Yesterday was my last day at my old job. It's going to be a very good opportunity for me to move on to something I love even more, and we still have our security, but it's stressful none the less.

Mike, I'm very sorry to hear this, dude. Mutually satisfactory parting of the ways?

Maybe there's a big earthquake on the way for Seattle.... [;)]

Ironically, there is. My friend was part of FEMA for a while. They are planning for it. They just don't know when it'll occur....but it will sooner or later....thats why there's all the hand wringing out her regarding the ancient Highway 520 floating bridge and the equally aged Alaskan way Viaduct downtown (highway 99) [X(]

Totally alarmist tripe. You'll get yours from Mt. Rainier's pyroclastic explosion first.

Restaurant in Central Coast, Australia

(It is an extremely windy day so we have to keep the double doors closed. A customer and her 9 yr old daughter walks up to the doors, and walks away. They don’t go very far. A coworker goes outside to start cleaning tables.)

Customer: “Excuse me, are you open?”

Co-Worker: “Yes, we are.”

Customer: “But I stood in front of the doors and they didn’t open.”

Co-Worker: “No, ma’am. You have to push them.”

(The customer and her daughter opens the door and walks in. The daughter goes off to the bathroom. We are an old west themed restaurant, so everything, even the toilet door signs are changed to suit. The daughter comes back a few seconds later.)

Customer: “What’s wrong honey? Couldn’t you find them?”

Daughter: “I’m not sure if I’m a cowboy or a cowgirl.”

Video Rental Store in Toronto, ON, Canada

(We are closed and counting money from the register, when a customer approaches the locked door and tries to open it. She notices the closed sign and tries the door again, then knocks on the door loudly and pulls hard on the door. So hard in fact, that she manages to fit her shoe through the crack. Worried about a broken door, I open the door quickly.)

Customer: “Are you open?”

Me: “No, we are closed.”

Customer: “Then why did you open the door?!”

More beer and hockey. I love this season.

We're having a totally crazy derby vs SkAIK. Scoring on all those chances we missed against your favourite team. Absolutely wonderful. [:D]

Yeah, that was just absurd. From 0-2 to 4-2 in one period or something like that.

We got another undeserved win really. Im a bit worried about what sort of form we are in now. Playoffs coming up and we are playing like third graders. Its weird that we always get these slumps right after the 1-2 week pauses in the series. I think our young players are partying too much during the breaks. Ive heard rumors about that aswell, that they are down at the clubs 3-4-5 days in a row during the breaks.

We were dominated for 1.5 period and was 0-2 behind. Then they made those 4 goals in 3 mins 20 secs and turned the game around.

Well, they are 18-20 yrs old, and 95% of all the girls in the city wants to sleep with them. Who can blame them really..

Mike, I'm very sorry to hear this, dude. Mutually satisfactory parting of the ways?

Stu and Andre, it was mostly satisfactory on my part. Effectively, my job went to China without me. I was given the choice of a separation package or a crappy process to try to find another position. I chose door #1. [:)]

There are lots of good jobs in this area, and I'm very fortunate that I can take my time to find something that I really like instead of having to take the first thing I can get. [8D]

Good morning - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

Hi all,

How are you feeling and doing Mike?

Well, you certainly sound as though you've thought things through, Mike. Good luck. Please let us know how you're getting on!

Morning tithe...

Belated morning tithe.

Just skimmed the last few pages. My heart goes out to all you guys who have lost loved ones and whose family members are in difficulty.

Proposal for Mike and Nik. You two should start a techie business and take over the world like Microsoft cisco and google. If you need a customer service director I will be happy to submit my resume. [:)]

and good thing the trip is in March...otherwise i'd probably end up like the boys from Deliverence....the way this month has been going.

I'm not comforted by the fact that the classic industrial song by REVCO "Beers, Steers and Q**rs" starts off with that sound byte.......(followed by "Texas is the place........")

Interesting....Lutheran...upstate New York....you have Scandinavian or German background?

German from my mother's side. My dad's side is English and i was told (allegedly) that our paternal side ancestors trace all the way back to Queen Ann's court....but who knows. Since it's still Febuary were i to look myself up on lineage.com or whatever website now caters to it, i'd probably find that i was the waterboy to Brave Sir Robin.

As i like to put it to people...I have a lineage that has simotaniously won and lost two World Wars. No wonder i'm the way i am. [:D]

for what it's worth, at least you got the option of a sep package. Me, i'm gonna have to vote with my feet or take a job noone wants. They don't consider it a "demotion" because in their eyes its a "lateral" move but thats bunk.
