Well, I got snappish a few times at FT, but it's hard to be in a pack of wild dogs and not bite back once in a while. 

I'll enjoy that drink indeed.  Glad to have one more group of people to keep me from accomplishing anything this entire week, but have a fun time nonetheless....

Thanks for the kind welcome sir, I hope I can contribute. 



+1 Same here - I rediscovered my love for the forums and amazingly my productivity has dropped precipitously. I have got projects and deadlines coming up fast, especially if I want to take a week off in HKG in August.
How do you get a group of lawyers to smile for a picture?

Does it seem like they are going to cancel everyone? What did the supervisor give you? What was their  compensation?! THIS is NUTS!!! I cant handle the suspense!

Can you go into more detail on the infant ticket involved? Was that part of an original reservation or an attempted add on? Did you have less than the required miles in your MP account?

Smart choice. Keep us updated! (Be sure to remember the agent who offered you $100 to refer back to it if they try to get away with no compensation...)
