Good morning, Fish! Wow, we are way behind after their blitz last night. I had drama at the house and couldn't play. I will try to get back at it today in between real work that must get done today.

ScotinSeattle - 2008-01-08 5:17 PM Wow! They passed us! Arse! I came home and fell asleep on the couch! Not that it matters anyway as it's not a swim night for me. So tomorrow I need to RUN and SWIM to keep up my schedule. Pants.

hehe PANTS??? hehe I like that!

I should use that but its also home time so apart from lack of food Im feeling pretty positive right now!!!!

Hello Cat! Are you feeling a bit better? Pants is one of my favourite words.So much in fact I bought a t shirt that says "PANTS" across my boobies.

The t-shirt actually talks?

So, when I look at the t-shirt when you're wearing it, it displays "PS" because of how the letters are situated, right?

What's real work for you?

I'm supposed to be doing some documentation presentation setup and haven't touched it yet. I have a bunch of fellow Network Admins from around the State (here in WI) coming for a visit on Thurs. and I have been volunteered to present our network anti-virus solution setup. No one asked questions so I have to sum up what I feel is worth noting of the hundreds of options that exist. Funsville.

I am glad to have those days behind me! I do sometimes get calls late in the day from the west coast folks that I work with but that's different usually than dealing with a crisis or some issue someone else doesn't want to deal with.

I'm lucky I have a pretty good staff and can go away without worrying about what is happening at the branch. Then again, life at the library is usually not life or death, and if it is, it's usually not something that I can do anything about.

At least it's nice to have some confidence in SOME of the staff. Having some competent staff makes it easier.

I better start coming up with some snapshots of where stuff is, like where to find the tool to reset the Admin password for their console when they can't remember what they created. Yes, it happens.

Real work for me is selling products for the Life Sciences. I am an independent sales rep for five companies that sale things like rack and cage washers, conveyors, decon systems and material handling equipment. I need to be setting up travel for February, which I will get started on soon. I will be seeing folks here in the Houston area this month, there are a large number of facilities in this area that use my products.

I work from home so I am easily distracted by BT! I have end of year accounting to get done which has been a bit of a headache but this spreadsheet should take care of some of it. I am waiting for the accountant to send back some changes that she is working on in Quickbooks.

JOKE TIME:

Tom finally decides to take a vacation. He books
himself on a Caribbean
cruise and proceeds to have the time of his life -
until the boat sank.

He found himself swept up on the shore of an island
with no other people, no
supplies... Nothing. Only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach
one day when the most
gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to him. In
disbelief, he asks her, "Where
did you come from? How did you get here?"

"I rowed over from the other side of the island,"
she says. "I landed here
when my cruise ship sank."

"Amazing," he says. "You were really lucky to have a
rowboat wash up with
you."

"Oh, this?" replies the woman. "I made the rowboat
out of raw material found
on the island. I whittled the oars from gum tree
branches; I wove the bottom
from palm branches; and the sides and stern came
from a Eucalyptus tree."

"But ... but ... that's impossible," stutters Tom.
"You had no tools or
hardware. How did you manage?"

"Oh, no problem," replies the woman. "On the South
side of the island, there
is a very unusual strata of alluvial rock exposed.
I found if I fired it to
a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into
forgeable ductile iron. I
used that for tools and used the tools to make the
hardware." Tom is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says.

After a few minutes of rowing, she docks the boat
at a small wharf.

As Tom looks onto shore, he nearly falls out of the
boat. Before him is a
stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted
in blue and white. While
the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly
woven hemp rope, he can only
stare ahead, dumbstruck.
As they walk into the house, she says casually,
"It's not much, but I call
it home. Sit down, please. Would you like to have a
drink?"

"No, no thank you," he says, still dazed. "Can't
take any more coconut
juice."

"It's not coconut juice," the woman replies. "I
built a still. How about a
Pina Colada?"

Trying to hide his continued amazement, he accepts,
and they sit down on her
hand-woven couch to talk. After they have exchanged
their stories, the woman
announces, "I'm going to slip into something more
comfortable. Would you
like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor
upstairs in the cabinet in the
bathroom."

No longer questioning anything, Tom goes into the
bathroom. There, in the
cabinet, is a razor made from a bone handle. Two
shells honed to a
hollow-ground edge are fastened on to its end
inside of a swivel mechanism. "WOW! This
woman is amazing," he muses, "what next?"

When he returns, she greets him wearing 'nothing
but vines' strategically
positioned, and smelling faintly of gardenias. She
beckons for him to sit down
next to her.

"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering
closer to him, "We've been
out here for a really long time. I know you've been
lonely. There's something
I'm sure you really feel like doing right now,
something you've been longing
for all these months. You know..."

She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's
hearing!

"You mean;,..." he swallows excitedly, "We can
watch the Packer game from
here?

The only thing that keeps me going where I'm at is the best bennies around - you can't beat the State (at least for now, but I'm sure legislature continues to look at what they can start taking away or increasing).

And while I'm at work. No workout today. Had an 11 hour day - with no lunch and no break..... Need. Food. (And water....) Bleh. I feel brain dead.

Poor Dee, how long do you think it will take for them to hire someone to replace the coworker who quit (and right at xmas too!)?

She announced she was leaving the same day she left.... We won't even advertise the position until May. Interviews will be June and July. Official start date will be August 1st.

that's just plain wrong!

B*tch slap the person! (obviously, you can't, but I can say it!).
