    Yes, I'm in. Just have to wait till the director comes back from vacation. He's the one who has to go to bat for the jobs in that area. We're the big $$$ maker of the place. We tend to have less obstacles when it comes to hiring who we need. It will happen. It's just delayed a bit. I'm okay. I like the people I work with currently and will miss them a lot. I have no problem hanging a bit longer.


    But yeah, it does suck, doesn't it? WTF? Lol. *shrugs*

    Dear eBay seller:
    The rear derailleur you sold me is not a new take off. It is filthy, the pulleys have grease buildup on them, and there's even a scratch or two. Perhaps it is a take off from a prototype test bike. At least it doesn't seem to be worn.
    Luckily I'll be using it with a 15 year old group set, so an "experienced" part isn't out of place.

    to whom it may concern (you know who you are)
    written procedures REALLY work. Then someone else can help you out without having to ask you a dozen questions AND reinvent the wheel. You might try it sometime.

    Mimi, that sounds like Dh's #1 complaint from work (at the Lazy B)

    Solicitors will be eaten. I like that. With a chianti and fava beans, even.

    Get your husband to answer the door naked a couple times for them and try to encourage them to stay. They will never return, I promise you. (I think they have some kind of problem with that...)
