15490. arkymalarky - 6/15/2005 12:01:04 AM I hope all goes well, Judith! I guess it's too late for you to know today? 15491. arkymalarky - 6/15/2005 12:02:19 AM In the bag? 15492. Magoseph - 6/15/2005 11:55:55 AM Hello, Mac, Ali, and everyone--I have been up for three hours and guess what I was doing until this moment. 15493. PelleNilsson - 6/15/2005 12:05:29 PM Filing your toe nails? 15494. Magoseph - 6/15/2005 12:32:04 PM That's one, Pelle. 15495. Macnas - 6/15/2005 1:13:16 PM I don't know Mago, tell us. 15496. thoughtful - 6/15/2005 1:24:03 PM Thanks for the advice wonks. You're right. The secret to a good speech is to have a really good beginning, a really good ending and make sure those two come as close together as possible.
It is really embarrassing for the audience when a presenter is drunk. We were at some big dinner celebration for a firm and the pres was clearly potted, yet he was expected to introduce the next speakers and so on. Imagine how embarrassing as he essentially said goodbye thanks for coming to everyone even though we'd gone less than half-way through the agenda, which of course was printed up and at everyone's place setting. At that point, a 'second in command' took over and did the rest of the event. Not a good thing. He was also the one who sent me a thank you note afterward thanking me for the presentation i gave, though I'd given none. And yes, he's still running the co! 15497. thoughtful - 6/15/2005 1:24:22 PM mags, hanging wallpaper?
15498. Magoseph - 6/15/2005 7:03:30 PM Ah, no, I was just getting the place spruced up for an important visitor this afternoon. We have an interest in a business building and a buyer coming over to sign the papers this afternoon. I am thrilled because Flexy will have more time to take care of himself now. He does not need the aggravation he was having lately about this place. 15499. thoughtful - 6/15/2005 7:55:41 PM that sounds like lots more fun than hanging wall paper. Glad to drop aggravation...invest wisely and enjoy the proceeds instead. 15500. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 7:29:37 AM alistairconnor, thank you so much for posting your link to the Windows Sharepoint Services.
I was scared and couldn't click on it before. There's good stuff there.
hands fluttering in confusion
Believe it or not,gang - I've gone and gotten myself a job where I can wear flirty skirts and heels!
This is a big departure from anything I've ever done.
larky, potentially very exciting. But of course!
thoughtful. thanks. 15501. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 7:30:10 AM
Was it Thoreau? Who said beware of a profession that requires new clothes?
Or more exactly after a google: Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.
Wish me luck.... 15502. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 7:57:46 AM That's terrific, Ulgine-Bonne chance! 15503. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 8:20:42 AM Hi Magoseph!
What's your favorite shade of flower? 15504. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 8:31:05 AM Purple, here.
Yellow is a close second.
Red & Pink last place. 15505. Magoseph - 6/16/2005 8:43:50 AM I had to think about this--I'd say white. I love lillies of the valley, camelias and orchids. 15506. Macnas - 6/16/2005 8:50:04 AM Well done UB, best of luck. 15507. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 8:58:51 AM Ah, you're a gardener after my own heart.
White sets off EVERYthing. 15508. Ulgine Barrows - 6/16/2005 9:03:37 AM Macnas, your advice to not panic ---thankx!
It's going unheeeded, all the same. 15509. alistairconnor - 6/16/2005 9:54:35 AM Tell us more bout that job!
Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.
A man after my heart, this Thoreau... it's about time I read him. But I fear I may be getting into such enterprises.
Not ones which require fluttery skirts, in case you're wondering... but conceivably something that will pass for a suit and tie. An old friend and colleague who I haven't seen for a couple of years, but was thinking of calling this week... calls me with the prospect of an interesting job.
