Oh really??? If you are an angel, then I am....

Salma!!! HA! You wish!
But I really am an angel...really!! ask my mom!!!!

Thanks for the link! Started reading it with this look on my face. . I'll have to come back to it, though. Hubby's finally home!!!

You're much too nice a person to have me do that. Now Len on the other hand....
*runs off to stock up on holy water just in case his sister Len is around*

My AOS interview has been booked for April 30- 6 weeks before our 2nd Anniversary. I was hoping it would move a little slower. I know I shouldn't complain- so far our process has been moving along but it would be so nice not to have to deal with removing conditions in 2 years.

It's a double edged sword MissStacey! I know you wanted your interview after your 2nd anniversary, at the same time, I'm glad you got your interview! Sounds weird, I know. You know what I'd do? I'd ask the person at the interview if it's possible they could "officially" approve it, after your two year anniversary. The only thing they could say is "no". I'd do this AFTER you know you're approved at the interview however. I seem to remember some time ago (like a year??) where someone went to their interview and wanted it to have been a 10 year, after their 2 year anniversary, and that's what they ended up getting in the mail. There was some discussion around if they should send it back and tell them their mistake, but I think the OP opted to just keep the card.

Is there a chance that you could be held up in namecheck? It always happens to the K-1's.

So I got a letter today from HBC - because I am such a valued customer (aww shucks) they are going to 'upgrade' my HBC card (which I rarely use - except when I get some discount or something) to a Mastercard. I can opt out if I want to.

So I think - may as well just cancel the card. I call and say - you know, just cancel it thanks - so we go through all the name, birthdate etc etc verification and then she says, "Let me just review the features of the card for you".

I asked her to repeat that - So she does. I said "why are we going to review the features when I am cancelling the card". She says ok and cancels it etc etc.

I think the matrix is out of order in the HBC/Mastercard phone center today.

Kinda like when they f up your phone connection and you call their service department on your cellphone because you have no land line so you're using all your minutes because they have you on hold for hours and when you're finally transferred around and around and around until you get someone who knows what they're talking about only to find out that they can't help you and then they say "Is there anything else I can do for you?" before they transfer you somewhere else and you say "No. I think you've done quite enough, thank you."

Yes!!

Which reminded me, my sister uses VOIP through time warner and her phone was out last Friday. So on Saturday she had me call the service people and the guy says the error usually indicates a fried phone wire connection - have her run to the store and buy a new one, then call back before 4:30 if it doesn't work and we will get someone out there today.

FFWD to the next phone call (I knew he was just guessing - he was eating his lunch the whole time and probably wanted to finish that up).

They will send someone out on Tuesday - well what happened to Mack and getting someone out today - umm can't find him (I said he probably finished his lunch).

Anyway, the guy then says to me, we will send someone out Tuesday - can we call her before we come out

Its my last day at work today....Woooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh congratulations G&A, that's BIG!!!!

I've got to stop reading this stuff. I'm getting ticked. lol


WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting!!!!!

WHATEVERRRRRRRR.....

Why do companies insist that you punch in your account number before they'll talk to you only to have the person on the other end of the phone ask for your account number straight off the bat?

I really hate that, almost as much as I hate handsome Tom Brady.

I am all emotional lately.. think it's b/c my birthday is coming up although I can't understand why.
I just started crying when Oliver asked me what kind of cake I liked b/c his mom will make it for me when we go to PA on monday..
and I was so frustrated cuz I was trying to explain it to him but since I don't really know my cakes.. all i could say was lots of icing and fruit especially strawberries...

yay for feb 8th

Awww Liz, sounds like you have a case of homesickness! I don't really know what helps with that, but I hope you feel more cheerful soon.

Sweet babe!!! You so have a case of homesickness!!!! I know only too well how the first birthday abroad feels like, and it's not pretty. We love you though, and would eat whichever cake in a Seattle minute!!!!
{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

HATE IS POISON

THAT drives me crazy!!!!

Awww, Liz. I feel for ya. It's definitely homesickness. ((((((BIG HUGS))))))) You need Karaoke Kat....

HITLER REVISITED!!!!

Liz, we're here for you. If laughter is the best medicine, then we'll have to make you laugh. That'll cure you of your homesickness. Karaoke Kat is ready. *IR5 runs off to tighten his Borscht belt*

Oh no.... remember last time you did that? Karaoke with Belt???? It got nasty man and you got arrested...... nope - better bring out the duckie outfit.

Duck that!!! I don't care what anyone says, it should be legal for a man to show his dickie in public.

My office just installed a new internet gateway that bans VJ!

Guess I will actually have to work at work from now on.

I was wondering where ya had been!!!

Yeah, that scream from Fairfax, VA that was heard at about 8:45am this morning was me.

I think it went something like, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

No VJ.
No AOL
No Yahoo
No Facebook, MySpace, etc.
No games

No fun, I tell ya!

so what did ya do at the museum?? play with the army characters??

Actual work! Changed light bulbs, rebooted computers, dealt with researcher questions, processed loan agreements, accessioned new objects, supervised 1 part-timer and 1 volunteer, etc.

Probably helped that my boss called in sick today, because I was so busy doing all my work plus his that I didn't have time to get on VJ even if I could have.

But wait til he comes in on Monday and finds out that he can't get on his favorite forum!

Have to insert one of Charles' pics here......

I worked in this place once (Cantax - tax software - they moved to Quebec, in case anyone is looking for work in Quebec just a heads up that you don't want to work there!).

Anyway, there was a very high handed, I am the God of technology IT person. Not only did they monitor internet usage, they read email, even confronted someone with one of them once.

I also worked doing payroll at the Port O' Call Inn near the airport here once (it has a new owner from what I hear). The 'manager' was the owner's daughter. The office was silent, no one spoke - there was no - 'hey what are you doing this weekend' - come to find out (as she showed me) the 'manager' video taped the office, she had a monitor in her cabinet. We are talking about an office of like 4 people. She also sent out a memo once stating that there was to be no social chat in the office.

I think I worked there for 6 weeks, maybe 8.

I just nominated you for sainthood. Port O'Call sounds more like Port-o-let. The IT guy? By any chance was his name Nick Burns.
Nick Burns

lol - not quite but he had the same stagger!

And port-o-let is probably more appropriate. I think I stayed there for 2 months because she thought I was her 'buddy'. She would share her lunch with me, also assume that is why she showed me her secret monitor.

Decided I didn't want to conspire with the enemy, even though the lunch she brought in was pretty nice

Peepz- this Por-a-something made me realize I had not shared with you all a valuable piece of information about lovely Seattle. Do you know how they call the port-a-potties for public usage??????

HONEY BUCKET.

Is it just me or that's just gross? OR maybe my brother IR5 owns the darn company and decided to put in a bit of his really sick sense of humour????

hehehhee

hehehhee

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

MY EYES, MY EYES!!!!!

Sis, you know I'm into all forms of scatology. Cleveland steamers, Pittsburgh platters, Dirty Sanchez, you name it, I'm into it. I'm a coprophage and that's how I roll.

I named it Honey Bucket for one reason; all those people drinking all that Starbucks crap with all the sugar thrown in. Can you say, instant diabetes. Actually the old test for detecting diabetes mellitus was to taste the urine of the patient. It smells sweet and diabetes mellitus literally means sweet urine. Nawww, I'm just kidding I'm really into fecalphilia, no wonder nobody wants to shake my hand.

Brother ----- repeat after me:

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.


Rinse, puke, repeat once more:

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.
FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS.

The best name I ever saw for a porto-potty was somewhere in the Nevada desert---it was called the Pee-Pee Teepee!

There is an Australian movie about a guy who runs a porto-potty rental company. The description of it in the Qantas in-flight magazine made it sound a lot more entertaining than it was. I'd love to use the 13-hour flight as an excuse, but I think I was just gullible.

VENT: Me and my amigos from the Latin American forum have been having the time of our lives in a funky thread that started yesterday. We are just being goofballs, laughing, having a good time. Lo and behold, we get folks that INSIST we are talking about RACE (talk about paranoia ).--- JESUSFKINGCHRIST. Get a grip and buy a dictionary for pete's sake. --- or stay away from threads in a language you cannot read. ARGHHHHHHH.
