But I did realize that you are #10 on the slacker list and the top 10 do not need to submit paperwork in a timely manner so you maybe good. #1.2 will have to make the call on that

Yep, sounds like a typical attorney... my idiot here couldn't even get things sent to the correct address. Except for his bill, that always showed up on time and at the right place.

Well since he is so "busy", I'll assume it's approved. But, if he thinks it should be denied, he can show up at the airport in Omaha at 4am tomorrow and stop me.

The big news is the speed limit is now 80mph on the interstates. I've been "practicing" that for a while now anyway, lol.

Most people around here already do 80mph on the interstate. I'm sure the state patrol will enforce the limit more now.
if your state is like mine, they raid the transportation, which is the only one that knows how to balance, budget to pay for the general fund and education funds

Hi Jim.
NY doesn't "rob Peter to pay Paul" ,.....too much. It would be nice if our "Educational Lottery" funds actually went to education. All the roads in NY are going to be in rough shape when it thaws. So NY will need to raise more money for repairs....

I'm not sure if they do or not. The roads here are generally pretty decent... some of the cities and towns are awful, I assume because of local politicians mismanaging things.

Howdy Rob. Not bad at all. University will officially be on easter break in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Hardly any students left on campus at this point. How are you doing?

Woohoo, party at the dispatch center is about to begin!

Ok here, not much happening at work this afternoon, and I'm outta here tomorrow and Monday. Definitely not wanting to get dragged into anything work related at this point.
