i'm not going to post the link or the press release c.k. i'm enjoying thoroughly you disparaging me and trying to avoid the issues i've proferred today vs your name calling and other unbecoming to rich and famous lifestyle inculturation. and i'm finding enormous satisfaction in techno's underlings looking high and low for the obvious. when he/they find/s it, you'll feel really dumb for not thinking of looking there first. i'd be careful if i were you of accusing l.g. and j.y. as spreading conjecture in such a public manner. they didn't get to be fed govenors because they were loose of lip, publically or privately. they just didn't think anyone would report or record their speeches. but then, my money isn't in the bank, so i don't care if they are NOT open Dec 31 through Jan 10th frankly, IF THEN. techno is going to be on boeing's normal holiday schedule the last week of december anyhow. you see that week is when boeing 'closes down' and calls their strikes/blue flu or whatever they are going to call it this year, so that they can renegotiate to current pricing all their undelivered aircraft which are backordered until, what is it 2008, techno? otherwise, they are hit with heavy contractual penalties for not having delivered on time, something they are loathe to put into their shareholder year end accountability statements, let alone absorb. same old trick they use every year. and every year the market falls for it. and every year it is a good time to buy their stock. except for this year, techno! so, you'll get your holiday mgmt level bonus plus your hardwork IT bonus. see if they won't advance you your 1st week of jan's pay in december as well. then you'll be better able to weather the first official bank holiday of the y2k ready usa fractional banking system since the 1930s. should give you plenty of time for reflection upon all the incomplete y2k work ahead of you as the simultaneous systemic/cascading failures crash around your head and ears. just think of doing all that re-work that you'll receive promisory pay vouchers for instead of spendable cash. might want to re-think what you are going to do with your bonus this year. maybe you can get an advance line of credit against your upcoming bonus and pull forward some of your last minute stealthy panicy y2k provisionings?? tell us techno: how many back up generators does boeing have to keep the flight line going? and what is the economy of seattle going to look like, with NO payroll to create the customary money multiplier effect? ah, the imponderables. so much for 767 delivereds and new sales records in 2000. and all that avionic refitting business?? do your mba cad/cam 'spoiled with the latest in 3-D systems' stereo-lithography toys' engineers even still OWN a y2k compliant slide rule or their pocket sized logrithmic tables?
