I was in Thailand with two of my sons and four others for 2 weeks.  It was simply amazing, but different that I expected.  It is difficult to explain &#39;different&#39; for me.  There were parts of it that hit me hard, and I think I was a little disappointed that I didn&#39;t see more of that from my boys, but I know they appreciated going, from some of the stories they wrote down to report to some people at church.  I probably expected a little too much for teenage boys.<br /><br />Deb - I guess it is technically HP doing the crazy schedule, but it is still the same team I worked for with EDS.  please don&#39;t tell me there&#39;s ANOTHER pay cut coming.  Our group just went through the exercise of porting our jobcodes to HP jobcodes and part of that involved lining people&#39;s current pay up with their new code.  If you were in a certain percentage of your salary range for your code, you were &quot;adjusted&quot;.  There were a few on my team that got hit with cuts, but fortunately it did not affect me.   This would have been the third cut this year for some people...please tell me this is the one you&#39;re referring to.  <br /><br />Take care...<br />Gibber
