      I got my taxes done this weekend, and I'm getting a total of $2400 in refunds (hurray!). That, along with the final check from my most recent contract job which I received over the weekend, will probably go into the car fund (buy me a new car and my daughter gets my old one). Well, it was 14°F (-10°C for you Europeans) outside this morning, and the temperature isn't supposed to get much warmer at lunchtime. This means that I'll be running inside on the treadmill (blech). I finally get to do more work on The Big New Thing™ today, so that's good.

        My gf selected last night to go ballistic over a trivial issue, and so there's been no sleep here. It's going to be a long day at work... :sigh:

              Congratulations! :beer::beer::beer: We're having a slow "troubleshoot some odd stuff on the network" kinda day. Later on I've a contract to proofread, which is always fun. :doh: Mind you, we had a great weekend (Beth's parents came down for a visit, so there was a lot of home cooked food, beer and a significant amount of Wii-ing around in the lounge) so I guess a slow day today is not at all unexpected. :-\

                                      Cheers Chris. Must say, I like the site update though it did take me a few seconds to figure out the Lounge link was separate to the others. Makes sense now, easy to fling the cursor at it and click without hitting some other forum.

                                      cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                                          I went on holiday a free man and came back engaged. How are you all doing this fine Monday morning?

                                          cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                                          Congrats, Paul. I'm happy for you and Fiona (?) :)

                                          Cheers, Vıkram.


                                          I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends.   - Josh Gray.
