A report from a colleague .....



Well, we were supposed to leave here this weekend, and I was planning  
on coming back to the office on Wednesday.  Now we're trapped here  
for who knows how long.  Our flight was canceled and they rebooked us  
on another flight yesterday.  We went to Heathrow, kids, lots of  
luggage and all, and stood outside for a couple hours before our new  
flight was canceled.  They're not even letting people into the  
terminals.  We were just massed in a car park area outside while  
people called out flights with a megaphone that no one could hear.   
There were lines just for the privilege of asking a person standing  
outside for information, which they usually didn't have.   
Unfortunately, we're on British Airways and they seem to be doing  
much worse than the other airlines, canceling most of their flights.   
In theory, we're going two and two on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I  
don't know if even that will happen.  Vytas is on a hopeless mission  
to the airport to stand in some ridiculous line to try to persuade  
someone to rebook us on another airline.

So, in short, I may be in on Wednesday, but I'm beginning to feel  
pretty pessimistic about that.

Hope everyone in the office has had a good summer.  We've had a great  
time here, though I'm not liking the end game at all.
