pass

my officemate was checking out this training in india.

me:  'take it, take it... i haven't been there... i'll fly in and room with you...'

officemate:  'hmmm... visit me there, ok...'

me:  'it has to be a on weekend... we cannot both be away [from the office]... how long is the travel time?'

we check the web  ->  7 hours.

'ooops... a weekend's not enough.  is there a long weekend between january and march next year?'

'holy week?'

'will that fall within march next year?'

i check the calendar.  then on the side i ask, 'how much is the fare?'

she looks at the monitor and tells me, '500 euros??'

me:  'euros?!'

she shows me the screen.

ooops, that's the symbol for euros alright.

me:  'ei, i'd rather go to taiwan...  i'll just look at you intently before you leave.  not flying there anymore...'

officemate:  'LOL!  let's just see each other in webcam...'

good idea...  ; )
