10) Someone mentions that they have just return from a SVO TS Presentation and before they end their sentence you immediately blurt out "RESCIND!, BUY RESALE!"

next...
{Happy Friday}
 
9) You talk endlessly about the differences between voluntary and mandatory resorts.
 
9) You type in the wrong SVO resort acronym when using II to search because our abbreviations make a lot more sense...:rolleyes:
 
7) You are always giving advice regarding a trip to the Harborside resort at Atlanitis in Paradise Island.:p
 
your DH or DW is ready for bed and you are busy giving SVO advice to a perfect stranger, and you say Honey they need me , I'll be right up!!!!
 
You have stopped eating apples and bananas; your favorite fruit is now oranges.

You are 5*Elite/PFL and have 776K StarOptions, yet you only have 2 weeks of vacation per year.
 
You HAD to buy a Westin Heavenly Bed for your bedroom at home :)

The 3 "R"s don't mean Readin', ritin', and 'rithmetic, they mean RESCIND, RESEARCH, RESALE.
 
How about . . . .

You are a manager/VP at SVO and you want to find out what's going on at your company.

you can't wait until nodge's next link to Starwood's inner workings - oranges anyone?
 
The most frequently opened files on your computer are the SO and SP spreadsheets you downloaded from TUG.

Your DH or DW wishes you just went shopping for clothes or boats or golf equipment or something "normal", not yet ANOTHER week of vacation.
 
When someone says that they are looking to requal a RW resale 2Bd LO WMH Plat worth 148.1K SOs with a WLR EOY Gold, but can't find the SVO OM that tells you whether it is a M or V resort and you are unsure of whether the SVN, II or SFX exchange is a better value, and need to find out how many incentive SPs you can get with the EP to make it worth it, and how many 'phantom' SOs you can use for your other TS to get to 5*/PFL....

you know exactly what they are talking about.
