Notes from the Krabi "Business" Trip
I wrote this in the library of the Krabi Sheraton. Just then, two different guys asked me if they could use the internet. (Read about it in the notes.) Those idiots got me so pissed that I wrote down ten answers I should have answered instead of the one I gave.

I was discussing something on Personnel with my boss Princess when talk turned to the Sales convention in Thailand at the end of the month.
"Where is it going to be?" she asked.
"In Kra-- krabi? Am not sure about the name," I answered.
"Krabi?! That's where they shot The Beach with Leonardo!"
"Really? I didn't know that."
"Do you want to go?"
"Well..." I wasn't sure. Time away from the desk meant cramming before and after the trip. I definitely hated cramming.
"Just tell me what to do, Christie." She was clearly exasperated with me. The previous discussions were pissing her off because we couldn't get a resolution. And the fact that I was catching the dregs of Friday afternoon with her didn't help.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Do you want to take the girls with you?"
"Yeah, I don't want to go there alone."
"It's settled then." She replied.
"Good."
Later on, I told my planner J about the trip (who was the only one available on the trip dates because M was pregrant, and MR was on honeymoon.) She screamed right into my ear, "I feel like I've just won the lottery!"
