Preston’s teasing of the boys continues. . .
A long time ago in a land far, far away……….
Two men were born.
One German. One French.
Over the years, they both developed nasty smoking habits…….
In a recent BBC investigation, it was proved that smokers are twice as likely to snore because of inflamed airways….
Other contributory factors are……drinking alcohol.
Matthieu and Buettner are sharing a room in Porto…..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yesterday one of the Brits on my team said, “I’m not talking about the weather.”
It cracks me up that they were annoyed by Seattleites talking about the weather. I guess they met their weather talking match. . .
Richard is taking my place for the Porto trip. The thought of Stuart, Matt, Ollie and Richard roaming Portugal is rather frightening.
Preston sent them the following. . .
Hello Boys!!!!
Here are some tips for your weekend away. Pay heed. I want you all to come back both emotionally and physically intact.(well….as intact as when you left….ahem…ok…I just want you all back intact).
1. NEVER share a bed ‘innocently’ with a mate. Inevitably, you will wake up spooning each other and wonder where it all went wrong.
2. Spin the bottle is a game only intended for hetrosexual teenage parties.
3. If you’re doing well chatting up a woman….and the other guys are laughing and egging you on….look again!!! SHE’S PROBABLY A MAN!!!!
4. There is no such thing as male bonding. It’s just GQ’s nice way of referring to gay sex.
5. Drinking multi-coloured shots are never a good idea, whether home or abroad.
6. All prisons abroad are likely to mirror the conditions in Midnight Express.
7. I’m not bailing any of you outta gaol.
8. The appropriate amount of alcohol consumption is the equivalent to what you normally consume in an average evening at home……to the power of 10.
Good luck!!!

Had a wonderful time last night hangimg out with Sara, Meredith, Brent and Katie. Got in a little after midnight, climbed into bed and slept.
Until I woke up at 4AM.
The work people are taking us out to a meal tonight so I can’t back out.
I would like traveling for business so much more if you could sleep in.
Watching Condi on CNN. She’s talking about Iran. I think, “As much money as she makes, you would think she would fix her teeth.”
I am amazed how insipid I can be.
But she really should fix them.
I’m riding out the worst jet lag of my life. I was going to go to dinner with Seattle friend’s tonight, but I feel so crapified I’m canceled which I feel terrible about.
Just ordered room service and then I am going to climb into bed.
Off to Seattle for a week of training. Is good timing because Tuesday is my friend Meredith’s birthday so I am hoping I will be able to break away from the corporate social activities.
I also have $67.00 on my Gap card and a little over $100 on my Banana Republic card so SHOPPING and not deal with the exchange rate they way I do when I shop here.
It will be so nice to be earning pounds and spending pounds rather than losing money from the crap exchange rate from the US to UK. Of course you won’t here me complaining about the exchange rate when I am turning pounds into dollars. . .
Anyway off I go.
I really wish I could have Scotty just beam me over there. I really hate long haul flights. God help me if I ever go to Oz.

I didn’t get into The X-Files when it first came on. I imagined that it was for people that ate a lot of paste in Elementary School. I thought the same thing about Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Both shows, a couple of seasons in, I became a huge fan.
Buffy, I watched to the end and I went back and caught episodes from the first three seasons. I still think it was one of the best shows out there, deftly mixing comedy and the horror genre. The Body, Once More with Feeling and Hush are masterpieces as far as I am concerned.
I stopped watching The X-Files a few years before the finale and I never went back and watched the early episodes like I had with The Buffster. The main flaw that with the show was I don’t think Chris Carter ever knew what the big truth was for the “The Is Out There†so it ultimately became a big, make it up as you go along.
That being said, this last week we have been watching the first season on DVD and I can really see how people got hooked. It’s really fantastic.
It’s also a big hoot to see the early 90’s fashion.
This is a beautiful, beautiful turn of events that may result in my believing there is a God.
I almost feel like a business woman. Yesterday my company mobile was turned on and today I got my American Express Card.
I almost feel like a grown-up.
You would think the fact that I am on average ten years older than everyone else that I work with would do it. . .

Not that I think that anyone would be silly enough to steal my ramblings, but in case you may be thinking about it. . . the very act of my writing this means that I own the copyright. Really. Look it up.
So, please don't plagiarize. It just ain't cool. And what I say just isn't that interesting. Trust me. Most of my friends don't even read this.
That being said, I do subscribe to the T.S. Eliot philosophy of "Immature poets borrow, mature poets steal." There is a difference between Stealing and stealing. . . This is not to say that I am mature. If anything. . . I'm rambling aren't I? That's what I do. I ramble. So, yeah. I'll shut up now.
