Did you nearly have an aneurysm with the forum outage yesterday?

When the web search page comes up instead of the usual forum page... my heart skips a beat and I'm lost in a foggy haze of bewilderment.

I started to suck my thumb and immediately poopooed and peepeed my trousers.
I cleaned myself up and then Bob was my uncle.  :)

I ended up painting a room!   :o

My house is like the plumber's house with every faucet leaking or the roofer's house with missing shingles... I do it all for everyone else but rarely get to my own stuff.  Is nice to make a change of my own, for a change.

I went home last and it worked from there, got back to work today and figure my machine was jacked up cause I could get here on another one.  Well, the MAC is running faster today than yesterday.  So, there was some good in all this.

I spent the time visiting the other 15 forums I belong to, some of which are down right boring.  It's amazing what you'll do when needing information on something.

It must have been while I was SLEEPING.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I missed it.  ::)

I dread the day they cut me off at work. My boss is always telling me they will cut me off one day. :(
I hate it when I'm reading something and the curser start moving and logs me off on its own, I have to sit there expecting the phone to ring and dread the thought that the IT boss will give me a warning.
Anyway, what would I do if they did cut me off, I can't say stuff your job at going on 66 because my home connection is a works line as well and without a job, I don't think I could aford it. :'(
I probably spend 2 hours working and 8 online, it's not my fault they pay me for doing nothing most of the day. ::)
