I was a little tired, so I stayed home and cleaned. Dogs and cats live like animals. ---

Yeah, I slept pretty well, too. We’ve got two lunches today so I’m going in a little bit later than usual. The pups are going to get groomed today. When they are done I’ll pick them up and transport them home. Then, I’ll finally make it to TVLand. ---

Feel better soon, **LiLi**! I have been chasing tutors around this morning, so far I’ve tracked down all but two of them so things are going quite well so far. Busy day though, and only a week to go before project reservation deadline too. This weekend is going to involve lots of cooking for me, it’s time to make the hexmas cake and I plan to get some sweet mincemeat made too. ---

Happy **FIRDAY**!!! Up and half-caffeinated here. Gotta have another cup, cause the first one only got half drunk. 😃 BTW, the Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is da bomb–that stuff is good coffee. 🙂 I’m also having fruit and plain yogurt this morning–good brekkie. Oh and **DogButler** - yeah, dogs and cats live like animals. 🙂 And we’re the servants. 😉 Hope everyone enjoys their Firday.🙂 ---

Happy Firday!!! It’s always so quiet on my working Friday… My cube neighbor has today off, thank Og. He asks so many questions! Which he’s supposed to do, but still - it gets on my nerves sometimes! I’m glad for the break. Maybe I’ll get some work done. 😃 I woke up with reflux around 3:30 this morning. That’ll teach me to eat Cheetos so late at night. My stomach still feels bloated and icky. But it’s Firday!!! And it’s gonna be beautiful today! ---

Blurf[sup] **3** [/sup] I took a 1 AM ambulance call. Got back home 3ish, and I shut off the alarm clock before I went back to bed. Firday sucks when it starts 2 hours late… ---

It sounds like lots of folks are off to a rough start this morning. Hope everyone gets better! So **swampy** , can you tell me all about how to use my new iPhone? 😃 It’s a good Friday morning here. I’ve got 1 load of laundry washed and on drying racks and a second in the washer (to be dried at lunch time) and I went to the gym. Boss is out all day and Manager’s out at noon. And we’re getting our last two new blinds installed today! Yay! ---

Happy Firday everyone! **swampus** , sleeping in class? That’s a new one. I see that the latest crop of wireless CSCs are managing to put my generation to shame, which is saying a lot, because the class I trained with back in the day were a bunch of slack-jawed dumbasses. On the bright side, I bet you’ll have plenty of entertaining calls to listen to once you’re doing QA. 🙂 Sorry you’re feeling under the weather, **LiLi**. Feel better soon. {{ **rigs** }} Hope today is going better for you. ---

Ahhhhhh, blessed Firday! Not a moment too soon, either. Just got the first installment of Italy photos. They are all from Milan. Here’s a little [teaser](http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd229/mcdermom/Italy/2945357667_e3e087f7f1.jpg). The floor mosaic is of a bull and it’s good luck to spin on his yarbles. **li-li** , feel better soon. Get some rest, **rigs**. You, too, **doggio**. Sounds like something didn’t agree with **bernie**. Also sounds like daughter’s cat didn’t agree with the carpeting. Not much you can do but totally replace it now. ☹ Is it quit-o-clock yet?

[QUOTE=swampbear] OOOOOOOH! Two people got walked out of training today and right out the door! One for surfin’ instead of going through on-line training modules and tests and the other for fallin’ asleep. I do mean _asleep_! As in rared back in the chair, mouth opened, snorin’! I sit all the way across the room and I heard her snore! :eek: Anywho, both incidents happened yesterday and this mornin’ they got walked out. Literally. To their vehicles. [/QUOTE] I was about to ask you how bad the churn rate was like there. Before we built a system to automate creation of user IDs for bank tellers, I’d see a lot of “User left at lunch and didn’t come back” or variations on how they simply never showed up on their first day in ID delete requests. Oh no! Oh woe! Long-time radio personality Dave Morey is leaving KFOG after 26 years and he’s moving to Michigan. I’m sure you’re all like “Who?” but Dave is an icon around here - 26 years with one company is remarkable in its own right, but it’s even more so in radio. Meanwhile, my back has been \*killing \*me - apparently, muscles around my lumbar region are locked up and nerves are getting crunched between bones. It’s been like this for a week. My chiropractor says the bones are all in the right alignments - just too close together. If this goes on much longer, I may have to go see my regular doctor and have him turf me over to an orthopod or whoever can slip a little lidocaine into the trigger points. ---
