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.
