colleagues abroad...

So, current status of all my workmates who should be at work but aren't is:

Guy stuck in Milan...should fly home Saturday.
The one stuck in Rome...should fly home Monday.
Ones in Shanghai...the earliest flights they could possibly get are...6th of MAY!! So they've gone on holiday...one to NZ, one to Australia. The Australia thing was already planned...the NZ wasn't.
Our work is still in Heathrow, but they reckon airspace might reopen tonight...in 2 mins, in fact...so maybe there's hope??
