Oh, yeah. Cute eyes. Soooo sweet.

Just remember, "cats are sharp on five out of six ends" (Calvin), and chiffon skirts are tender everywhere....

Bloke has moved the cat to another room under the fan. They are watching TV together and the skirt is safe now

he is pretty good with not ripping stuff up. We were warned that cats like to scratch leather couches, but he is a very good boy with the couch. He is allowed to rip up the rumble chair (an old office chair with wool upholstery) and he sticks to this for taking out his frustrations. If you leave a towell on the floor that will cop it too. Most other things are safe.

Trying to determine what my next book to read will be. Having a hard time with it.

Waiting for steaming bowl of thai noodles w/chicken and veggies to cool down before I try to eat it.

Righto.

Who is going to help me to figure out how to get a snippet from various posts, when commenting on same?

Being stupid is an art too you know.

Cheers

First off, you're NOT stupid. And secondly, do you mean multiquote? If so, it's the second from the last button on the lower right of the message window you're quoting from. To snip within quotes, just delete the part you're not interested in replying to. Make sure though, that the QUOTE tags remain.

ok, so there is the quote button to the immediate right but still in the box, just next to it is a button that looks like it has stacked papers. that's the multiquote. it can take you through several pages even!

Thanks all.

Unfortunately, Kenny, I am in Germany regularly as part of my current role (a few days every fortnight) so I haven't flown over specially for these meetings. Our MD and HR Director are both based full time in Germany (one is a German, the other is British).

Meeting with MD is 2:30pm today (German time).

I'll keep my fingers crossed as well ! I know how much it sucks not being sure whether you'll still have a job in the nearby future. Good luck !

Multiquote......that's the word that I was looking for.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Do you know I often wondered what that was for?

Waiting to join another conference call, 2nd of the day, with folks back in the UK. Luckily for them it is 9am local time, but sadly for me it is 5pm local time so stuck in the office until at least 6pm.....will have to console myself with a pint of Tsing Tao methinks.

Bilbo,

I have just read through this.

I wish you everything of the best, and keep you in my thoughts.

Cheers

I only learned about it last week. And now I have to figure out the 'spoiler' thing.
BTW, Nohmi, did I get you a drink? I thought you might like a Tequilla Sunrise and a few of worlds best chocolates: Viennese Mozartkugeln.
Cheers!
