1. Oh, your screen name says it all....

poor thing; my condolences are with you. Hopefully you will have a nice cool cocktail waiting for you when you get off work. And I sincerely hope that Wal-mart will have reopened the roads by then.
:)

I wonder if how many of those public streets that Wal-mart is having closed was one of those corporate subsidies that Wal-mart is so famous for receiving?

3. The thing is Wal-Mart Home Office is in Bentonville, about 20 miles from here. They have the meeting

here because in the days before they bring in thousands of 'associates' and thousands of 'suppliers'. They take over almost all of the parking lots on campus and the basketball arena.

2. A friend got kicked off a plane a couple years ago

because WalMart had called all of their managers to an emergency meeting. She had bought a cheap ticket and when she got to the gate she was told she had to wait for the next plane. It was also filled by WalMart. She ended up flying out 24 hours after her original flight.

4. Perhaps a cost cutting caterer could give them all food poisoning.

That'd be some kind of justice.
