No kidding!! I remember playing a lot of free cell, at one point...
Yep. Or solitaire.
I got really good at hitting Alt-Tab very quickly back then.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

On another note entirely - pomegranate seeds in spinach salad, does that sound good? Does the presence of blue cheese make a difference to your answer?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Why is it that whenever I go to the post office, I'm behind people who aren't familiar with mail? There was one woman who handed the clerk a pile of things to find out what it would cost to mail them, then occupied about a quarter of a tiny post office stuffing piles of things into about 10 priority envelopes. Another woman handed the clerk a letter and an envelope. The clerk handed them back and told her to put the letter in the envelope. Then she was trying to seal the envelope by licking her finger and then wetting the glue, until the clerk couldn't stand it anymore and took it away from her.
I could not do that job.

Not annoyed enough to say it twice.

My boss complains about that. He was once stuck behind someone who did not address the package he was trying to mail because he had no idea how to do it.

Because books.
I worked in publishing before the internet, and there was *always* a manuscript to read. Or a book I wanted to read, hidden behind a manuscript. I do remember a lot of talking and laughing with coworkers, though.

I was once in the post office behind someone who had a box they were mailing. Somehow, they put the "to" address in small letters in the upper left hand corner and the "from" in larger letters in the center. There was also the time I was behind some people who were - as far as I could tell - sending their entire library to Hawaii. They literally brought in a handtruck piled high with boxes of books.

You think people know how to function at the post office less since e-mail?

I think we all need this - or something like it.

Pretty sure that's not legal, Suzi.
I'm salaried non-exempt. It is legal. If I worked on overhead projects and had OT, the OT would be reduced by the OH hours, but not below the 80 hour pay period.
Pomogranete seeds, spinach, and blue cheese? NOM!
I've been lucky (and now I've jinxed myself) that my local post office has been pretty quick and efficient when I've had to stand in line.
