A while ago i wrote this “four easy steps to permenant residance in the dog box” which goes a bit like this
1. Spend two lots of THREE weeks out of the country on business (Redmond)
2. Miss Mothers Day because you are out of the country on business??
3. Spend another FIVE Days out of the country on business (Barcelona, Tech-ed IT Forum)
4. Miss the wifes birthday, because your are out of the country on business
Now I have fifth one
5. Accept a Facebook friend invite from an EX-Girlfriend
