I have to go thaw out the truck. Then I am off to the bank, post office, wal mart, auto zone, and the Ford stealership.

Pray I don't get lost.

If you hit 75, turn left, give me a call, I buy you a drink and send you back in the right direction..

With the Holidays approaching, some of you will be OoO (Out of Office) for the holidays, vacation, etc. Here are some Out of Office auto-replies to use:

1. I am currently out of the office at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Please be prepared for my mood.

2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.

3. Sorry to have missed you, but I'm at the doctor's having my brain and heart removed so I can be promoted to our management team.

4. I will be unable to delete all the emails you send me until I return from vacation. Please be patient, and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.

5. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first 10 words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.

6. The email server is unable to verify your server connection. Your message has not been delivered. Please restart your computer and try sending again. (The beauty of this message is that when you return, you can see who did this over and over and over....)

7. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.

8. Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.

9. I've run away to join a different circus.

10. I will be out of the office for the next two weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as 'Lucille' instead of Steve.

The time zone thing keeps slippin my mind! I figured youd be there and back by now, silly me!

You're right though, sleepin in on a day off is amazing. Ive been getting a few too many of those latelly though. Time to look for more foreclosed houses!

That is me also, here is the quote that fits me.

But a strong urge to dominate anything technical clouds your better judgment and you find yourself going after the malfunctioning strand with a non-contact tester and a multimeter.

This is what I did this year:
"And while you're at the hardware store, consider spending $3 on a new string and forgetting the whole idea of repairing the old string."

Except that I just chunked every string in the trash can this year, and will buy new strings after this season is up -- I'll take advantage of the discounts. But I underestimated my daughter's reaction. She mentioned that she was bummed that we don't have lights up this year. I might put some up when I get back this weekend, just to have something....

Yeah, my fingers are crossed for you Cris, I hope they find this for you..

I have often wondered how stupid I look with a 400.00 fluke, and the 15.00 non contact voltage pen, 4 empties, 2 full ones left.. and only one strand completed..
