I just knew that would warm your... I can't bring myself to say it... let's just leave it at heart.  Of course, it would take some sort of nuclear blast to warm my heart, but I digress.

Online driving class?  Heh... do you have to write "I promise not to speed" a hundred times?  Answer multiple choice questions like:

The posted speed limit is 25.  Your speed is:
A.  Bat out of Hell fast
B.  50 until I see the cop then I slow to a crawl of 22
C.  34... everyone knows you are OK as long as you are under 10 miles over the limit...
D.  25 mph

enders_shadow - 2008-02-11 9:51 PM The answer is, of course, B or C. Depends on whether the area is known for speed traps. The best part of the class is now I know what to do if my hood should magically pop open while I'm driving down the road. Just in case that ever happens, y'know. (I should attempt to pull slowly to the side of the road while looking low through the little opening between the hood and the car, and if my vision is still impaired, I should stick my head out the window like a little dog and follow the lane lines on the side. I'm not sure I'm gonna pass the final quiz.

Morning Nibbs!

So, what have I missed?

I got my laptop yesterday - now I just need to figure out how to get connected to the network at the apartment

with any luck I will be online tonight

barqhead - 2008-02-12 7:42 AM Sending good work vibes. I know you will need them!

barqhead - 2008-02-12 7:44 AM Morning, Nibbs. I am procrastinating. Have a 6 mile run on tap that I'm kind of scared of. I love running. Running is fun! Just me and my body on the road. Kind of like a chalk drawing at a crime scene...No, wait. Must stay positive!

barqhead - 2008-02-12 7:42 AM Yay! Nighttime Nibbs hasn't been the same without you.

x2!

Any word on the job front?

milaminute - 2008-02-12 8:40 AM

Heh.  I almost snorted coffee out of my nose .

Good morning, Nibbs.  I am procrastinating, too.  I am not planning to work out until this evening but one would think I could use my time wisely during the in the meantime... huh.  Interesting concept.

zipp1 - 2008-02-12 8:42 AM It's a long story...the person I interviesew with thought I was unwilling to cros train into the lab itself so she told the AD no on me. I have spoken to the AD nd said I would cross train but I thought it wouldn't be right away.  She needs to talk to the person I spoke to and discuss this.  In the meantime the insurance co.  re-posted the job and I reapplied for it last night. My older daughter is looking into a specialty center near where that job is so I could bring her in and home from school.  PLUS, they have 2 corporate fitness centers on site so I could work out if I wanted if I had to drop her off early or stay late fo her...All I would need the gym membership for is the pool--possibilities if SOMEONE would call me!

I have a midday meeting... but that sound more like my yesterday... hand in there! And dont forget to eat....

milaminute - 2008-02-11 7:23 PM

Hellloooooo Nibbs!!

Item #1:  I got very little sleep last night.  I must get up very early tomorrow.  Can anyone tell me why, then, I am drinking wine?  And by drinking wine I mean... a lot of it.

Item #2:  In reference to item #1, seriously, when I poured my wine (ummm... and then boy toy subsequently kept pouring)... is it a bad sign that I looked at the full glass and thought, immediately, of Kristen?

As for Sal's avatar (couldn't quote because it kept wanting to be a link, see above...)

TOTAL SANDBAGGER, that Sal!!!  One of our mentees had this great idea to have a mentor group challenge and Sal set his goals at like 50 yards of swimming, 4 miles on the bike and I think a hundred yard dash.  Oh, look at me!  I'm Sal!  I met my goals before day 11 of the challenge .  Yeah, OK, maybe I am jealous since I was overzealous on my running goal...

milaminute - 2008-02-11 8:35 PM

Yeah, so what else is new?? 

milaminute - 2008-02-11 8:35 PM

Yes, yes he does.  I think we might have to photoshop something special for him if he doesn't pay up soon!!!

Hey Cat, thanks! I actually did O.K., grabbed a quick bowl of chicken soup, an orange and some apple sauce. Pretty darn good for eating on the run. The work-place here is pretty progressive. They've got a fridge they keep stocked with fruits and veggies. They're trying to promote healthier snacking (since I do work for a food company). It's all on the house! It's great!
