I happened to see Queenie's thread.

Hmmm I wonder if the shareholders know what to do.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Sell!

Qantas, our ever UNreliable national carrier has been in a very bitter dispute with its staff over pay and wages. Been going on publically for the better part of about 3 months now.
The Shareholder Annual General Meeting was yesterday. The CEO requested and got a pay rise. His pay will go from $3plus Million to over $5 Million. It prompted a shareholder walk-out.

ALL FLIGHTS GROUNDED now.

Perhaps he and Bernie Madoft should compare notes!

 

[queenie82]

It couldn't keep going...
QANTAS will go bust if it accepts all the demands....
These people should be happy just to HAVE a job. I saw a story with a man working for GM who accepted a payCUT of 40%...and is just GRATEFUL to have a job...


Having seen and lost MANY ffp's to the Ansett destruction...this was the ONLY course of action. To force the hand of the government.

 

[skiingfast]

Sell!

No, you vote against the board that gave hime the raise.

 

[kmedina]

Sorry you've been ill.

Thank you.

Kmedina, hope you feel better. Glad somebody got some good sleep.

Ahh egg foo young love it.

Thank you. I am feeling better (no fever, body aches, regained my voice much to my husband's dismay), but my throat still feels like it's on fire. This is my first brush with strep, and I hope it will be the last.

Well, I know that kmedina has been working on much less sleep....but I was not good today with a distinct lack of sleep last night.

My baby is waking more at night too. He did not even make it for two hour intervals the last few nights. It's like he senses that my sickness is robbing my sleep and says, how can I get some of that? I know I should not be doing late night DISsing, but I am so behind in my chores that I may not get back on all weekend. At least I slept some on Tuesday until I was awakened with a 104.7 temp that is.

I'm glad you are feeling better.

Thank you.

My grand father lived in an upscale suburb. His neighbor was an airplane mechanic with 5 mercedes.

I grew up visiting my grand father wondering how a dirty mechanic could have a new car every year.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Everyone seems to be up late.

 

[skiingfast]

Everyone seems to be up late.

It is Friday.

 

[queenie82]

Friday?? It's 4 hours until Sunday

Sending more hugs kmedina. I'm so sorry your baby is disturbing your sleep as well. I hope bubs is keeping well though.

I wondered if I should remind you to get to bed...

Well Friday night, though truly Saturday. At least we are all on the same day for a change.

 

[PrincessInOz]

It's Saturday! Party time!

 

[queenie82]

True...
Same day is exciting! We are moving further apart in times though. The UK is about to regain their hour completing the shift from them being 9 hours behind to 11 hours behind.
[behind Oz time...]

 

[queenie82]

It's Saturday! Party time!

Do you think after your nap you'll still sleep well tonight?
Or you in party mode

 

[PrincessInOz]

Let's face it....except for a couple of small islands in the Pacific, everyone else is behind Oz.

 

[skiingfast]

I'm glad you are excited, it's probably the nap you got in.

 

[queenie82]

They are...
Those insignificant islands are of no consequence to me

 

[PrincessInOz]

I'm glad you are excited, it's probably the nap you got in.

Delirious!...or is that delicious??

 

[PrincessInOz]

It's wasted. I don't think that any of those Kiwis wander in here.
