Nope, Dana.

I expected work today to be stressful, but not this stressful. We had a surprise round of layoffs late this afternoon, losing the last 3 people hired. Our office lost the assistant I share with a fellow manager, a great guy who's really industrious and gets along well with everyone. Ugh. I'm beginning to worry about maybe needing to get a resume updated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ouch, Matt.
...maybe I should think again about that Big Boss gift.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have a ticket to Kathmandu, Nepal via Doha, Qatar, in July. flail
Direct from Doha to Kathmandu? Wow.
How are you traveling from Kathmandu to Thimphu?

Direct Dulles to Doha, crazy layover, direct Doha to Kathmandu according to the tickets. I can't quite figure out the hours in flight, too many time zones. We have separate tickets on Druk Air from Kathmandu to Thimpu via the tour organizer (our tour of 3!) Bhutan regulates its tourism tightly, but my presence makes us legit.
I still can't believe my mom agreed to this. She HATES flying. She's done the flight from Miami down to Peru, but the tales of the flight into Thimpu would appear to be a deal killer. But she warmed up to the idea after the Folklife Feast even as it warned her off, to my surprise. Maybe I'll take my spare vicodin, just in case.

Um, and anyone have suggestions to spending 7-10 evening/overnight hours in Doha? Get a hotel for the overnight? Just me, I'd wing it and endure , but my parents... If it were daylight hours, I'd look into tours/souks. But inbound is 7 pm at best (7 hr) and outbound is definitely a sleep-thru it. Hotel for the 10 hour?

I'd say hotel. I think it's nice to have a place to shower, brush teeth, relax that isn't a super public airport space. and maybe some sleeping.
