You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Ah. Our Internet is just plain down. I could still use websites I was already connected to, but once I disconnect then it's all over. Guess I'll stick with The Gap for now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

And it is done and over and he is gone and no drama at all. Thank dog. I work on a truck yard and offices are a trailer, so no building security. It's Texas. All these guys have guns. Many of them make bad impulsive decisions, so I do get on edge when there is an issue. Now I'll be coming down from the being wound upness of it all.

Scary, msbelle!

Yay for figuring it out Gud, even if the answer is "argh, no interwebs!"

Yall, wish me lots and lots of luck and smooth talking from about 815 to 11 my time? I've got an internal interview, am wicked nervous, and afraid they'll be all "you have skillz but try again next time we post this job". Aaaah!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Today's conference-call meeting dissolved into people talking over each other and yelling questions within five minutes, because my boss raised a point that had nothing to do with the matter at hand. The presenter tried desperately to get it under control and assure everyone that this had nothing to do with what was happening, but now everyone is confused and we've spent fifteen minutes answering questions that have zip to do with what we're actually talking about. I often feel like I work with a bunch of drunken teenagers.

Glad it's all over msbelle.

Our Internet problem turns out that nobody paid the bill. This company has revenues of $50 billion and the bill wasn't paid.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm glad it happened with no drama, msbelle. No one needs that kind of excitement.

Good luck, meara.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, msbelle!

Good luck, meara!

That's classic, Gud. Thank goodness for the Gap!

I have to write performance reviews, and I don't wanna. They are both going to be so good! It's just a PITA and can't I just say, "You're great; carry on"??
