No literally Mike nothing burned down. The situation I was talking about was a fire alarm going off in an area of campus that is not hooked into our network. If it would have been I would have been on top of that like flies on crap but out there I didn't know what was going on and there was no procedure at all, no procedure here can be compared to when a CPA finds extra money somewhere. Bells and buzzers start going off in the mind and you have to figure out why.

Hey all. Just 2 more hours for me, and checkin' out, for my last night shift.
That's right, I'm off to dayshifts for 3 months. Nothing I like better than having to get out of bed at 4:30 AM to go to work, and not getting home till 8pm. Yippie.

I got called at 10:30 am and was asked if I would cover the second half of teh evening shift for teh person who called in sick. I am glad my cell phone was called first and I saw the missed call and called back when I got out of bed at 4. When I called the operator who answered said yeah you told Andy that you'd come in at 7, I had no recollection of doing so but i had a wierd thought when I woke up that I had talked to that person for something, I just thought I was imagining things. Anyway I listened to the call when I came in and sure enough I had said I would come in, not that I doubted my coworkers but I wanted to hear this call to see what kind of stupid stuff I may have said. Anyway it was a good thing because I would have been hit with a call in otherwise due to a bad storm that came through our area. I got hear at 7 pm and it's been a madhouse till the last half hour or so. Signing in and powering on till 0700 10/19/04.

Birdhunter - that sounds JUST like a date I had with a girl last week. We'd talked on the phone quite a bit, but I could never get her to send me a picture over e-mail. I did get her to describe herself to me once, but all she said was "green eyes, brown hair". I drove 3 hours to get there (huge traffic jam, rush hour, San Jose traffic) and finally get to this restaurant. I went inside and asked the hostess if anyone was waiting for someone. I still had no idea what this girl looked like. As I was talking to the hostess, I see this HUGE girl walk in the door. I keep looking at the hostess, hoping this enormous girl will just walk right past me and go sit with her enormous friends, but, no, she was my date.

This girl must have weighed 300 lbs. I'm not a vain, or materialistic person, but I do have standards. And there has to be some sort of physical attraction. If you let yourself go that far, you obviously have a serious lack of respect for yourself, which I have a problem with.

So I tough this date out, having the excuse of a long drive ahead of me to call it an early night. We eat dinner, get the check, and I'm out of there in about an hour. Over the phone, it was great, but in person, the chemistry was just totally wrong.

Oh yeah, and she was wearing flip flops. It was a nice restaurant, on par with an Olive Garden or whatnot. Now, I'm no fashion diva, but isn't that just a little trashy?

Yikes. The search continues.

However, it was not the *worst* date I've had.

Just a 12 hour shift. Of course I think that is how Pep started off and got caught on a 36 hour ++++++ shift a few weeks ago.

yeah basically the same sort of thign, except she was one of those gals who 20 or 30 lbs would have helped her appearance. She was about 5'9" or 5'10" and maybe 100 lbs., way too skinny and no figure. On the way home i was seeing wooden fence posts of yesteryear that had more of a figure. Also the same, communication was great, till we met in person then there was nothing. Glad to get out of there, and like I said it may have been the worst date I was ever on including when I totaled out my original Ford.

Yep. Just like that.

Hope you brought a toothbrush.

In my case, it helps to bring movies......finishing Primary Colors from the other day.
