Yeah, just one of those guy things that girls/women don't appreciate. But we know it takes skill and practice to achieve that feat.

I have always had a problem inverting numbers or letters. I can read it with no polrem. [:D] Had to eat crow just yesterday about zardoz1's name, but you already know that. I didn't invert anything just saw it wrong and typed it wrong. Funny thing is that is how I was seeing it all along not just once or twice.

Alex, just endorse that check and mail it to me. I will put it to good use for you. Who knows I might just really need it, there are good indication of a layoff today at work. Hope not, but the aircraft industy is either feast or famine and because of the super bad economy and 9-11 added to the bad economy things in the aircraft field are a little (actually a LOT) screwed up. I hope that tonight when I get back on the computer I can say I still have a job but don't know until I go to work. We have had a layoff about 1 year ago, now it looks like another one is very close at hand. Not a good thing at all.

ok here is what happened tonight at work.

Unfortunately we DID have a layoff or as the company put it a workforce reduction. HUH, fancy words for people loosing their jobs. [V] Do I still have a job? PRAISE GOD YES I DO, THANK YOU JESUS. But I am very sadden by anyone loosing their job. Most of the people who lost their jobs today were from what we call the back shops. These are people who do not work on the aircraft but make small parts that do go on the aircraft, or sew on the seats, or plate the cupholders, or work in the wood shop. This may sound mean but it is not meant to. These shops, for the most part, are separated from the hangars. They have their own buildings away from the hangars, so we don't see or talk to these people as much as we do people from the other hangars. If you work on the plane then you know most of the people who work on the plane even though they may be from another hangar. We get sent from our primary hangar to work in other hangars as needed. Now we are an aircraft completion center. The plane is made in France, or should I say assembled in France from parts made in several other countries. One section of the plane is made in Italy. The "green" plane is flown over here. It is "just" barely legal to fly. It has only the very basic equipment to make it legal to fly. There is nothing, like you would expect to see in a plane, in the plane. It even comes over with a portapotty, that is taken out and cleaned, then returned to France for the next plane. We add everything here according to the individual customers requests. These planes are meant for big shot CEOs and very rich people. These are not your everyday jets like you would take if you flew from point A to point B. These planes are very unique and make to order. You will not see any one plane that looks exactly alike any other plane on the inside. It takes alot of people to do what we do, but now there are less of us to do it. We are also going to start 32 hour work weeks. They say this will last until January. Yes, I still do have a job, but it is a sad day for many people here. My heart goes out to all who now have no job. [|)]

Now on a lighter note, I received this in my email this morning. I don't know how well it will copy and paste but here goes.

Ten Reasons To Go To Work Naked!

10. No one ever steals your chair.

9. Gives "bad hair day" a whole new meaning.

8. Diverts attention from the fact that you also came to work drunk.

7. People stop stealing your pens after they've seen where you keep them.

6. You want to see if it's like the dream.

5. To stop those creepy programmer guys from looking down your blouse.

4. "I'd love to chip in... but I left my wallet in my pants."

3. Inventive way to finally meet that 'special' person in Human Resources.

2. Can take advantage of your computer monitor radiation to work on your tan.

And...drum roll...the Number One reason to go to work naked :

Your boss will never say, "I wanna see your *** in here by 8:00!"
ever again.

A little rain wouldn't hurt either. Think you might arrange that too?

Now we have 2 votes for Ed


Jim - re cold - just remember you can always put on more clothes. And like Limitedclear found out, you can't always take them off.

Got rain - just made it more humid. Now we are steaming while we are cooking.

3 votes for Ed - he will probably pay one of his neighbors to vote for him......a true politician!

Jen



We had way to much fun with this thread to let it die so I am bringing it back to life. This thread is just like life, we have fun, food, and politicians, what more could you want other than a train or two and it had some of them too. So put on your thinking caps and post away.
