Quick story

so, i was squatting in one of the training rooms at the client site today and one of the training coordinators comes in and says, "excuse, sorry, but training is starting soon and you have to leave." I say, "no problem." I start packing up my belongings hurriedly. He then says, "very sorry maam - but the Blacks are coming!" I do a double take and replay his comment in my head and say "excuse me?" he repeats, "the Blacks are coming!" and gestures to the hallway, where I see a group of Sudanese bankers waiting for the training class to start. OK, so, obviously, PC does not mean Politically Correct in Egypt!

4 DAYS and counting

... can't wait to get stateside!!! I'm sooo looking forward a full week in Lake Tahoe, fresh U.S. air, then kalbi, japchae, kimchi, bap,
with family in D.C. and Big Kahuna (aka my preggers sister) tells me that we're doing an early Thanksgiving feast too!
Can't Wait!!! I have it all planned out...Right when i hit US soil, I'm calling everyone in my contacts list whether they wanna hear from me or not. For those that plan to screen their calls, i'm leaving a loooooong ass message. Heeheehee...Ah!!! Unpolluted mountain air, casino, spa, FRIKIN a little piece of heaven awaits me. Just an 11 hour flight and the ocean stand in the way. Btw, HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Needless to say, I won't be expecting any trick or treaters at my door tonight.
