Week 48 - Thursday 26/10/00

Well the day started out ok.  
What went wrong.

The flight from Prague was delayed by 1 hour. No problem still plenty of time to catch my connection. I have a reserved seat, so that is no problem.

I arrive in Amsterdam, and check in, receive my allocated seat and was informed that there may be a slight delay to my flight. Telling words. I browse the shops, I am thinking of getting a mobile phone charger with a continental plug. I don't.

;Check the time, getting close to boarding so I start the long walk. I check the monitors to see if I am delayed. I am not. I bloody hell Cancelled Back to the transfer desk, The front desk would like to speak to me. Eventually I am placed on a KLM UK flight to Birmingham. A great flight. I have an argument that I win about my suitcase, I do take it on to the plane. They only serve hot or cold drinks, no food.
We arrive into Birmingham and catch a mini-bus back to East Midlands, we arrive 2 hours late. Not too bad.

I get home about 11:30

What a journey!

Amsterdam  The supplier meeting was partially constructive. They went some way towards what we require, but want to rape us up front with a long term saving. We shall see if any good will come of the day.

Week 47 - Monday 16/10/00

Should be the start of an interesting week.  We present the CE IT Strategy to the two countries who have not heard it yet. In for a shock I should say!  Bratislava The meeting went as well as could be expected. The IT Director, who is loosing part of his empire, naturally felt a little put out. However, it has to be said he has done a good job of building an efficient and well managed team and system. We loose modem connections We leave at16:30 for the drive to Prague. About 300Km, we do the journey in 3 hours. After the fun and games checking in, we go for a swim and sauna, meet up with our local PM for a drink in a great little jazz and blues club. I will visit this place again. Shit is happening in Hungary. The system is being restored following a crash during the billing run. Unfortunately, no one called any one before they started the process. so more shit is about happen.

Alton Towers! Can't wait!  Its raining. We like it that way, just to keep the crowds down. But this is real rain, very wet and very cold.  The new Hex ride is very interesting. Plays with mind as well as body.  The other major rides do not disappoint and we enjoy them as usual.
