Hi all,

... aaaahh ... not only Friday. The autumn from hell is now ended, and my three weeks holiday starts ... just about now [:)][:'(]

I will have to finish the IT inventory at work first and I will also go for 2+ weeks of vacation...

I'm in Mikes's boat. No vacation this year. [:(] What's worse, no access to this web site either. [:(]

"Dad, I don't feel so good..."

Overheard in the Chickenboy household at 3:31am (All parents know and loathe this sound, which follows on the heels of the aforementioned announcement...)

"BLAARRRRK"...

It was a long night...

[Chickenboy]

Anyways, Good morning tithe...

[Mike Solli]

Man, I don't miss that at all. Young children are fun, but when they are older want to go do something and you feel like messing around with AE, all you have to do is give them the car keys. [:D]

It's not all bad though. I get the two Mondays after the holidays off and, since I work four 10 hour shifts, I get Fridays off as well. So, 4 day week this week and 3 day weeks the next 2.

Good guess, Per, and thanks! [:)]

I'm pretty pumped.  It is an amazing company to work for with a fantastic teamwork culture, it's much closer to home, pays more than my previous job at IBM, and I'll have several testers directly reporting to me.  I start the day after the New Year's holiday, on January 3rd.  Great way to begin the new year.  [8D]

I finally found this, Mike. Congrats! That's wonderful news.

Thanks, Mike!

Are you referring to the position out of the country you were offered? Have you accepted it? Mike will you be able to exchange PBEM turns while "working."? You'll need to check in with us via email from time to time. We can pass along your updates here if you like.

Duh, or are you simply working at your local desk without any vacation time available? [:D]

I hear that, Mike. Our "baby" is 13 and we often don't hear him in the night. Sometimes in the morning we are informed that he got sick the night before, but it's already cleaned up. [8D]

I'm still dreading/eagerly awaiting the time when I hand him the car keys. [X(] [8D]

OK, that answers my previous question. [:D]

I'm actually working 4 x 10 the week after Christmas, so I don't lose the pay for a day. [:)]
