Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I hung up at that point. That's kinda weird and disturbing, right? Getting a telemarketing call after visiting a website? Or is that common now?
I'm confident it's just a lie. Like the ones that open "I'm calling about the trouble you're having with your computer." I guess enough people go with it for them to get somewhere with it, but I'm it's just a vague enough lie that it applies to some people.
For anyone who needs to feel better about themselves: I have used up all the data for the 4 phones on our family plan.
That doesn't make me feel better about myself or make me think less of you, msbelle. It just makes me mad at service providers.
Your phone may give you an option to receive a warning when you hit a certain data limit, and/or allow you to cut yourself off if you use more than x amount of data.
Yay for gainful employment, Gud!
Brenda, you might want to think about buying a lottery ticket. Random raise, football, maybe it comes in 3s. Then look into buying Buffista island, please.
Congrats, Gud!
Since i know some of you are WAY more organized than I am (yes, the Wondermark cartoon reminded me): anyone have a particular favorite template for planner pages and calendars to be printed on a 3 x 5 card?
Laura makes a good point, brenda. Respect the streak.
Oooh, what Laura said, brenda.
Congratulations, Gud! Nice to see you, too.
Surprise layoffs today. Not me, but people in my department. Ugh.
Yesterday and today have been layoffs here. They offered voluntary retirement to a bunch of folks last month.
I made it through and most of my team seem to still be here. But my old program manager and contracts manager are gone - one to VR and the other got laid off. Now I'm hearing about a bunch of the accounting folks who are gone - from all levels of that group.
This is only the second time (that I can remember)in 23.5 years that we have had such company wide reductions.
I thought the economy was back?!?!?!?
Retail sales are still soft, and that impacts us a lot. Plus some company specific stuff happened in the last year or two that is catching up to us now.
Man, I feel kind of shaky and terrible. This sucks.
