We are closing at noon! But I am still here!

I love this company. The Global Chief Communications Officer just dropped by to personally make sure everyone got the message that she wants us to close up shop at noon instead of three. And if your workload won't allow, to make sure we all know she wants us to take that half day some other time.

Moved from F2F:

Books, I have books! A book on condo buying, and some slashy sci fi, and some regular sci fi, and a new copy of Lost in the Grooves 'cause I gave mine away. Also plus, Hard Core Logo dvd to replace my aging video tape. Whoot! I have made a sizeable dent in my save-for-later shopping cart and felt the need to share.

And ha! Somebody already stopped by my desk to check out Grooves.

And if your workload won't allow, to make sure we all know she wants us to take that half day some other time.

Now THAT's sweet.

Seriously. That's a new one on me all right.

I bet everyone but tech support is gone by noon from here. And the IT guys who are moving their department over to our building from a building that's getting knocked down next week.

she wants us to take that half day some other time

Yes, that totally rocks. But the true test is--if you took today off, do you get the half day too somewhere else too?

Okay, I'm kidding. That's a solid deal as is.

Girl calls for police help over messy room

A nine-year-old German girl was so upset about having to tidy her room she put up a sign in her window urging passers-by to call police for help.

Pedestrians in the central city of Braunschweig saw the girl crying in the window, holding up a sign up saying "Help! Please call the police!" Next to her sat a small boy.

Quickly alerted, officers rushed to the scene to discover the girl had rowed with her mother about tidying her room and enlisted her two-year-old brother's aid to attract attention.

"The room looked like a battlefield," said a spokesman for local police on Monday. "Officers told the girl to tidy her room. When they came back two hours later to check, it was all cleaned up. And the mother and daughter had made up too."

Somehow it doesn't seem right that the police came back to make sure she cleaned her room. But that's kinda' cool too.

So if you're not supposed to be fired for indulging your sex obsession at work by gratifying yourself online, what shouls your employers do?

I think it's way cool when plane crash survivors are found.

Jamaicans seem to get a finger in every pie, even the nasty ones.

And with that, I should get breakfast.

Ha ha, I love it when people call me and ask for answers as if I have any authority to make decisions here whatsoever.
