Good evening/morning, Sarge. Hope your day is going well. I hear a big weekend is coming up.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wow...she is good to you. LOL! Glad it is quiet. Still working nights?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and rest well, ms b...*HUGS*
Thanks for all you do for our troops.

[CMS]

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s a good thing you enjoy nights.....is your computer behaving well?

[amom]

Hey there CMS! Thanks for your service.

From the ‘better late than never’ crew.

Hi ya Kathy. Thanks for the coffee and the ping to the new thread. I tried to stay away until midnight so I was on the right thread, lol.

And how was your day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, amom...a very weird day. Lots of issues, but maybe, just maybe, we finally got thru, at least a bit to one of the ones from upstairs making us keep track of stuff that is a royal pain in the butt, takes too much time, and we refused to do half of it, the half whose week was not being paid. She came down and wanted to know why. We explained about no time, and how much trouble it would be to do the off week, when we didn’t have time to do this week. Sometime after an hours plus she said then this report isn’t working and we said no. We have more exceptions to the rules they wanted, than those that follow the rules.

Eventually she said she was starting to see what were talking about. I’m hoping she remembers in the morning, but she said we could stop keeping track, as she wasn’t getting the answers she needed. HALLELUJAH!!

[Pusterfuss]

Good morning Kathy. (40)

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night Troops, wherever you are.

Good morning fellow cubevillians!

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s retirement practice again!! WooHoo!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sending a prayer for the “hit and run” troop, that he is better really quickly and without lasting consequence.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God bless and keep safe our troops worldwide.

Good night.
