Good Wednesday Morning, Crew!

[Clintmax]

:hi::donut:
Welcome to the Hump Day edition of the Early Morning Crew thread! :bounce: I'm sorry about missing yesterday, everybody. I bought a new router the day before and it just would NOT work. I spent two hours on the phone with the Tech Support people and not even they could help me make it work. And plus, I had no access to a computer yesterday. So, I missed the day. And I hated it! x(

Greekspeak left to go on a long cross country trip yesterday, so I have the house all to myself for the next two weeks! I'm kinda jealous of him though because he's going all the way up to New York City (which I've never been to), and then back down the east coast! :bounce: He rode back to Missouri with our friend yesterday and then this morning, he and his dad are leaving out for their cross country trip! :bounce: I'm going to miss him.

How have your last two days been? I hope work hasn't been too crazy for you! I was off, so no stress at ALL on my end! :rofl:

So, are you ready to get this day started with me? Man, it feels good to be here again! :bounce: My day just wasn't the same yesterday. :grouphug: Time to rise and shine, my crew! :woohoo:

2. Good morning.

People missed you yesterday. Don't let this happen again. LOL

[Clintmax]

4. Good Morning, In Transit!

:hi:
Yes, I know they did. I missed everybody too.

[billyskank]

3. Hi Clint!

We felt your absence yesterday. It was a great disturbance in the Lounge. :hi:

[Clintmax]

6. Good Morning, Billy!

:hi::hug:
Yes, I felt it too, believe me! I'm sorry, Man. You doing OK today? :hug:

[billyskank]

13. I'm doing fine, thanks

:hug:

[Clintmax]

14. I'm glad to hear that!

:hug:
I'm doing fine too. I don't really want to go to work today, Man. x(

[billyskank]

15. Awww I'm sorry

I kinda don't mind, because I've only got today and tomorrow left. :woohoo:

:pals:

[Clintmax]

18. Yes, I know you are getting close!

How exciting! :bounce::woohoo: Has the past few days gone by fast or slow for you?

[billyskank]

20. Quite quickly

I have been kept occupied at work, which is nice.

[Clintmax]

21. Yes, it is!

Usually, for me, the days before a vacation are so slow I want to shoot myself. :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

33. Hi billy!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: I sure am glad you rescued us yesterday. :loveya:

[billyskank]

40. AirmensMom!!!

:loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

54. Aw, billy ...

Gettin' ready to go?

[billyskank]

59. ...

:*

Yeah, I've got a list of things I need to take, which I am adding to when I remember. :hug:

For some reason realloc() doesn't seem to work right in MS Visual C++ ! :wtf:

[AirmensMom]

67. You sound so calm about it.

:D :hug:

I can't remember if I ever tried to use realloc() in Visual C++ ... seems like it should work, though. :shrug: (Famous last words, right?)

[billyskank]

72. It works the first time

but any subsequent attempts to reallocate the array fail. It should work, and it does on AIX.

I just ramped up the initial allocation to comfortably hold all the data, and that seems to work... ;)

I guess nobody ever uses realloc() in MS Visual C++. They're probably always doing things the OO way and using new instead.

[AirmensMom]

79. There you go.

:applause: I think you're right about that ... using new instead.

[billyskank]

84. I'm just a stone age C programmer

I don't know about all that new fangled object oriented stuff ;)

Edit: "vi", "cc" and a green screen, that's all I need :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

93. I was, too.

Until they made me learn oo a few years before I stopped working ... which seems like AGES ago.

Green screen? "vi", "cc" ... you lost me. :shrug:

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
:rofl:

[billyskank]

102. Yesterday it worked

Today it is not working
Windows is like that.

:D

cc is the traditional name for the C compiler on Unix systems. Every Unix vendor calls their C compiler something different, but they always point a symlink called "cc" to it so that the old command works.

vi is possibly the least user-friendly text editor in the world. I love it. :)

(Actually ed is even less user-friendly, but at least ed actually makes sense when you imagine operating the computer using a teleprinter console).

[AirmensMom]

111. Yes, that's one of my favorites!

:rofl:

Thanks for the explanation. I can't even remember the name of the text editor we used ... I have a memory like a sieve these days. :rofl:

[wildhorses]

5. mornin' Cap'n

:hi::hug:

we missed you yesterday....I am glad it was only a router. What are you gonna do by yourself for 2 whole weeks?

[Clintmax]

8. Good Morning, Miss WildH!

:hi::hug:
I missed you too, my dear! :hug: I guess I'm just going to work. I haven't made any other plans. :shrug: How are YOU doing?

[wildhorses]

134. I am okay, sorry it took me so long to post back...I was at work

Now I am home. seems like all we do is work...you and me both...too bad we were born good looking instead of rich;)

[Clintmax]

139. LOL! Isn't THAT the truth!

:rofl:
I guess we'll just have to work on the rich part since we have the good looking thing already covered, huh? :rofl:

[wildhorses]

142. hey if you get rich before I do, will you loan me a couple hundred

thousand:silly:

[Clintmax]

You bet I will!

You'd do the same for ME wouldn't you? :silly:

[wildhorses]

159. of course I would

:hug:

[billyskank]

12. Hi wildhorses!

:hi:

[wildhorses]

135. hi billyskank, how is your day going?

:hi::hug:

[billyskank]

152. Pretty good thanks!

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Good morning wildhorses

How are you doing? :hi:

[wildhorses]

138. Hi MissHoneychurch, I am fine and how are you?

:hi::hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

144. I am fine too

counting the weeks ....

:hi:

[wildhorses]

150. til you leave for London??? what is up with that? I have not

kept up with it like I should. How is that man of yours? Did you get a job? Have you posted a pic of him? Does he know how lucky he is to have our MissHoneychurch? Do tell...

[MissHoneychurch]

154. Till I come to the U.S.

London died. He wants a "break" ....

[wildhorses]

157. a break?? well ...I could just break his....

never mind...I will be nice...

that is right I remember now you are coming over here...weren't we discussing the possibilty of meeting somewhere?

when are you coming? How long are you staying? It would be so nice if we could meet...

[MissHoneychurch]

160. Sept. 2nd till 23rd

and it is already planned that Joani and I will meet with you :)

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Good morning Clint

we were all missing you yesterday. Even though I decided to take a sick leave and stayed home. The night before I woke up at 4am, went to the bathroom, had to force myself to stay awake while .... and the second I lay in bed again I was wide awake for the next hour x(
So I pretty much slept all day yesterday, emailed with AirmensMom in between and today it is back to work. In a laundry.

[Clintmax]

9. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
I certainly missed everyone yesterday too! MY mornings aren't the same when I'm not here either. I'm sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday. :hug: You're all better today, right?

[MissHoneychurch]

10. I am fine again

I wasn't really sick, I just needed a day off and I didn't want to take a day off from my vacation time but pssst!!!

I told MissAirmens yesterday: You have enchanted us all with your kindness and sweet manners :hug:

[Clintmax]

11. I want to do that sometimes too.

Just take the day off. I'm glad you got to since you needed it! Awww...you are so sweet! YOU'VE enchanted ME! :hug::loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

51. And you enchanted us

how else is it to explain that we run around like chicken without heads if ywe don't wish us good morning? :rofl:


:loveya:

[Clintmax]

56. LOL! Hey, I did the same thing yesterday.

I guess the best thing to do is be sure we're ALL here every morning so we don't have that problem again, huh? :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

58. Or at least warn the others

if one can't show up :rofl:

[Clintmax]

64. I would have...

but I had no access to a computer yesterday.

[MissHoneychurch]

74. Excuses, excuses

:rofl:















:pals:
:loveya:

[Clintmax]

75. LOL! No, Reasons, Reasons!

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

36. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

You're in a laundry? What's up with that? :shrug:

Did you sleep better last night? :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

43. It is so humid outside

they say it is typical Frankfurt weather ....

Temps: 73°F
Feels Like: 75°F
Dewpoint: 66°F
Barometer: 30.24 in and steady
Wind: NNE 10 mph
Humidity: 78%
Sunrise: 5:29 am
Sunset: 9:32 pm
Visibility: 6.21 mi


I slept better last night, thanks. Even though I slept all day.

Did you get your furniture?

[AirmensMom]

60. 78%? Is that all?

You would positively melt in South FL. :hug: According to weather.com, the humitidy is 93% here, which actually beats FL's 83%! :scared: I haven't been outside yet, though. I'm SURE they got it wrong. Hey, maybe it's going to rain. :shrug:

I'm glad you got some sleep. :hug:

Yep, we got our furniture and I'm sitting in it right now. I LOVE it! I'm going to live in the family room from now on. But it came too late for harleydad to be able to take care of the other stuff he had to do. And we didn't hear from the builder. (What IS it around here ... people say, I'll call tomorrow" and you don't hear from them for weeks! x( )

[MissHoneychurch]

73. Isn't TN a VERY laid back state???

:rofl:


Remember, we talk about GERMANY here. We normally don't get such humidity here. I remember when I was in Louisiana some years ago. I remember the humidity there. I was wearing as few clothes as possible. I just can't come to work in a mini skirt and a tank top :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

77. Oh, yeah!

:rofl: I forgot ... laid back means, "I'll call when I feel like it." :rofl:

Can't go to work in a mini skirt and tank top? I bet everyone there would just LOVE it! :rofl: Yeah, I know you're in Germany ... I was just bustin' your chops. :D :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

83. I am sure there would be some

I just wouldn't feel too comfy myself. With the 10 pounds too much on the scale :rofl:

You know, TN is country. Maybe they missed the drive way to your apt. And got lost on their way :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

88. No one's going to be reading the scale.

Trust me on that ... if you showed up in a tank top and mini skirt. :rofl:

They weren't coming over (and the furniture delivery man found us just fine. :shrug:) They were supposed to CALL ... and they found our number fine on Monday. :shrug: I just have to get used to the way they do things around here. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

94. Did you call them again?

maybe that helps too.

I know how you feel thogh. I HATE waiting for something.

[AirmensMom]

108. No.

One time I got impatient and went over there. She was on the phone with someone important (yeah, more important than me!), and she had a call-back list as long as my arm. I was second on it. I know she gets swamped ... and we sure don't want a builder who's NOT busy! She's probably just still working on the contract. :shrug: No point in bugging her. She knows it has to be done this week while harleydad is here to sign it. (I HOPE!) I just don't like not knowing what's happening.

The landlord is worse, for less reason. She called me about three weeks ago and said she wanted to come over "today" to take pictures of the floor for the owners. So I stayed home all day. Then she called the next day and said, "it'll be today or tomorrow". Never showed. I had to go somewhere, so I called and told her. She said, "Oh, I can't come until Friday or Monday. Definitely then." She still hasn't come, but I told her to call first in any case. She has the impression that she can let herself in any time she wants, with or without notifying us, even if we're not here. I haven't actually spoken to a lawyer about it, but it's my understanding that she has to call first and at least let us know ... unless it's an emergency, like the house is on fire or the water's leaking out of it. I wouldn't care if she did that, but I'm afraid she might let the kitties out accidentally. :scared: I HATE renting! x(

[MissHoneychurch]

110. A landlord is not allowed to let him/herself in

at least not in Germany. And I doubt it very much that that is allowed in the States.

[AirmensMom]

118. We looked it up and it says no here, too.

But we also know she told the maintenance man that he's allowed into any rental unit at any time, and he has a key to all of them. That's why we looked it up! But since it appears that they're both too busy (can't get him over here to fix the bathroom fan), I doubt they'll be showing up unannounced for a while. :shrug: Still ... I sure wouldn't feel comfortable going away for a weekend without changing the locks or something. (I wonder what the rule is on that ... tenants changing the locks on a rental unit? :evilgrin:)

[MissHoneychurch]

126. Good thing that you will have your own house at one point

you gonna be your own landlord and can let yourself in whenever you want :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

129. Yeah, and an alarm to let me know when someone else tries to get in.

And a BIG dog in the yard. :rofl: Although, I have to say, the little dog next door gets the job done. She's a fiery little thing. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

131. You shouldn't get a Golden Retriever

they are too nice and stupid :rofl:

Maybe you should train your kitties :P

[AirmensMom]

143. Wait a minute ...

I had a golden and he was too smart for his own good ... although he sure was nice! :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

151. Exceptions confirm the norm

:rofl:


I have nothing against Golden, I like them a lot - for dogs (I am more of a cat person)

[AirmensMom]

155. Me, too.

He was a great dog ... but he was a dog. :shrug: :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

156. You brought it to the point

:rofl:

I hope harleydad is a cat person also

[AirmensMom]

158. He is.

He wasn't until he got Sabrina ... and now Sashka is his real favorite. But he is NOT a dog person at all. :rofl:

Aaarrgghh! I just got off the phone with the phone company and the FL public service commission. All I want is a correct final bill! :banghead: How can a bill for the full month be $108 and the bill for 8 days be $104? I can see where they got it wrong, but they don't get it! :banghead:

[MissHoneychurch]

161. Interesting counting

I tried something like that with my parents when I was a kid. I always counted like the owe me money - when it was the other way around. Didn't work the way I wanted :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

166. You should work for the phone company.

:rofl:

See, what they did was send a bill in June for the whole month of June (they charge for service in advance). They told me not to pay it, since they would then end up owing me money. This month, they give a credit for the unused local, then a charge for 8 days of internet and long distance, add the negative and positive numbers together, get -$3 and some change, and then calculate it off of June's bill, which never should have been produced! How stupid is that? I've already called the FL public service commission ... which also doesn't work right b/c you have to have a FL address and phone number in order for the automated stuff to work. But at least I got to talk to a person and he hooked me up with the phone company's executive office. If that doesn't work, I'll have to file a complaint. Utilities are the WORST companies to work with. They know they have you by the short hairs and they don't give a crap if they get it right or not. (Most people wouldn't call the PSC.)
:rant:

OK, I'm done ranting. Guess I should get showered and dressed and do all the normal stuff. Harleydad just left on the motorcycle to get it registered and get his TN license. The kitties all went back to bed. And here I am still in my jammies. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

167. Follow the kitties

:)


I hope harleydad doesn't get lost on his way to the registration as you did :hide:

[AirmensMom]

168. Good plan!

:rofl:

Harleydad's going to a different one. The registration place is in the other direction, so he's going to go over there for his license. And I didn't get lost -- I just drove past it and ended up in a ditch. That's different, you know. :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

169. Yes, of course

:rofl:

[Callalily]

89. Morning MissH

Missed you yesterday, but it's good to hear that you took the day off. I like to use sick days up like that too. I call them "mental health" days! Sometimes we just need to sit back and take care of ourselves.

[MissHoneychurch]

92. Exactly

that is what I needed yesterday. I feel better today.

How are you doing today?

[Callalily]

104. I'm really tired

today. Work has been overwhelming and very stressful. There appears to be issues with my boss. Everyone keeps asking me questions, and I don't want to feel like a traitor so I just give ambiguous answers. I feel if they need to know something, they should go straight to him. Just hope that my job is not jeopardized by all of this.

I'm running late this morning, so I've gotta head out of here. You have a great day and be talking to you tomorrow.

[NMMNG]

16. Good morning Clint!

We missed you! :cry: Billyskank even had a thread wondering where you were.

Work has been the same. I'm a bit buzzed on Vicodin at the moment for a migraine I had.


Somebody told me, you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend, that I had in February of last year...

[Clintmax]

17. Good Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I missed you too, my dear! I saw Billy's thread. Miss Airmens sent me a link to it. I hated being away from DU too. x( Sorry you had the migraine! I hate even little headaches...I can't imagine one of THOSE. :scared: Yep! That's the song! :rofl:

[NMMNG]

25. Thanks

Fortunately the second dose of drugs did the trick.

You missed out on the "Motivational Poster" thread of Monday night-Tuesday morning. It was rather fun. Progmom posted a site where you can make your own "motivational poster". Here's one of the ones I made:

[Clintmax]

28. LOL! That's a GOOD one!

:rofl:
What was the site? I'd kinda like to try MY hand at that!

[NMMNG]

37. Here you go

http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/motivator.php

You can use any pic you want and put in any text you want (though there are space limits).

[Clintmax]

46. OK! Thank you!

I'll go take a look and see what I can come up with! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

63. OK...here's my first one:

I dunno...it was just the first thing that came to mind.

[NMMNG]

170. Nice

And true as well. :thumbsup:

[billyskank]

19. Hi Buffy!

That looks like SeattleGirl's band. :hi:

[NMMNG]

26. Hi billyskank

LOL, that's the same band, but SeattleGirl only thinks they're hers. :rofl:

[Minnesota Libra]

22. Good Morning, it's Hump Day, everything gets better from here........

....on out. After today most people :hi: will only have two shifts left before the weekend.:bounce:

Clintmax, you seem to have the worst luck with buying stuff. It wasn't all that long ago that you couldn't get a piece of software to work regardless of how you tried or what you did.:cry: That had to go back and you had a real hassle with a manager returning it as I remember.:spank: Have you ever thought of giving someone else the money and having them buy the item you want?:hug: Just kidding, but I couldn't resist. I've had luck like that at times and I've certainly considered it a time or two.:applause:

Take care everyone:grouphug: and keep at those neocons.

[Clintmax]

23. Good Morning, Minnesota!

:hi:
Yes, I've had some bad luck recently haven't I! :rofl: Stupid technology. x(

[entanglement]

24. Good morning, Clintmax.

I just found out about Syd Barrett's death :cry: :cry: :(

Can you tell me more about your router problem? I might be able to help if it's a configuration issue.

[Clintmax]

27. Good Morning, Entangle!

:hi:
That is a damned shame you know it? Well, I got it all hooked up, and running...it was a Linksys wireless G router...installed the card in Greekspeaks laptop, and the connection was so slow it was stupid. Websites would take up to three minutes to pull up, we couldn't get into our Comcast e-mail and the signal was at a constant 20%. It was that way on my desktop too (which was just connected directly to the router, not wireless). :shrug:

[entanglement]

34. Hmmm

Might be the old MSjava runtime worm, which floods the network with packets. You might want to try the following

Start->Run

In the 'run' box type in

cmd

and press enter

A command prompt should appear.

Type in

jview

and press enter

You should get a message similar to

'jview' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

If you don't, it might be the MS java runtime bug.

[Clintmax]

44. That's the exact message I just got.

So no worm here...we tried many different things, the tech guys and I and nothing worked. It may have to do with how this apartment complex is constructed. Signals have a hard time getting through. When I want to use my cell phone, I have to go outside.

[entanglement]

65. I think I've got it

Must be tinfoil hidden in the walls or sumthin' :evilgrin:

me-> :spank:

[Clintmax]

68. LOL! Hey, tinfoil!

That HAS to be it! :rofl:

[entanglement]

85. LOL

Ok, I've got to grab some breakfast and run...have a great day :hi:

[Clintmax]

86. I hope you have a great day too!

Good to see you today! Thanks for trying to help! :hi:

[terrya]

29. Good morning, Clint!

You certainly were missed here yesterday. The day just wasn't as nice without you here.

I'm very glad you're back. :-)

:hug: :hi:

[Clintmax]

30. Good Morning, Terry!

:hi::hug:
I'm VERY glad to BE back here! My whole day was strange too. I kept feeling like something was wrong all day long. I hate that!

[AirmensMom]

31. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi: :hug:

It sure is good to have you back! I'm sorry you couldn't be here yesterday. Everyone sure did miss you! :grouphug:

Greekspeak is on quite an adventure! We went to NYC once and had a blast. :bounce:

Work has been fine here, thanks. :rofl: Harleydad seems to be getting a lot done and everyone's happy. Let's hope this influences the bosses to let him do it permanently. :bounce:

We got our new family room furniture yesterday. It's SO comfortable! We were able to watch a movie last night (Hidalgo -- VERY good!) and not get sore backs from sitting together on the sofa. :D And I'm sitting in my own me-sized recliner now with my little attached computer table. Ahhhh. Very comfy. :loveya:

[Clintmax]

38. Good Morning, Miss Airmens!

:hi::hug::bounce:
It's SO good to see you too! My whole day was a mess yesterday because I wasn't here. x( I hope that never happens again. I missed everybody here too. Wow! All new Family room furniture! :bounce: That sounds great! Especially that recliner you're in! :bounce: I bet it's wonderful!

[AirmensMom]

52. I hope it doesn't happen again, too.

:scared: At least billyskank was here, so I didn't think the whole morning crew fell off the earth. :loveya:

Yeah, the recliner is great! Actually, the whole sofa reclines too (well, each of the 3 seats does). Harleydad got his own sized recliner, too, and it's bigger than mine. It's just WAY cool. Lumbar support and everything. It was made in Norway. :bounce: Our old backs need good furniture at this point. The only thing is that it doesn't exactly fit in this room right. We bought it to fit the room in the new house, of course. And the other nice thing is that the kitties don't like it ... must be the smell of the leather or something.

So what are your plans today? Going to try another router? We got a wireless router once that was absolute crap. Never did work wirelessly. But the one we have now is great. It's up in the bedroom on the other side of the house and I'm in the basement. We used to have to run ethernet cables all over our house before. x(

[Clintmax]

55. I bet that new furniture is fantastic!

:bounce: I'd love to get new furniture too sometime! I don't have any other plans for today except to go to work this afternoon. The router I bought was a Linksys. I was told it was one of the best on the market. Boy, was THAT ever wrong. x(

[AirmensMom]

62. I think ours is Netgear.

And it was CHEAP, almost free with the rebate. The other one was SMC, which got great reviews at the time, and was expensive. Go figure. I'm sorry you had so much trouble with it. I sure wouldn't buy Linksys again, no matter how good it's SUPPOSED to be. :P

You have to work this afternoon? OMG, I thought today was Tuesday! Aaaarrgghh! This week is going by too fast! :scared:

[Clintmax]

66. I wondered about Netgear.

I've looked at them...but they seemed to be like a generic brand and I don't buy ANYTHING generic. I'll look into them more. Yes, it's Wednesday. Don't you hate it when a day feels like another? :grr:

[AirmensMom]

76. Well, they're good.

You might want to try one.

Yep, I hate that. Normally, it would be the other way around (You mean it's only Wednesday? I thought it was Thursday!). But I want this week to drag by, even though harleydad isn't in the best mood today. :( Scattered T-storms predicted for the rest of the week and he wanted to take the motorcycle out for a spin. x(

[Clintmax]

78. I think I will try that one!

Thanks for the info, my dear! Well, predicted or not...I hope it DOESN'T rain so he can take it for a spin.

[AirmensMom]

81. OK. I hope it works for you!

I'm going to encourage him to go out as soon as he drinks his coffee. I mean, he has to go out during the work day any way you look at it, so he might as well go early. He has to get his TN license and register the motorcycle ... which he COULD do in the car, but would enjoy more on the bike. :shrug:

I have to go get the coffee made, but I'll probably be back in a few. :hi:

[Clintmax]

82. I'll see about keying a no rain order for you.

You know...it worked the other day. :rofl: I just got another cup myself!

[AirmensMom]

96. How silly of me!

:shrug: I completely forgot about your no-rain ordering powers! :rofl: I just told him he should take an early lunch and get out there while he can. That cheered him up. :D

And since he's eating breakfast and drinking coffee at his desk, so am I! :rofl:

[Clintmax]

98. Yeah, see!

I keyed it for you...but since I've had computer problems the past couple of days, we'll just have to see if the order took! :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

114. That explains a lot.

You were probably supposed to key in a pre-order yesterday. :P I hope it took. Harleydad will be mighty cross if he's up here with his "baby" and can't ride it ... and then has to go back without it for who-knows-how-long. :scared:

[Clintmax]

116. Well I didn't think about it yesterday.

I hope it took too! :rofl: Maybe his bosses will see that everything is cool with him working from home there and let him stay up there doing that forever! :bounce:

[AirmensMom]

127. We are hoping that SO much!

There was a guy here the other day ... a cat rescue worker who is trapping a feral tomcat for us ... and he gave harleydad some tips. He used to live up here and work in Sarasota, so he knows all about telecommuting. So far, a bunch of other worker bees have asked him to do things, he's done them, and they've sent thank-you notes to him (copied to his manager) saying how much they appreciated him taking care of it so fast! :loveya: :applause: He does seem to be very focused, but I don't know how he normally is at work. I DO know (manager types ... listen up!) that most people working from home tend to work harder because they're more sensitive to the fact that they're on company time. No visiting with co-workers, chatting around the coffee maker, etc. Just work. :shrug:

It's still not raining, so keep it up. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

133. I hope they're listening too!

Wouldn't THAT be wonderful if he got to stay home?! :bounce: I'll cross my fingers for you both! I'm hoping the command made it to the Weather Modification Net and sticks! You let me know, OK? It's about time for me to get going, my dear. I'm STARVED and it's time for breakfast. I wish I had today off too. x( Tell Mister Harley I said hello and I'll see you again in the morning! :hug::loveya::hi:

[AirmensMom]

153. Yes!

I have to go and fight with Bellsouth about our final bill. x(

See you tomorrow! Have a great day! :loveya: :hug: :hi:

[tjwmason]

32. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

Good to have you back. I hope that you don't get too lonely at home by yourself.

Everythings absolutely wonderful round here. :bounce:

:hug:

[Clintmax]

39. Good Morning, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I'm SO glad to be back too! :bounce: I hope I don't get too lonely either. But, I'll have Tony here with me and he's a lot of company. Still though...a dog doesn't fill in for someone in the bed next to you. I'm glad everything is wonderful where YOU are! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

45. I'm sure that he's much better than nothing

but not quite like your beloved Greekspeak.

Do you have any plans for whilst he's away, or will you mostly be sitting low?

[Clintmax]

48. No, no plans...

Just work, work, work. I don't have another day off until Sunday, so I'll be busy at least for the next 4 days.

[billyskank]

42. Morning mason!

:hi:

[tjwmason]

47. Good morning billy.

Not long left for you over here.

:hi:

[billyskank]

50. No indeed!

This is my penultimate day of work. :)

[tjwmason]

80. That sounds splendid.

Hope that the time passes very swiftly.

[Jamastiene]

35. Good Morning, I've been up all night again

go to class in 2 and a half hours. I'm going to hate myself in the morning, it already is morning, might as well stay up, lol.

[Clintmax]

41. Good Morning, Jamastiene!

:hi:
Yes, I've heard that if you can't get at least 3 hours of sleep, it's best just to stay up. Have you been studying for a test or something?

[Jamastiene]

49. Nah, it's not so bad this semester.

I have art class. We are just painting our final and the worst of it is done, the stenciling. Now all we gotta do is go back and do the painting. It's a group effort. There are some really good ones in the group I am in, so I am not too worried about it. I took a really long nap yesterday, so I shot my sleep schedule out of whack. I'll probably stay up, but I might nap for an hour or two before I go in. I'm not terribly sleepy now, but feeling a little laid back.

[Clintmax]

57. Oh ok...

Well, if you get a chance to take a nap, that would certainly help. Good luck on your final, by the way! :bounce:

[Jamastiene]

61. Thanks...

I don't think this one will be hard at all. I do have psychology stuff to do online, but I'm planning on making a day of it Friday and just catching the last 2 chapters up at once. Nitey night.

[Clintmax]

70. G'night, Jama!

:hi:
Have a good nap!

[sbj405]

69. Morning, Clint!

Glad to see you're back online. We missed you yesterday.

[Clintmax]

71. Good Morning, SBJ!

:hi::hug:
I'm glad too! I missed everybody so much yesterday! How are YOU this morning?

[sbj405]

90. Pretty good, but I don't wanna go to work.

*whine*

[Clintmax]

99. Me either.

:cry:

[Callalily]

87. Good Morning Clint!

As you can tell you were very missed yesterday. Lots of speculation going around. See how popular you are? See how important you are? Quite a responsibility.

I'm running a little late this morning. Lingered too long in bed, and then I remembered it was garbage/recycle day, so I had to get my stuff out on the street! made it just in time.

Did you get your router working? Ah technology . . . can be a real pain sometimes.

[Clintmax]

95. Good Morning, Miss SimplyF!

:hi::hug:
Yes, I know everybody (including me) missed the crew thread yesterday. I'm sorry. No, I never did get the router to work, so I returned it yesterday to CompUSA. I think I might try the Netgear brand next to see how it does.

[Callalily]

100. Good luck with Netgear

Hope it works out for you.

Gotta get my travel mug ready and head out of here. So you have a good day and be talking to you tomorrow.

[Clintmax]

103. Thank you, Simply!

I'll see you in the morning! HAve a great day, my dear! :hug::hi:

[Cannikin]

91. Morning gang. I'm sick as a dog. Wish me well please.

:nopity:

[Clintmax]

97. Good Morning, Cannikin!

:hi::hug:
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, Dude. :hug: I hope you get well AT ONCE!

[Cannikin]

109. Thanks Clintmax! I hope you have a good day.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

113. I hope you do too.

Being sick is no fun. I know. Just stay warm, drink lots of liquids and watch a lot of TV.

[Cannikin]

123. Thats exactly my plan!

[Clintmax]

125. Well good then.

You're all set!

[tjwmason]

101. Good morning Cannikin.

You poor darling. :hug:

Are you going to be off work today? :hug: :loveya:

[Cannikin]

107. It looks that way.

[tjwmason]

112. You take care of yourself,

or I might just have to come over and nurse you myself.

[Cannikin]

120. Dont tease me!

[newyawker99]

105. Good morning DU!

:donut:

117. Good Morning, Miss Mutley!

:hi::hug:
It's good to see you today, my dear! How the heck are you?

[Mutley]

121. I'm doin' okay.

Plugging along. How about you?

[Clintmax]

124. I'm doing fine too.

Wishing I didn't have to go to work today. :grr: Glad to be rid of that stupid router that was a P.O.S.! :rofl:

[Mutley]

130. You've not been having good luck with technology lately.

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

136. No I haven't.

Stupid technology. x( :rofl: Why can't things just WORK, huh? :shrug: Time for me to go, my dear. I'm STARVED!

[Mutley]

145. Have a great day, Clint.

Sorry I couldn't get here earlier. :hug:

[tjwmason]

119. Good morning Mutley.

:hi:

How are you today?

[Mutley]

122. I'm pretty good, TJ.

How about you?

:hi:

[tjwmason]

140. Doing super-splendidly.

:D :hi:

[Mutley]

146. Yay!

edit: Haha, I accidentally had this smilie in there: :9

[billyskank]

149. I am well!

How are you? I missed you yesterday. :hug:


Maybe you were channeling Rogue for a second... :P

[Mutley]

163. I'm doing okay.

I was writing bad fiction for my Writing class yesterday. :blush:

I'm not feeling it lately.

I seem to channel Rogue quite a bit. I think she does it on purpose. :D

[billyskank]

It'll come back to me.

Thanks! :hug:

128. Time to get going, My Crew!

I need to have breakfast, and get a few things done before I have to go to work. I'm glad to be back here with you, and I hope I don't have those problems again! x( Take care of each other and I'll see you all again in the morning! :woohoo::grouphug:

[tjwmason]

137. Have a great day Clint.

:hi: :hug:

[Clintmax]

141. You too, TJ!

I'll talk to you again in the morning! :hug::loveya::hi:

[Fox Mulder]

148. Good morning everyone!

I just got off work and I'm ready to go to bed (within the next couple of hours or so).

Hope everyone has a good day!

[femmocrat]

162. Good morning, Crew! Happy Wednesday!
