Wow! I know judith is powerful smart! But I didn't know she could see into the future.

Tell me Judith, will Ma or Alistair rescue me from my boat?

I'm on the Mote 'cause I'm getting paeolous close to my own money on Full Tilt. You wouldnever guess my handle-unless you're dumber that Bush.

21761. poipual - 5/9/2007 5:25:01 PM

I meant parolous

Al, what kind of a boat? And where is it?

Can't you read, man? Do you think I just made up a mythical place called Ilwaco, Wa.

It's a '73 23" Rienell

Please don't take me seriously-just goofing on ya a bit.

Good to see you back on the Mote! Us old geezers have to stick together and share our painfully acquired wisdom with the kiddies.

Correction: "We old geezers"

Lucky I caught that before Arky hit my knuckles with her ruler!

21771. arkymalarky - 5/11/2007 3:10:57 AM

Hey! That's correct usage south of the Mason-Dixon.

21772. wonkers2 - 5/11/2007 4:12:44 AM

Must be of several bad habits I picked up in my youth in Baton Rouge!

A good news update from the Ohio household!

A year ago, in Message # 19007, I told you about finally landing a good job after two years of un- and under-employment. Well, that job ended in late February. I was a "contract attorney"/"contingent worker" (i.e., a temp, even though long-term), and when the division had a bad year the bean-counters eliminated me. To my great disappointment, frustration, and bafflement, I was never offered "permanent" employment.

BUT . . . within a month I was interviewing for another attorney job with the same financial institution in a different area (commercial lending instead of residential mortgage lending) and I was just offered the job! I start a week from Monday. The job is here in Columbus, and it's at a different facility that is CLOSER to my house. And the pay is the same as my temp job (which was good pay), except now I get vacation, holidays, sick days, 401(k) etc. So things are looking REALLY good now.

I even had multiple opportunities to choose from. My former boss, the attorney who hired me for the temp job (and was later pushed out amid legal department turmoil) became general counsel of another financial institution in Richmond, Virginia. I was scheduled to interview there when I got the Columbus offer. But I want to stay in Columbus for the foreseeable future - and "VirginiaSTOPAS" would be a dumb name!

Congrats on the good news ohio...nothing like benes!

Hello you crazy kids.

21777. Ms. No - 5/11/2007 3:36:13 PM

Hiya Mac!


Ohio --- That's great news!! Congratulations!

21778. wonkers2 - 5/11/2007 5:38:13 PM

Great news, Ohio! I eke out a bit of pocket money representing claimants in unemployment compensation hearings. Some of the temp agencies don't treat their people very well and they lie like rugs in UC hearings.
