Golly. You make it sound like being away from the UT is a good thing...:o|

[Dead Corpse]

Sounds good Bob... At least you aren’t trying to parallel park this thing... ;-)

[Dead Corpse]

Welp... they are gone. Had a bit of drama at the airport that kind of ruined the moment, but I got them their safely. Not going to go too much into it, but people should REALLY listen to me when I friggin' tell them something is NOT going to work.

Hello? Friggin' 160 IQ here. Not exactly the kind of person whose opinions you shouldn't take seriously...

The next few months are going to be hell... I can just feel it like a sense of impending doom...

[Monkey Face]

You mean we aren’t there, yet?

[Monkey Face]

Yah. I get that. I’m about 8 points behind you, and I have a lot of trouble with know-it-alls.

So when are you leaving?

I’m excited for you, and I really do think things will go in your favor. {{{{{DC}}}}}

Golly. You make it sound like being away from the UT is a good thing...:o|

Being away -- not. What's taking me away -- yes.

You may recall that I've been making a bid for a new position in the corporation. Some things are happening that just might make it go.

[Dead Corpse]

Me? I’m rolling out on the morning of the 5th. This means I’m offline for a bit starting on the night of the 2nd. Should be back on a week or so afterwards.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Remember, there are no filling stations out here.

*Whines* "But I wanted a Stuckey's Pecan Log Roll!"

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I am happy to hear things are going well for you.

[sionnsar]

Thanks! It’s in the category of “hopeful signs” — I’m getting some assignments of the type I could expect in the new position. Perhaps this is a test.

[Monkey Face]

Yes, I recall, but I’ve been trying to be patient and wait for you to come in doing the Happy Dance...

[Monkey Face]

Well, I’ll try to wait calmly for when you get back online with all the news...;o]

[Monkey Face]

And how are YOU? Are you all over your Strep, now? And are you also....MRS?

[Dead Corpse]

I’m having a bit of a conundrum right now. Should I hit the liquor store on the way home? Or wait until Friday...

[Monkey Face]

Golly...if it were me doing the driving, I’d have to make a detour to the liquor locker. And then plan on ordering pizza when I got home. ;o]

[Darksheare]

Ouch!

Pebble storm nine o’clock low.

[Dead Corpse]

Got pizza. Red Barron Special Deluxe. Got beer. Shiner. I even have a bunch of movies I could watch tonight should the fancy take me.

I've also got a months worth of work to do, two weeks to do it, and a workout I missed this AM to do tomorrow AM.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

Nothing like having a full plate! Still...”the longest journey...” and all that!

[Dead Corpse]

Yep. I’ve even got my next few steps planned out. It’s like unraveling a ball of threads. Sometimes it is less important which thread you start with, as it is to just get started.

[Monkey Face]

I live by that because some days, even that first step is overwhelming...
