Frantic Substitute Friday

[kybearfuzz]

Today is Friday for me, thanks to the "national day of mourning" for government employees. I'm not getting much done, I admit. I can't concentrate. The trip is looming ever so close and I can think are things like, "Did I pay that bill in time? Have I forgotten my plane ticket? I need to do laundry, etc"

It doesn't help that I have one supervisor who has been calling every five minutes with stupid questions (not my supervisor, mind you!). In addition, I have one co-worker, whom I'll call Mr. Helpful, who has been coming up to me giving advice on how to get around Canada plus maps and tourist stuff, so I don't get "lost". It's Canada, you idiot, not some Third World country where they don't speak English! He constantly is thinking of something else to tell me.

I think I'm leaving early today just to get away from the madness and get home where so many things still need to get done.

Okay, I must've missed the entry where you explained this, but when are you coming to my country? Details!

Sorry, guy, I totally forgot where you lived! I'm heading to Canada and Italy for the next three weeks. I go to Brantford, ON, first, then Vancouver, BC, for a week. My last week is in Rome, Italy.

I guess I haven't posted the actual "trip".. I should do that.

I live in Toronto, which is close to Brantford. What will you be doing there?

I'm inspecting a firm that exports medical device products to the US.

I see! What days will you be in the area? Let me know if there's a chance of meeting, Inspector!

I fly into Toronto on Saturday and should be in Brantford all week. I may be meeting jprtoronto on Saturday sometime after I arrive. At some point I'm having dinner with a buddy in Toronto that week (we've not set the exact time).

I have a guest this weekend, but it would be nice to meet you one weekday evening. Perhaps we could set something up via e-mail.

We speak English? I wish I knew these details.....

You should tell him that his maps are useless as we travel in helicopters.
