Hey Gals!
I've been checking in here & there but haven't posted for a few days. I'm burning some cd's now for my mom so I thought I'd pop in. I guess it's been since Tuesday since I've written- wow. Anyway, I got through that "rush project" at work, but I found out that I have another one waiting for me most likely this upcoming week and the following.....just in time to throw off my trying-to-catch-up-before-vacation strategy. I *think* I'll make it, but I really don't like the next project- it's similar to one I had to do around July, I think. What makes me not like it (and really the only thing) is that I don't have the adequate training to do it, and very few others do either. The one person who knows them well is difficult to approach (Ms. Negative Attitude)...so....we're supposed to get 'training' but we'll see. I'm so lost on those types of policies that it's not even funny. I've got about 18 of them, so I *guess* it's not bad- there's about 200 all told, I think.
I got my scanner installed to my new laptop today- I found out though, that it wasn't compatible with Windows XP- but I think it will still work ok until I eventually get a new one. It's finally cooled off here- in fact, I don't know if ya'll caught Fox Report today, but they were showing hail in Marin City and mentioned 'near the Golden Gate Bridge'. Marin City is on the other side of 101 from Sausalito for those of you gals who are familiar with the area. It was really weird because they showed the tunnel we drive through every day, it's just north of the Golden Gate. It looked like it snowed- it was so odd. That was obviously after we'd gone through there on Friday (we leave early-like 6 AM to go to work). I saw Greg and Todd on today- it's nice to see Greg on again; my faves are still 'Tricky' and Hot Toddie though.
Jayel- No ratings for Shep or Brit?!? That can't be good. And what's with Larry King gaining on O'Reilly? Hopefully it's just a minor setback. Missed the Rick & Shep bit on Studio B this week- I didn't set the VCR all week now that I think about it... Thanks for sharing the Roger Ailes and B & C interview, I found that really interesting! I think we need him at our company; our turnover has been extremely high this past year. Let's just say that for a long time, there weren't too many employee ID numbers above mine (mine's 300); now there are nearly 40 higher than that. Out of the 5 people that interviewed me for the job in 12/2000, only one is still there. I'd *love* to work for a high morale and low turnover rate place.....is Fox hiring?? LOL, just kidding! LOL at the 'mistakes'- yep, those would be doosies (sp?).
Leslie- LOL, you know the sad thing is that our systems (the computers) are practically brand new- but whomever made the choice for the data system we're using ought to be fired (assuming they haven't already left the company). I can only imagine how much life insurance that guy (Geraldo) has- with all the places they send him. Ironically enough I used to work in the life ins. industry before going to med. mal. ins. And before that....don't ask, lol! On a more serious note, I haven't heard from Jen lately and we were emailing back & forth for the last couple of weeks. I'm worried about her; I sent an email earlier or middle of this past week and haven't heard back. I hope that she's hanging in there, and she'll definitely be in my prayers too. Your weather sounds like ours- we went from 90 on Sunday/Monday to 50s & 60s by Weds. When's your birthday? From what you said, you must have one coming up too (mine's in a couple of weeks & Jayel's is next week if I'm not mistaken). The more I think about it, the more I think our parents were crazy for letting us go out at night trick or treating. I can't say that I'd let my kids go out alone- even when they're 12 or 13. Where *is* Jan??? She hasn't posted in ages- about as long as it's been for Melissa! Time to send out Dog after them! ;-) LMAO about the Garfield t-shirt- I think I had that mini poster! I always liked the "have a nice day" one where he has half of the smiley face in his mouth, ears laid back, and the other half of the smiley on the ground, LOL. Girlie, what have you been *up* to anyway?? Getting kicked off websites and what was in your E-mailbox?? We've gotta chat one of these days on AIM! ;-)
Teri- Girl, I think you outposted me this week, LOL! I'm still holding out for a book about the Fox News embed experience. There's *got* to be one one of these days, right? Got the care package! : ) I'm working on the cds tonight- I think there'll be about 4. Let me know how you like 'em and I can always do some others. Hope the cats survived the 'putting up of the feet', LOL! ;-P Amen to what you said about the environmentalists not wanting to thin out the forests.....that was the problem last year in AZ too when they had that huge fire. Clearing out has to be done- if we don't, nature will. And as we know...mother nature is not so nice sometimes. You got rain?? I'm jealous! LOL!!
Denise- Isn't it nice to be ahead of the game?? I'm *almost* there....so close I can smell it. I just hope that I *do* get there, but I also know things eventually work out in the end so I try to keep that in mind too. Brokers are the absolute pits. I hear ya loud & clear on *that* one....don't let them get you down. God knows they aren't the most patient people in the world. I'm *still* feeling the time change, lol! Hope your team won the decorating contest! ;-)
Sherry-I'd definitely say that the others have to get frustrated with Geraldo ahem....butting in (to put it nicely, I guess, huh!). Yep- the getting dark early throws me off- it's like I'm getting short changed on the day, but it also tells me autumn is here and winter's around the corner- my favorite times of the year.
Nan- It sounds like the fires may be bothering your asthma and/or allergies a bit? I would think it would be. Anytime there's a fire around here it always seems to affect my asthma. They were saying that the smoke is all the way in El Paso now- that people are needing to drive with their headlights on. I like the 'underheight' idea- I'm 5'3". The inhaler has cut your appetite? Which inhaler is it? I'm just curious. I have an albuterol one but they had given me a different one to use alternately with the albuterol when I had that nasty chest infection in '01. I forget now what that one was. Ouch- knee surgery- hope Kim has a speedy recovery! That's good that at least you know what to expect with the right knee. I think what gets on my nerves with Geraldo is that he is just too overdramatic sometimes. There's putting feeling into the story, but when he does too much it kills all the emotion of it for me. Our prayers are with you too! :-) What happened with the lawyer & the client was just *too* strange. *happy dance for sweater weather* YAY! I know what you mean! LOL- "equal opportunity hottie watcher"- I love it! ;-)
Ellen- Unfortunately I think we've all lost our posts- it's such a bad feeling. I'm sorry you experienced that too! :-( Congrats on getting the new laptop! Have fun learning- as the saying goes (uh, I think it goes...) the journey is half the fun. Jamie sounds like a great help and friend. :-) We're happy to see you posting again- the split screen is *wonderful*- especially when you haven't had it before. Makes it a lot easier to respond to posts. Your faves are the same as mine- Rick & Todd :-) Hopefully we'll see more of them; they had me spoiled last weekend, LOL!
I *think* that catches me up. Hope ya'll are having great weekends! Jen, Jan, Melissa, & any others I've unintentionally left out- I hope you're doing OK- drop us a line here so we know you are & what you've been up to.
