Monday... again

[Red50]

Who else thinks that the first Monday after Thanksgiving should be a National Post-Feast Recovery Day? :o

Mornin' :)

[sophisticatedmoma]

Morning :)

Lets just say it would have been a good thing if I could have taken today off to bond with my treadmill :o

[Red50]

I've got a ball game tonight... I think they're going to have to roll me up and down the court. LOL!

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

mornin' :o...

here's the ball rolling down the... oh wait, that's just Red tripped or somethin' :p j/k

time to losen the seatbelts, open your belt up another notch... hehe j/k :p

[Red50]

As long as everyone remembers we're playing basketball and not soccer... :eek:

Everyone have a good Thanksgiving?

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

or think they're playing football and try to punt ya :eek:

good I guess :o... just kinda stayed in (didn't really even go outside or anything :p)... just stayed in to try to relax and stuff :o... and of course eat all that yummy food :cool: lol

[sophisticatedmoma]

I had a great Thanksgiving! Only thing that could have made it better was to have this week off :D

[Red50]

Yeah... that would suck too. :o The bench is sounding better and better... ;)

Relaxing is always good... :o I had plans to do that, but I "volunteered" to help my mom decorate her house for Christmas. Sure seems like a lot more work than it used to be... :o

[Red50]

A week off makes just about anything better... :o

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

well I think it's that it's all fun helping w/ decorating and stuff, until you get like your OWN place and maybe have to decorate it, then when you have to do somebody else's too, seems like just more work :o

[sophisticatedmoma]

I don't decorate my house. I have to help put the tree up here at the office, thats bad enough!!

[Red50]

The non-fun part was the live Christmas tree... complete with a 600 lb ball of dirt/roots :eek: Just about killed myself getting that in the house... :o After that, putting up the outside lights was cake... though I almost fell off the ladder.

Be an odd epitaph... He fought the ladder, and the ladder won. :o

[Red50]

I have a 12" Christmas tree, with permantly attached decorations that I put out... that's all the decorating I do. :o

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

hehe I have one of those small trees too :o lol... although I put up some lights in the window and hang wreath and stuff too :o...
some things looks like it goes longer when it's in a small apartment ;)

[Red50]

I'd probably decorate more if I ever spent Christmas at my place, but I'm always out of town... so it's a bit pointless. :o

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

so if you live in an apartment, how is Santa supposed to come in if there's no chimney? :p

[Monarchy]

I still dislike holidays...

[Red50]

He comes in thru the heater vents... :p

Hey Mon :D

Even St. Patrick's Day?! :eek:

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

but wouldn't he be all cut up like going through one of those choppers if he did that? :o!... 'sides I have electric heaters :p

if you DO think about it, what we're telling kids is that it's ok for some big guy w/ a beard to come sneaking into your house, eating cookies and stuff, JUST so long as he leaves presents behind?

St. Patrick is the DEVIL :o! hehe :p...

[Monarchy]

I really dislike St. Pat's Day, I see no point to it. But perhaps if I had actually been born on that day I would like it.

[Red50]

If he can go down a chimney without catching on fire, he can navigate around the blades... didn't you see "The Rock" if Sean Connery can do it, Santa can! :D

Yep, that's about it... why do you think I grow a beard around Christmas time. ;)

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

Santa's got 'ho's in all the different area codes :p! LOL!!

[Red50]

LMAO!

[Brit 3:16]

LMAO.

oh man what a weekend I've had.

Damn Sophmom you should see mine. lets just say inside and out is a Christmas wonderland.

True you here bout those New bedford kids? crazy ass punks!

[sophisticatedmoma]

We got robbed over the weekend :eek: They took laptops, projectors, and other things like that. They also got the office upstairs....

Good thing they didn't know about my hiden candy :o lol

[sophisticatedmoma]

[Red50]

Does it not open the .zip file? Or will it not extract the files inside?

[sophisticatedmoma]

Thats horrible!

It downloads and then this other box pops up....I don't know what it is

[Red50]

Is there an error message in the box that pops up?

[Brit 3:16]

yes it is Sophmom.

lol. If I couldn't get the messages by now I'd say the heck with it. Sophmom ya got patience

[sophisticatedmoma]

no, its a box that says something about the application to pull open the file.

[sophisticatedmoma]

More like determination ;)

[Red50]

Before or after you try to extract the files?

[sophisticatedmoma]

after

[Red50]

Hmm... what's the extension on the file?

Might also try just double-clicking on the file in the WinZip window.

[sophisticatedmoma]

I have NO idea

[Red50]

Ok. Do you know how to do a screen capture?

[cyane]

OMG lol so much trouble :p

[Red50]

LOL!

[Drama]

yay!!! y'all are back!!! friday DRAAAAAAGGGGGGGED on without y'all around!!!

that's the ONLY good thing about today....just found out i have to work until 9:00 thursday night!!! :(

[Red50]

Hey Drama :D

Yuck! Do you get any kind of perk for working so late, like getting off work early on Friday?

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

so straight through until 9 Thurs NO sleep?? :eek: :o! :p

[sophisticatedmoma]

Hey Drama :)

Why do you have to work so late?

[Brit 3:16]

Drama how are ya? :o

[Drama]

no, true....not STRAIGHT through!!! but from 8:00 thursday morning until 9:00 thursday night.....the store is having this big party thing for all the good customers, so i have to basically walk around the store and greet people and make sure they're having a good time....PLUS there's all this yummy food and we can't eat any of it!!! that's the true torture there!!

but i do get to leave early on wednesday...can't leave early friday b/c it's payday and i have to be here.....funny how all of a sudden i become important when they need me, huh?

[Red50]

Always seems to be the case, doesn't it... :o

[sophisticatedmoma]

Yummy food and you can't eat any? What's that all about? That alone would be enough to make me quit my job lol

[Brit 3:16]

lol.

the customers get to be greeted by Drama with a smile. Lucky peeps.

yummy food and not being able to taste it. Drama cheat and say I was holding it for him and point to a guy. ;)

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

could always try to be sneaky about it :cool:...
see if you can get one of the customers to tell you to have some of the food, that way, if anyone says anything, you can just say that's what the customer wanted you to do, and how would it look if you refused to eat it when they asked you, they might think there's something wrong w/ it or get a bad impression or something... so you HAD to eat some of it :D

[sophisticatedmoma]

This is on Thursday? Don't worry Drama, I'll go down there and get enough for us both ;)

[Drama]

you should come on down, sophmom....it's interesting enough to just people watch....there are some strange ones that wander in....what's scary is that most of the strange ones were invited in the first place!!!

[sophisticatedmoma]

Which one are you at again?

[Brit 3:16]

LOL at True. thats an idea.

[Red50]

I think that qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment... :o

[Brit 3:16]

I'd go down and ask who's in charge and say Drama *and I'd bring her over* is a great employee, yada, yadda, yadda and deserves to get high bucks. :o

[Drama]

i'm glad to know i'm not the only one that thinks the "no eating" rule is absolutely crazy!!

all this talk about food has made me REALLY hungry......

[Red50]

me too :o

[Drama]

i still have an hour before i get to go to lunch.....and then i have to teach training as soon as i get back....will this madness EVER end?!?!?!?!?!?

i'm with mon.....i'm really starting to not like the holidays.....

[Red50]

In about 40 more years... :(

[Brit 3:16]

poor Drama. :(

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

all this stress and stuff at work... should do a "health" study and find out work isn't good for your health, so it should be banned for medical reasons ;):p

[Drama]

and i didn't even get to go shopping this weekend!!! the biggest shopping weekend of the year, and i did not contribute a single penny......guess i'll have to make up for it this weekend....spending money always did make me feel better!!! and i think i'll need it after this work week!!! and at least i'll be shopping for other people (or trying to anyway!)!!!

[Brit 3:16]

LOL at Drama :o shopping for other peeps. :o whats this one gift for them two for me. :p

[Drama]

i'm not THAT bad 3:16!!

one of family member....one for drama....two for family member....two for drama....

see? it's all equal!!

yay!!! it's lunch time!!! see y'all when i get back!

[Brit 3:16]

1 for 3:16...1 for drama. :p I can't complain at all with your method. :o

see ya when ya get back

[sophisticatedmoma]

I need to go shopping too. I haven't even started my Christmas shopping.

[Brit 3:16]

neither have I. :o

[Brit 3:16]

[sophisticatedmoma]

I need to get started on that but I keep spending the money on me :o

[Brit 3:16]

lol. Sophmom my thoughs are ya worth all that money ya spent. :o

you should only 29 days left till christmas morning. :p

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

29 days?? :eek:

[sophisticatedmoma]

What happens is...I go to the store thinking about gifts for others but then I see something I want or NEED, or think I need anyway lol

I can't believe its only 29 days :eek:

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

well taking into account that you're at work like maybe a 1/3 of that time, asleep another 1/4 to 1/3, meals, bathroom breaks, driving time....
that means you have exactly... 5 1/2 days of actual time! :eek:

[Brit 3:16]

lol. :o

Sophmom lol. :o

[sophisticatedmoma]

WOW! Good thing I have vacation starting next week!!

[Brit 3:16]

I hope the vacyion is long enough. plus christmas. lucky duck. :o

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

well I decided to declare my own BRITNEY holiday!! :D

[sophisticatedmoma]

Its a week long but I'm hoping it will seem like 2 weeks :o

[sophisticatedmoma]

LOL True, what date does that fall on?

[TrueB&B_BritFan]

well she's all coming in here on the 9th and 11th (Sun, Tues) so I decided to take off that Monday and Tues... kinda turn it into a whole long weekend event thing :D

plus I probably wouldn't feel like coming back EARLY Mon morning, then go to work and have to do same thing later the week... just easier to like sleep in and stuff this way too :)

[Brit 3:16]

lol. Go True :o

yay for sophmom. like i said you lucky duck. :o

[sophisticatedmoma]

I see your point. ;)

I once took my vacation cause of concerts. We drove to New Orleans spent the night and then drove to Dallas. All in all we did 18 hours of driving. It took that whole next week off for me to re-cooperate.
