LOL! I wish it was a S'pore announcement, though not sure how Babydoll would feel about that.

Long and short of it, I've been looking around for a new position since the end of last year. Pretty much knew my current job was on the way out. I interviewed for a couple, one at the end of February and was their candidate of choice, then they put a 'freeze' on hiring. The beginning of April, I got surplus notification, with 60 days to find a new job or quietly walk out the door. Me. Quietly. Can you imagine? Then, the real sleepless nights started. I figured the freeze would get lifted after my off-payroll date, since that's the way my luck usually runs. With about 25 or so days left, either the freeze got lifted, or they got special approval to fill the job, cause I got a call with the job offer this past Friday and faxed in a signed acceptance on Monday. Now I'm moving all my worldly company belongings to another spot in the complex. I'm a nervous wreck in addition to it all. And I have a cut from one of the moving boxes at the base of my index finger that's stinging like a b*tch everytime I move it!

Well, I tried to keep it short. It just didn't work out that way.

Congrats Girly! You'll knock them dead! And, YOU ARE AWAY FROM THE MOUTH.

I took off about a quarter of the side of my thumb on Sunday night. I screamed like a banshee! It's all wrapped up like a thumbkin now and is just starting to heal a bit. I put eyes and a mouth on it.

OUCH!

Not that this has anything to do with anything, but I was on a flight to Vancouver once, surrounded by a bunch of "guys" on their way out for a ski weekend. The blowhard sitting behind me (after cracking some very rude, and very loud, gay jokes) kept talking about how large his thumb was. As we were getting off the plane, I glanced at it, and his thumb was indeed freakishly large.

As luck would have it, this a**hole was sitting across the aisle from me on the return flight. Again, he was rude almost all the way across the country. This time it was all about his freakishly large big toe. And again, the gay jokes. But he also talked about the one night he had gone into Vancouver - alone - for a business meeting. I kept quiet, but my luggage arrived before his did, so as I passed him (and his friends) on my way out I stopped, kissed him and thanked him for a lovely time in Vancouver, and assured him his wife would never know about "our" special night. And then I sailed through the doors and into a cab.

Oh, and I just found these, somewhat apropos, bandaids:

Oh Deet - you are BRILLIANT!

Good morning everyone.

Boobs - Vietnamese spring rolls are delicious. In fact, most Vietnamese food is. It's my favorite of all Asian cuisines.


Now back to work. You know I'm actually getting used to not having a PC at home. It's amazing how much you can get done when you don't have one of those things around.

I want those bandaids.

Hiya Mamie!

Hi Mamie!

Mornin', all!

Congrats, Girly! Geez, and I thought Tink kept things close to the vest, but I'm glad it all worked out for you.

Deet is such a badass!

Hello Adults....Unusual to be here this AM but I am in the library "supervising" a marketing class doing a research project. Luckily they don't need much attention therefore I can play a little. Can't wait for summer! Three weeks and two half days and then I can really play.

Girly - Glad to hear about your job situation..looking for one is not fun.

D2 - That is a very funny story!

While reading back a little I discovered what might be a good time for me to try to come to NY. Seems like DY is a great idea for July. Hopefully that date will work out for me. I need to see some shows!!!

Good morning adults!

Morning Tink and Shamey...Yes, it has been too long and I need a good party and with you guys there how could it not be!

[MotorTink]

Posted: 5/15/08 at 8:47am

As long as Jaily or I aren't bartending you should be just fine, or so I am told.

[shameless]

Posted: 5/15/08 at 8:51am

Or as long as you can keep track of your own drink count. I may to tie strings around my fingers next time.

Mornin', Sunshine!

Well, I haven't been "bad" in awhile so I'm due. I have been planning on coming to New York sometime this summer so it would be great to coordinate dates to see some "old" friends and meet some new ones and see some shows of course!

Hi Mamie - When is your next NY trip?

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 5/15/08 at 8:52am

Baddy! Great to see you!

'Morning to all the regulars here as well!

Moony, Shames and Boobsie ... apparently our doo don't stink.

Hey Moony & Soapy!

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 5/15/08 at 8:55am

Hi Moony - Are you included in the July party? Do you have to work all summer or do you get some time off?

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 5/15/08 at 8:55am

Kudos to you, SOMMS, for choosing it in the first place.
