It's not all fun and games...

I am in Paris with 100 people who have traveled from all corners of the world. We are working together to implement a common system with common business processes. The scope and complexity is immense. We are working until 7:00 to 7:30 PM each evening. Even though it is winter, the conference rooms are extremely hot. The damned Parisians, Even though wearing sweaters are always cold. Even the Australians from the outback where it is summer are burning up. To make matters worse, we are packed into tiny crowded conference rooms and the French apparently don't wear deodorant. The mornings aren't too bad but by afternoon the stench is unbearable! It makes me want to vomit.
