Bi-annual examination. Everyone sick or not available. They want someone on BOD of bank to welcome examiner(s).

Remarkably I do cell-phone only unless it's urgent, then I plug in alarm clock as a backup. Then again, I wake up just before the alarm the vast majority of the time.

I rarely get 6 hours of sleep.

Same here...it's funny how my body clock is normally about 15 minutes ahead of my alarm clocks on those days when I absolutely need to be up. Funny how the body works that way.

Used miles to get J(AA fake F) for 757 flight from LAX-MCO. My job next week is to be a facilitator for drinking with corporate intermediaries, as well as being eye candy for trade show booth. They dug really deep for me. :rolleyes:

6 hours is a minimum for me really. Tonight I'll go to bed after midnight and wake up at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning, going into the office at about 1015 a.m. :D

I was referring to sleep to be ready for OCC ;)

BTW - is an out-of-state director needed (just kidding).

I need at least 8-10hrs of sleep to be fully refreshed.

If I only sleep for 2 hours, I will feel really discombobulated. I think I'd rather tough it out, and then nap on the plane. If I slept for 2 hours now, I probably would be too awake to nap at 5:30am, and then I'd be miserable in the middle of the day because of fractured sleep.

Whichever way i do it, I'll be very tired tomorrow evening!

Most of ours are out of state. At one point, my company was the largest forecloser of properties in TN, BTW...

I'm still grounded until 5-Feb but I'm in "paid F" on UA that day.

Uncle icurhere2 is exceedingly popular with the nieces and nephews as well - he understands.

Auntie Flyer_70 is not so sure of her popularity.. she is assured of her cheapness though.

In all seriousness - I love the kiddos.. but man.. 6:00 in the AM is not easy on vacation! :D

That actually might make it worse, depending on where your family is located! I'm not so lucky. :D
