HEY YOU GUYS!!!*

 

 

It's Friday night...do you know where your sanity is?

 

*This is not a portrait of me.

[Nowhere Man]

Boyfriend? I don't think so. Tonight I didn't get to leave the office until 8 pm... and then I had more work to finish when I got home that had to be done ASAP (even though it's a Friday). :-(

Watcha do for a living? Just curious? BTw, I'll check back later, got to run some errands and as the saying goes "tempest fugit." (Time Flies)

I'll leave Boz Skaggs on the jukebox though. B-D

[RosieCotton]

Dang, I've gotten to serious, time to go to the jukebox and put on "The Pina Colada Song" (1979) by Rupert Holmes.

No, not that - anything but that!!

[Nowhere Man]

I just don't know if they'll keep us around if we aren't working, being as we're temps at this point. I'm assuming so, as we weren't told otherwise, but...

I know the feeling, I'm one too although the temps have been known to stay for a year or two, maybe longer with excellent prospects of hire. One of my co-workers was a temp at one company and when they were going through an update of their systems, they basically just sat around, the management even said, bring a book or something to read, he just brought his comic books in and worked on his Dungeons and Dragons game. One time he worked a night shift andwhen thigs got slow, they just sat and talked and every cubicle had Michael Savage on and some of his co-workers made Savage look like a moderate. B-)

[Nowhere Man]

I am very depressed about being single :(

Know what you mean, but there are times it should not be rushed either. I told the story before but my friend tends to "John Wayne It" a bit on that department and he got burned. I think his mom pushes him a times so he can have a girl, hopefully get married before she dies. She is on dialysis and is recovering from a broken hip, I know she has medical problems but she isn't in any danger of dying that I know of. I think she pushes him and he feels pushed and ended up getting a girl from Canada (he is through with American girls he told me, he was talking to women in Russia for a while) and bringing her here. I can tell the story again, but I'll have to run soon and meet mom so we can food shop (anyone want to do it for me? B-D). He's been hurt several times by "looking before he leaps" ( a little quote from "The Tick"), boy I got stories there.

Well, right now, getting my economic house is in order, I'm still trying to get out of the funk here, still in the woods but I think I do see a way out but still in the distance. I have resolved it this way, I'll leave it up to God to lead me to her or her to me. I was deep in it economically, trying to get a better job, tried like Hell but never seemed to click. I just prayed and asked God if he would take the lead and I'll follow and then my present job opened up about a week later. When I say my prayers at night, well that it unless I go out like a light before I can say anything, I still ask Him for guidance.

[Nowhere Man]

Laptops, I have one ut the LCD croaked, it was a used Thinkpad and IBM had a bad cable and some also had a bad PC board on the back of the screen where you would get "The White Screen of Death" and then it goes dark. Tried to see if I coul fix it, but to no avail so I just stick an old monitor on it. Wish I could find a junked Thinkpad of the same type, I'd like to cannibalize it and put the screen on it. Well, maybe once I get my house in order, I'll just buy a new one, but I'm kind of miffed the screen croaked on me. B-P

BTW, still listening to Rupert Holmes, I'm kind of in the 1970's mood, give me a denim leisure suit and a 1977 AMC Gremlin or Pacer with 8-Track, I'll be happy. B-)

[Nowhere Man]

t's not funny. I have just wasted several quality minutes trying to come up with a pick-up line that was doomed from the start. ;)

Try, "hey baby, what's your sign?!" B-)

or

Get a 1970's era convertible (preferably a 'land yacht' type, say a 1971 Ford LTD) and a Mr. Microphone, crank up the radio and drive by and say, "hey good lookin' I'll be back to pick you up later!"

B-) B-) B-)

Just a little fun, I guess I'm still stuck in the 1970's today. B-) I guess with women or anyone, just be yourself, I know no other strategy.

[Clemenza]

I'm carry a Y Chromosome.

If I sound female, its because Seattle is starting to affect me. Next thing you know, I'll be using moisturizer.

[RosieCotton]

Sometimes folks sell junked systems on eBay...though I think there are more with busted screens than ones with good screens and other problems.

I just was at Best Buy to check on other things, but it didn't help my wants for a new system. *sigh* Eventually. Just hope this one keeps chuggin'.

[RosieCotton]

Moisturizer? In Seattle? Ain't it moist enough there already?

[Paul_Denton]

True. It should not be rushed. "John Wayne it?"

Dang sorry to hear about the dialysis.

I do not see what he would have against against American girls.

I remember that now. I am sorry to hear about your friend.

I pray to be led t her or her to be led to me to but it never has happened :(

[Paul_Denton]

Listening to 'Within Temptation' here. Never heard of Rupart Homes lol.

[Paul_Denton]

Very cool :)

[Paul_Denton]

Hello Day 10. Been kinda slow this time around lol.

[Rca2000]

Well, he was popular sometime before you were even a thought in your parent's mind, as was Boz Scaggs"runaround".

[Paul_Denton]

Cool. I never heard of Boz Scaggs either LOL

[Rca2000]

Right now, I am listening to "take me back to paradise", by .38 special. Ever heard of them?

[Dashing Dasher]

Why did I think you were a woman?

Maybe it was your tagline.

[Clemenza]

Maybe it was your tagline.

My tagline is in reference to a certain mad scientist active in the Atlantic City, NJ area:

[Clemenza]

See #258.

[ozarkgirl]

Why did I think you were a woman?

Oh dear, so did I! Need to change that tag line! I owe him an apology, I suggested he lived in the same state as another one on this site and suggested he contact him. Ooooh, my bad.

I hope he hasn't contacted the other person yet!!
