Fellow Oracle slaves: I just couldn't resist... Thursday, I received the long awaited flyer for the 1990 International Oracle User Week in Anaheim, California. An impressive flyer...filled with bios about guest speakers, seminar abstracts and complete information regarding hotel accomodations. Here's the clincher... "Register now and save!" "When you register by June 30, you'll save $100 on the basic conference rate of $875, or $100 on the 'All in One' travel package. Both rates cover all International Oracle User Week sponsored programs, presentations and special events." Let's see, I received this flyer on Thursday, June 28. To save a few hundred bucks in registration fees (what's a few hundred bucks nowadays?), this leaves me one and one half (work) days to immediately put down everything that I'm doing to... a) convince my boss that this would be a great event for me and other(s) of my dedicated co-workers to attend b) discuss the listed hotel plans with my boss (which are significantly out of my per diem rate) c) get approval from Corporate (on the west coast) after a positive response from my boss and d) make those reservations before I have to pay more $$$ Thanks be to modern technology and understanding bosses, I am registered and ready to rock-n-roll in beautiful Anaheim. See y'all there... PS: For those who are interested in receiving a copy of the promo poster inside the flyer, send a SAE to me at the Center. For all of those who haven't seen it, it's a picture of a surfer dude holding a keyboard and a surfboard. (I was always wondering what they REALLY did in Belmont...#%^o ) / /\_ | _//\####/ | | | | _^ _^_ |Dale Cooper |||||||||| | (o)( O) |Center for Seismic Studies --|||||||||||||||||----- _-_<>-_- -------------------|Arlington, VA |||| || | | {::(::::} | | | | \_@@\__/ ACK-PHFT!!! |Visit Beautiful | @@| |Washington, DC... @@| | Where even the (STANDARD DISCLAIMER HERE) || | mayor parties!
