Some of the higher ups are thinking about going to a conference in Paris, so I've been on the hunt for hotels and hostels. I looked at hotels in terms of price and distance from conference. The cheapest one is, of course, a twenty five minute walk. The shortest-distance one was also one of the steeper-priced hotels.
It kind of bums me out that I've been put on this task. I would really like to be the one going on this trip.
That's cruel. I should complain, Eliza. You get to research the hotels and book them and you don't get to go.
ReplyDeleteOnce in Paris you could have gone to the Garde de Nord, hopped on a Eurostar and been in London for afternoon tea, Twinings of course, visited Covent Garden for some Christmas presents, passing Jane's brother Henry's house in the vicinity and been back in Paris for your evening dinner.Bugger the conference!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the best,
Tony
Sorry. Just realised. The last comment is a little bit of English humour. It's NOT a literal comment which would be disgusting. We generally, men and women, alike use it as term of gentle humourous invective. It's not taken literally at all. People usually laugh when it is used.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to make that clear.
Well, I think it's more an issue of they can't afford to send more people and no one else has time to take a look at the issue. I honestly am not sure at this point if anyone is going at all, just because no one gave me a budget to shoot for, so possibly we can't even afford it as is.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the bugger comment. I realized you weren't being literal.
