Wow! Great memory! To make a long story short, I was in charge of a 2 month project for my old job. (I was later hired by the company which is why I am now here in the DR). The project started on September 14th 1997 and ended on November 14th 1997, at 12 AM. (I was on call 24 hours a day. I set my computers up to wake me up if I received a customer email or main system alert etc.) This meant that at 12 AM on the 14th, I completed my reports and I was done! I had a friend pick me up at my house at 6 AM to drive me to the airport. The planning and timing of all events was flawless! Until I got to the airport... The only plane they had going to LV had mechanical problems and had been canceled. They had a later fight but it would not have gotten me there in time. I was not pleased. Hanky anyone? No? Well, could you please email me a few??? ......----===*Chris... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2002 08:49:03 +1000 From: "Crohan, Mark F" Subject: Long way to the top > The ABC is showing their series on Aussie rock again and of course=20 > included the Bee Gees last night.
