Hell, yeah. :)

This was good fun. For now it looks like I'm still good for Thursday or Friday, maybe earlier (should know more today).

How 'bout you, Kestrel? If we can't meet living around the corner from each other, maybe the 'Rover'll work. :)

Juxt3r? I suppose it's better if you can't make it 'cause that'd mean you're feeling better and can make it to work, but it'd be good to see you again.

Friday's best, but I may be able to do Thursday as well.

Friday's not bad for me. My only concern is that I have to drop Audra off for a 10:50 flight, but as long as there's no problem with the flight, I'd be done before noon.

Friday works just fine.

Generally I won't be able to make these weekday lunches as you guessed, unless I'm "sick". This week, however, I'm in Denver, and I'm not much for the 13-hour commute, even if the food is really good. :)
You guys try to have a good time without me, though, okay?

[ccage]

Juxt3r, we'll catch you another time then. We'll come up with some more Frisco events soon!

I don't care who you are, that's funny.

13 hours? Sounds like you're driving slowly!

Well, as of now we're on for noon Friday at the Irish Rover in Frisco. PM me if you need additional directions or information.

ccage - gimme an addy and some info. I may try to sneak out for a long lunch on Friday and join you guys.

Any idea how far the drive would be from 78 & the George Bush Tollway?

I should be able to swing by, would be good to see ya Iain & to meet some of the group.

The Irish Rover
8250 Gaylord Pkwy
Frisco, TX 75034

It's on the North side of Gaylord just East of Parkwood (or in more general terms just barely N of the Stonebriar mall).

Any idea how far the drive would be from 78 & the George Bush Tollway?

If you mean 75 and GB, I'd say about 30 minutes or so without serious traffic. There may be a more direct route, but it's probably fastest to just come East across GB and N on the Tollway to Frisco. The last Tollway exit is actually Gaylord (the tollway thankfully now crosses 121), so you just exit, make a right, and look for the 'Rover on the left just past Parkwood. It's on the corner of a strip mall.

Glad you can make it -- it'll be good to see you again!

It's about time you buck the system and do the long corporate lunch!!

The beautiful thing about the new job is that there really are no set hours - as long as I get done what I need to get done, no one cares if I'm in my cube at a set time every day or not.

It's nice as long as it's understood what you need to get done. I keep getting caught up in the, "Oh, you're taking a long lunch?... let me give you more to do" syndrome.

I've had to endure that at some former stations. Thankfully, it's not a problem here.

That's not a problem - I've got plenty to do. Fortunately, the fact that not everyone adheres to an "in at 8am, out at 5pm" schedule is appreciated around here.

Heck, I've got one co-worker who never makes it in before about 10am - she just admits that she's not a morning person. She pulls her weight and gets her work done (and typically doesn't leave at 5pm, either), so no one has an issue with her desire to sleep in.

Would you guys mind having a lowly S2000 owner join the group. My office is right off Gaylord just on the other side of the tollroad in Hall Office Park.

Come on out! Wouldn't want to miss out when you're that close by.
