AC) -- I noticed the difference -- big time!:rolleyes:

Does she have a big estate? This is the year to 'pass on' if you do -- no upper limit on size of the estate -- so no estate tax due!^ Trustguy -- are you particularly busy w/estate planning stuff -- as said estate tax is likely to go up next year?!:eek::rolleyes:

Sorry for fiancee's loss!

Sorry to hear about your great aunt, mwg25.
