Fair enough although I doubt it was much of a surprise attack. We've had email and talked about the event on here for over a month.

I hung up.
Not surprised.

Let's see.

Kamikaze - I don't think anyone died in that hallway, plus, careful with the ethnic slurs. People are sensitive around here.

Surprise attack - Not so much, we told them we were coming a month ago.

The conference call, while a complete dumpster fire, was mildly amusing. Especially the dude complaining about trip length. There's five minutes of my life I'll never get back. At least no one was complaining about how dirty the airplanes are.

Ya nothing new on the conference call. Sounds like we are in for the loooooong haul although it sounds like attrition is creeping up and that is only going to get worse for the co


Whatever it takes

Kamikaze in Japanese means "divine wind" and refers to a great storm which destroyed an enemy invasion fleet in their history. Very much like the storm which sank the Spanish Armada when it tried to invade England. It is in no way an ethnic slur.

Well it is in the "racial slur database." Kind of sad such a thing exists but it does, and the K word is in it.
