Funny Jello makes me think of wrestling, I mean what else are you going to do with 500 packets of green jello? Dixie, I know your gears are turning a million miles an hour

Thats progress, hope you are feeling 100%, cause frankly, you're a lot more fun that way

I'll just go now.

Oh, I know you did. But this is the Vent and Rant thread, and if things get too nice, we might get the smackdown. Or Dixie will squeeze us, and I'm no angel.

Desperately (did I spell that correctly?) trying to concentrate on learning CSS code. But I find my mind wandering and thinking about what is happening in MR.

Naughty SS pay attention to your studies, now span is different to div because.

This one hour lession is taking 3 hours because I kept finding other things to do like help bloke with the bike rack. Get lunch (hmm warmed up leftover Rogan Josh) and going back to the kitchen every 5 minutes to get 2 grapes.

maybe I would concentrate better with a nice cup of Jasmine tea!

Why don't you just phone in each day?

Mortis · 04-21-2011, 12:25 AM

That's a pretty good idea, the boss wouldn't even know he's in California

Although it might be a little difficult to manage the company if I never go in

Congrats, Mortis

My rant: why do I wake up 2 or 3 times every night? Is't so annoying.

Don't drink so much in the hours before bed!

@ Mortis. Congratulations for your job!

PS, I get the impression that it is about talking, right?

Hahaha - That's funny beppe; Congratulations Mortis. A change is as good as a holiday I say, and when I changed jobs I kept telling the boss that I was on holidays. She just shakes her head and smiles. Have a good holiday Mortis.

Edit: I forgot to have a rant.
Don't ya' just hate it when a public holiday backs up on the 4 day Easter break and extends it out to five days off?

Mortis,

I am really very happy for you.

Congratulations and Mazel Tov.

Damn I'm on call and totally missed phone calls and alerts last night.

Looks like everything is working so hope I'm not in big trouble....

Now why would you get that impression, are you suggesting that I perhaps talk to much?

Its actually teaching local call center agents to sound more like Americans.

Thanks Wannabee, it is good to know the pay cheques won't be signed by myself anymore, I'm over the stress of finding contracts here.

Kenny, do you have plausible deniability? I had a guy that would always have phone troubles when he was on call, it got old very fast since I was the backup to all the SCR's
