Mom taught me to sew. Dad taught me the "I'm going to work hard enough not to have to do something that boring" ethic. (In his case, it was lawn mowing, not sewing).
Isn't that what I said...?
Oh yeah..... And it's too late fer coffee, too!
That's so Kathy Lee of you...
I feel bad because I think I let my mom's sewing machine go to waste. It was a nice one, and they are so expensive. I kept it, thinking maybe I'd learn to sew... and it reminded me of my mom looking through the drawers of thread and scraps she had in the drawers. Well, it sat around 5-6 years and I finally gave it to a friend. She has had a bugger of a time getting it to work, taken it to a repairman a few times, apparently they can't be allowed to just sit, the lubricants are all sealed inside, and they just gum up from disuse. I don't know if it will ever be happy again.
How do you defeat the aliens without the laser?
Heh...I read it as "Clyde" the first time...
You mean the fat alien? Feed 'em until he explodes! :-)
Playing Zuma now....
Don't feel bad about it, chica. The truth of the matter is you prolly kept the machine for its sentimental value more than an actual desire to sew your own blouses.
I think the quilt you have on your wall is more than a fair replacement! And you can actually appreciate it every day!
Hey - we play Zuma at Yahoo games. Does yours let you go above level 4?
I figgered it out...
What's "Zuma" precious?
So what's it look like out at job A? Is it going to be OK or is it some kind of living hell? Or somewhere in between like most jobs?? :-)
Hey Ruthmeister... :-)
Haven't reached level 4 just yet.....
The Zuma you play has the spinning frog too? Shoot different colored marbles outta its mouth to make groups of 3?
Corin - popcap.com has many evils......
Zuma
Bejeweled
Dynomite
Insaniquarium
Bookworm

Hey there! How were things in the mines today?
Yeah - I checked it out.... It's the same game. and the free web version maxes out after 4. ecurbh and I mastered that one long ago :~D and still play it for somethin' to do. The downloadable one was really cool, but it only lets ya play an hour without paying for it ;~\
Well... somewhere in the middle I guess. It's help desk call center, which I've already been burned out on once before. But it's an easy product to support (Washington Mutual Online Banking), and the folks there seem pretty nice. And it's waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere, but there's no rush hour traffic to deal with.
And at least it's only temp position to start with, so it'll be easier to say goodbye if I can't take it.
Gotta remember to take the camera with me and get some pics of the site... pretty unique location to work at!
And it's money, right? That's something...
How about your coworkers? I'm so glad I've got nice geeky guys (who are slightly, er, impressed by my female-ness). Wouldn't like to work with nasty people if I could help it.
