I have dodged France once again!
« on: February 10, 2004, 07:17:42 PM »
My 1st level manager asked me to go for two weeks last year (I won't get into the work relationship we have with our vendor, Dassault because it could violate proprietary information)  I said no.

Today, my 2nd level manager asked me to go to France for two weeks...again I said no.

I suspect I will not be able to say no next time...so fair warning to my good friend Straffo...hope you live relatively close to Paris.  Its only a matter of time.

You should go Rip you'll love it. The French are...........well so very French. As for Paris. The Parisiens are rude to everybody so don't take it personally.

I sometimes think the French have the priorities of life sorted. Food, wine, working hours.

Are they arrogant? As a Frenchman said to me 'Arrogant? Yes we are, so?

The only carpet to be found in France is under the arms of the women.  Well, that and he's stupid.

I live (currently) at 100km from Paris (that make about one hour train/car) and I live at about 2 hours from the closer D-Day beach .

I dunno SOB. Rip in France could cause a sort of hyperbaric arrogance vortex of hot air that would adversely affect weather across Europe and probably accelerate global warming.

And the 3rd level manager said, whoopee, fire these retarded level 2 and Level 1 managers that need to "Ask" tool makers that do about **** all day but cut and paste tarded junk about nothing on a game BBS all day, to go to France.

And then the airlines production lines were saved, Boeing stock soared!

The Level 3 manager, still mad at the days events, drove his 7 series by a highly polished 3 series, thinking it was his mistress in a welfare wanna be yuppy car, he waved.  But it was Droopy.

The End
