stuck here at the airport waiting for the terminating flight to come in. it's really quiet in the terminal -- no one is really leaving -- i guess all of the other airlines are just waiting for the late arrivals as well.

looks like mark is stuck in atlanta -- poor thing. the woes of traveling non-revenue i suppose. apparently there were some weather problems somewhere in the country and flights ended up getting cancelled. as a result -- alternative flights get filled up.

just remembered that i talked to melanie from universal yesterday. they had a major sheakedown in staffing again -- ie major layoffs. looks like they reorganized sales and marketing and my old department was more or less abolished and merged into another part of sales. some of my old colleagues got the ax. basically all of the outer market sales force and the latin american sales team were let go. it's sad. when i was working the company a few years ago -- my original department (travel industry marketing) was merged into another (travel industry sales). after i left my immediate director got canned and a few of the outer market sales reps were let go. now -- the entire midwest and northeast got axed except for one in new york. man -- it makes you wonder how the company is going to make up the areas that were cut out of the budget!?! i need to contact my old sales reps -- check up on how they are doing.
