Am I the only poor bast&rd working today

“It's cold here so customer traffic will be light. Gonna be a long morning.”

“Crazy Mike has to work this weekend.”

“Im at work, though I refuse to do any......he he.”

“I'm here at the law firm this morning too. My son is helping me catch up on some clerical work.”

“It's REALLY cold in Chicago, I'm not at work and I'm leaving town to warmer climate! WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!

(Sorry to rub it in.)”

“that sux arky! i have 2 games to coach(we tied the first one, 17-17) so it might as well be work cuz i can't skip out on the boys. at least your not digging ditches out in the cold!”

“but if you keep workin, you'll be a rich ba$tard....”

“Just left Smiley Girl at the REI Used Gear Sale. She's on her way to work too. :-(”

“Just came into my office to continue preparing for Monday's start of the second semester. My rosters were waiting in my mailbox -- seven classes and 125 students as of now. Guess I'll keep the copier warm with churning out new syllabi and assignment schedules. Probably will be in Sunday, too, for at least part of the day.”

“At home. Going to start getting ready for my dad's 75th birthday party. Lots of relatives coming over.

pekka - School started two weeks ago. I am teaching one class on-line, which is interesting...more later.”

“At least four of my classes are only 2 credits, but they will still be separate performances -- so the total credit load will be 17, two over the normal load of 15 credits, plus 4 indiv. arranged creative writing students, which will mean minor overload pay.

Lots of new names to learn (I usually have them down by the next to last week of class, lol).

Anyone want to be my teaching assistant? No pay, but you get to live in an outdoor paradise!”

“My job sucks ass!!!!

They tell me to be on call for a full overtime job and here I am at home and no phone call!!!!

I think I am going to kill my boss and feed him to my dog!!!!

THIS FUC%EN SUCKS!!!!!

I want to be backpacking.

8OARGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!”

“cmb -- if you really are going to do that, can I option your media rights now before Court TV snaps them up? Not to mention it will make a great Law & Order episode (while inspired by a real case, the following is entirely fictional...)

j/k Mike...sorry to hear about you getting stiffed that way.”

“I know I am going to give them untill 3 pm and I think I am going to pack up and go to Hoosier National Forest and do some night backpacking.

Fight the man!

“Sounds like a plan, cmb, enjoy the night, there's plenty of it this time of year.”

“Watch just as I hit the door they are going to call me and then you know what happens after that.....

8|”

“Well, I bet the explosion will be measured on the Richter Scale, cmb. Think positively.”

“I will!

“I just showed up to work. Went home after the garage sale, did some more laundry, and now I'm here. Guess I better get something done. I'm just lucky I have a job, they laid off 8 people last week, with a total of 2 dozen from what I've heard.”

“I get to work a split shift today. All Right!! I love those, especially on the weekends.”

“Holy crap its cold in here! They must turn the heat down on the weekends....and there is a lock box over the thermostat....brrrrrrr!”

“I just heard about a study that says up to 90% of the thermostats in the workplace are fake. They're put on the walls to give the emloyees a sense of control. I suppose if yours has a lock box it must be real.”

“Well they called me I have to go in at 3.

Oh well I guess I will drop them bomb on the boss that I am going to take off next Friday to have a 3 day backpacking weekend.

8)”

“I'm working a 12, myself.”

“Go, Mike, Go!

They just installed a brand new thermostat and a new blower on the furnace here. The temp has been fine during the week since they figured out what the problem was. We were wearing our coats all day, I even brought in a pair of slippers to keep my feet warm, although they generally didn't go with my dressy work clothes. :)

Found a space heater in the next cube over. My feet are toasty now!”

“Had to take a break from TT for a bit to actually do some of the work I came into the office to accomplish.

But, now it's time to go home and let the dogs out, feed them and the cat, and try not to think about having to come back in Sunday. Hey, Stones live on HBO tonight. That'll be a good distraction, I hope. Maybe Mick will fall and break a hip!”

“I just got home from work! I actually had to do work today so I couldn't even amuse myself by spending my day on TT! And I have to be back in at 0500 tomorrow!”

“Ya mean yer poor, too???”

“workin for tha man.....”

“Damn the man!! Just got home myself. Oh joy.”

“Well back to work again!

This has got to be the first time in a long time that I had to work the whole weekend!

To say the least I am not happy!

8(”

“just a normal average workday for me....”

“I'm working too, no I mean I'm at work.”

“I gotta work, too...only off 19 weekends this year with the new schedule...sux big time!”

“I'm off 26 - work every other weekend”

“Back home now and have backpacking on the mind.I will make up for it next weekend by night backpacking on Friday night and then backpacking the weekend also.

8)”

“Sunday before noon --- wooo whooo, back in the office, and of course the first thing I have to do is log onto this thread. Nice and quiet, as I'm the only instructor in the house so far. It will be bedlam tomorrow morning, so I might as well "make hay" while I have the copier, laser printer, etc. to myself. Maybe I can make it home by the second playoff game.”

“i gotta leave this evening about 6 and drive 3 1/2 hrs and then work all night....sux 2 b me!”

“I'm back for another Saturday of working. Anyone else with me today?

Chili, where in the h@ll are you at today.”

“arky you never work alone on the weekends.... I work every weekend”

“I'm working this weekend. Gotta make a presentation on Monday and it's far from done! Ugh!”

“I have to show property today. At least I won't be stuck in an office.”

“I'm working today, AND tomorrow. The guy who works the opposite end of the week as I do won superbowl tickets and I'm covering for him.

God I hope the raiders lose. Sacramento is going to be unbearable for the next few months if they win...”

“Well, I guess it's good to know I'm not alone.”

“hey all, glad to know i'm not the only one not outside today...we finally got some above 0 temperatures and sunshine and here i sit...”

“I'm in for another 12.$$$$$$$$$$$$”

“Does cleaning the house for visiting relatives from He!! count?”

“Well, here I am stuck at work. Man I'm ready for a vacation.”

“I'm not working today, but I'm ready for that vacation.”

“Looks that way, Arky. Sorry about that.”
