    I just had to pull some stuff from microfiche-yes microfiche!!!! (I bet nobody else has seen one of those for at least 10 years!) Stupid thing must be 20 years old and it jams at least twice between each page it prints. I swear, if I ever get the chance, I am going to "Office Space" that thing (a co-worker uses that as a verb. :))

    Just had to vent. :D

    :eek: Whoa, you are right. I haven't seen microfiche in ages.

    Sorry to hear about your troubles though. That had to have stunk. :(

    Thanks Bria.

    It made me a little cranky, but I feel better now. :)

    Yes, be mindful of your thoughts Kirana...you're concentrating on the negative...you're feelings betray you...

    maybe you should think about when jk rowling's gonna release book 5 instead of worrying about the office equpiment (that *was* you reading goblet of fire in line, right?).

    ;)

    Yep, Jupitertronic, that was me re-reading Goblet of Fire in line (fourth time? or fifth? I've lost track. :)) Last I heard, book 5 probably won't be out until next year sometime :()

    Gee, and I was worried about falling behind because I'm only on Book 3. (I've been on Book three for 9 months. Better get back on it. ) There's a new preview out by the way.

    ...now back to meditation...

    The temptation was too strong...could not resist the lure of the Dark Side.

    No problem Kirana. Although I am about to take a dive into the deep end of the darkside and take out the phone companies.

    Qwest USED to have some offices in the building I work in, but a bunch of them got laid off, and the offices are empty now. Does that make you feel better, M_D?

    (Not that there's anything good about people getting laid off.)

    I have the memo right here!!

    (My manager once made a reference to TPS reports in a memo as a joke. Half the dept. cracked up, the other half wanted to know what a TPS report was(making the rest of us laugh harder).

    Such a true to life movie that is!! :D

    and he moved my desk in front of the window and i liked sitting in front of the window because then i could look out and then they moved my desk over by the door and i didn't like sitting in front of the door and they told me to turn my music down but i was told i could listen to my choice of music at a reasonable volume because if peg had her headphones on i was told i could listen to the music at a reasonable volume between the hours of eight and ten, and then they switched from the swingline stapler to the boston stapler but i like my swingline stapler because it doesnt jam all that much like the new boston staplers do and then lumbergh said he wanted to move my desk again and i told him that i didnt want to move but he suggested i move my desk and i didnt receive my paycheck and if they move my desk one more time i told him...

    okay, OKAY milton, i have to get outta here!

    ...i'm going to burn the building down.

    One more name for Aero-Milton! :)
    (Just a suggestion, since you do such a good impression.)

    My quote:

    -I don't really like my job. I'm not gonna go anymore.
    -Are you going to quit?
    -No, not really. I'm just not gonna go.
    -How are you going to pay your bills?
    -Yeah, I never really liked doing that either.

    :D
