So, today Carl (aka Mr. Vague) is sitting in a management meeting, where they were having a videoconference with the key managers at our other office in Bordeaux.

Near the end of the meeting, one of them announces that anyone traveling over to Bordeaux next week may have troubles, as there are a lot of strikes (including air traffic controllers) going on over there. "Oui, we even had to cancel our advanced training for this week!"

Carl looks at them and says, "You mean the advanced training that P is on her way over there to do a presentation for?"

"Ah, oui...."

"Uhh, has anyone bothered to tell her that??"

Soon after which I received a phone call from him telling me to not bother going to the airport, but unfortunately I was already AT THE AIRPORT.

Grrrr.

They cancelled the training yesterday, and it didn't quite occur to them that someone traveling 5 thousand miles to get there might need to know that. Fuckers.

On a positive note, since I don't have to leave for Bordeaux now until Monday, I basically got my wish and have been given three extra days to catch up on work.

Sadly, so much for the beach.
