Btw, don’t shake hands with Dreamer, until she washes her hands. **Wyatt** , might I suggest the following minor edits? _Swishes over to the bar and gracefully plucks a bottle of sarsaparilla out of the ice, wipes it neatly with a lint free towel and pours it reverently into a Judy Garland Collectable Glass_ Did I hear something about naked jigsaws? Who’s got pictures of naked jigsaws? Oh, and have I mentioned that I hate my job? Well, I do. QA: Do you want me to write this up as a bug? Me: No, it’s fixed. It just isn’t installed on your test system, yet. QA: Well, I’m gonna write it up, anyway, so it’s documented. Me: (glaring daggers, grinding teeth, but not _actually_ ripping the spine out of the QA tech, though I wanted to) You asked me a question. My answer was no. Don’t ask me, if you aren’t going to listen! ---

**mipiace** I’VE missed you. Glad to see your back (and all the rest of you) I had barely started posting when you left. I was afraid it was my breath. Seriously glad to see you’re back. **Dave** I do in fact have naked pictures of jigsaws, I even have :eek: disassembled jigsaw pictures (one is even an exploded view!) As for the QA I wish we were big enough to have someone doing that. It’s hard to test your own software, especially on a running system (our test system is pretty limited) and… did I mention that I missed **mipiace** … sorry got distracted… **Simple dreamer** Sorry ‘bout the post scrambling, and making you blush, but, but, but, I was provoked. I DO like word games, and besides to paraphrase someone famous (Oscar Wilde?) I can resist anything but temptation. **Tanookie** I’m sort of interested in what sort of jobs myself… ---

Very good **SGZ** , that quote was Mr. Wilde. 🙂 No need to appologize. Blushing easily has long been a curse of mine. I was tormented mercilessly by boys in HS who _loved_ to make me blush. 🙂 Ya’ll are at least nice and fun about it. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally prophetically grumbled by Davebear \* > **Oh, and have I mentioned that I hate my job? Well, I do.** Problem solved! I no longer have a job to hate. I was laid off, this morning.

**Davebear** Yikes! Sorry about the bad news on the job front. My company is losing money, just had a major management change, and put off stating this quarter’s earnings reporting until this Friday. The rumor is that there will be major staff cut announced at the same time. Tomorrow I may be in the same boat, and I feel your pain. Even if you hate the job being laid off sucks (and not in a good way). Hopefully you’ll be better at finding a new one than I am. I’ve always dreaded the whole job hunting/interviewing process. Ya know both swishing and sashaying are fine, but why not go over the top, and just skip? **Simple dreamer** I’ll have to give some thinght on how to make you blush… Just for future reference you understand 🙂 ---

((( **Dave** ))) That really bites. Sorry. I’m going in to work at my chiro’s office today. Good thoughts/prayers for the office manager would be appreciated. She’s having a rough time and is taking some time off to get away and I’m filling in for her this afternoon. (Is it tacky to take my book to read?) ---

Man, that sucks, **Dave**! Maybe it’ll be a blessing in disquise and you’ll get a better job. 🙂 Good luck to you to **SGZ**. **Dreamer** , it’s only tacky if you finish the page when someone is waiting. ---

Whoa Dave, sorry. I got my RIF notice a couple of ,months ago, remember. I bitch all the time about working for the government but I guess it is good that I am protected because they gave me another job to hate. It is going to be doing even less work than the one I hate doing here but at least I will h av a paycheck coming in. JEsus, this economy really bites. Who elected this guy anyway (sorry for brining politics into our not usually serious little concversation) but seems like we are all loosing jobs or lowering our standard of living…not good!!! Is there anything on the horizon that looks promising for you Dave? ---

Okay as is my terrible habit…I posted and then read…SOOOOOO. Thanks for all the welcoming back and **Rocky** that was a very BIG welcome indeed!!! **White Ink** I could go for chocolate nipple clamps as long as they aren’t tooooo tight or stay on tooooo long…will they? I used to play piano years ago but don’t know about being in a band. I can sing pretty good though…other wise I am not much of a musical talent…maybe I will just be a groupie. I sure did miss you guys. ---

Well maybe you should use some of the profit from your booming business to go buy the crayola 64 pack…will you draw me a fighter pilot? And a biker? And a ladder, no two?
