... to post anything new - for those who are STILL waiting for updates on my 2003 European Trip has to wait a bit longer - trying to get my web-enthusiasm back so new pix will be available... as well as my recent trip back home to Taiwan...

Totally hooked on the sountrack of 50 First Dates, basically a collection of laid-back, reggae-infused cover versions of songs from the 80s... fits my lazy-azz mood these days...

Flying to Wichita, KS tomorrow night for an install - get to relax in Minneapolis over the weekend instead of hanging out in Frankfurt...

The trip was decided a few weeks ago but suddenly last Friday my boss asks me to "think about cancelling the trip" because we were too busy in Minneapolis.

Came to the office on Monday to tell him the reasons why I would like to still go... we have some urgent customer issues I would like to resolve with my German colleages - he said I should send an email to Germany, and we would discuss again after seeing their response on Tuesday.

Sometime around lunch my boss walks into my office and tells me that he had scheduled a meeting between me and a colleage from Canada... what happened to "let's wait until tomorrow to decide"?

Whatever. $#%@.
