Actually, I started this thread because my post count dropped twenty posts a few days ago (I guess they deleted some old threads). So I’m striking back! 😃 ---

Hi, I’m Wolfman and I have a confession to make, … sniff,sniff snort, … … Ooooookay, … here goes … I’m an Altoid-aholic. I have a 10 tin a week habit. The first thing I do when I wake up is to pop a couple. Driving to work I chain mint. I acutally dream about the pepermint ones so much it wakes me up and I have to go get a few. My breath is so minty fresh I could strip paint. I started off with a tic-tac now and then. next thing I knew I was carrying a roll of Wint-o-green lifesavers, and telling myself I could quit anytime. Now they have taken over my life, I’ve even started dragging friends into my sick little world. A tin in my car, one by TV and one in my office… ---

We have been having a lot of staffing problems at my hospital lately, so we hired a bunch of people to act as technician assistants. They are going through training for the next few weeks. These people have little to no experience in the veterinary field. Today they got a lesson in animal restraint, and one of my cats was used as a teaching aid. My kitty was very good and patient as a bunch of strangers practiced holding him down. ---

[rant] The program manager here is letting our ReadMe go out the door with one use of an apostrophe for pluralization, and one use of “effect” where it should be “affect.” Apparently I’m the only one here (work, not sdmb) who is bothered by this. Grr. [/rant] ---
