CHEATED, AGAIN
I'm off to Norfolk tomorrow (motto: It's Nor-folk, not Nor-fork, Dammit!) to give a presentation to the Port Authority. See, port relationships is part of my job. And a very important one. So when I saw that the American Association of Ports Authorities is having their annual convention in Curacao the end of September, I was ready to plan my itinerary. Book my bash
We are currently mired in a State of Budget Constraints, however. The second half of the year is always like that. Why can't these people plan these shindigs in March? So the Mighty Overlord of Travel and Entertainment has cast a jaundiced eye upon my Perfectly Legitimate and Essential Journey. I'm fighting back with my Arsenal of Justification (Vital Mission! Competitive Edge!) But I've been down this path before. Those folks (not forks, dammit!) will be slathering up sun and rum without me. Grrrr... and shit.
Got to go to a convention in DisneyWorld once for a Quality seminar/convention. HR was a little suspicious but the next such thing was being held in Vegasso I got to go.
Dragged along the Wonderful Spouse (boy wasn't he just real upset about that - ha).

Posted by: Laura at August 27, 2003 11:43 AMHeh, Laura kind of beat me to it. I was going to say "isn't it Norfuck?"
That's how it sounds if you don't take care to pronounce it just so when we say "Norfolk County" here in Massachusetts.
