My bosses bosses boss was in today from New York, had a good chat with him. Turns out, our division has purchased a company based in Vancouver. Their finance function is in a right mess apparently, and he asked me if I would go over there for a couple of weeks to help sort it out!!! I said yes on one condition........ Mustang hire car!

Should be a good trip if it comes off!

Start looking for a place to live. I have heard "just a few weeks" many times. The most recent "few weeks" trip for a co-worker was 1 1/2 years ago, and the guy still hasn't returned.

Lol! For once I wasn't travelling on "staff" travel........security seem to leave you alone when you have paid full fare for your ticket!

At least I get to watch Monday night football at a "normal" time!

Well, in Long Island now, watched the packers secure a beautiful victory last night, then watched the Eagles beat the Redskins.....BOOOOO

Managed to lay my hands on an '05 brochure yesterday! The dealer really didn't want to give it up.....but I convinced him!

No, I had two cars, and Alero and a Sunfire. For a small basic car, the Suunfire was great!
