Thanks though.

If you need cover from the misses, do like I did and tell the wife it's a monetary incentive to stay away from cigarettes! With the money you save from not smoking, I'm sure you can afford it!

happy_terd · 04-01-2010, 09:57 AM

But I started smoking again last week.

just kidding man. I think I will text my vacationing wife and tell her that today for Apr 1st.

Oh, I see. I caught you between edits!

They have several other sites of interest:

http://www.davincikits.com/
http://www.shotblade.com/
http://www.bridgesandtowers.com/

Not sure if your company's web filters will block them.

Listening to Rhapsody in Blue on the radio and watching pandalols dancing to it - they're keeping pretty good time.

Follow his lead - go to the bar - all bartenders can speak English.

You've never been to Japan, have you? Or France

Not that I know a lot of bartenders, to be honest.

Anyway, that was the weirdest conference call I ever had. First we had to chase each other around, A calling B calling C calling D and then finding out A had dropped out. Then we had this long conversation in Portuguese, with one guy translating to and from English for me. We ended up spending more than an hour on something that should have taken 15 minutes to explain, but I have the information I need now

Isn't that normal for office work?

happy_terd · 04-01-2010, 11:50 AM

AHHH

Time to shut the blinds and get back to work.

Depends which part. We normally conduct our meetings in Frenglish, not in Portuglish. But the rest is pretty standard, yeah

I've just done a big shopping expedition. We've got people coming over for Easter.

Now I'm trying to work up the energy to replace the bathroom sealant.
Six months ago I tried a new low-odour one. It claimed to be mould-resistant and long-lasting but failed on both counts. So it's back to silicone. It's a job I particularly dislike.

recluse · 04-01-2010, 12:21 PM

I'm getting ready to start coloring Easter eggs and preparing the treats.

I know. It's just so wrong.

I'm having some really bad visuals on your egg color schemes, and just what you might consider "treats."
