Yes. Do it.

It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Excellent! I'll wait 'til the heat cools off, then I'll post this on the bulletin board in the lunch room! (w/your permission and credit, of course!) and ZZ - ain't happenin'. DW gave me the "..." response when it came up today. Ah well, next year then.

Q - yours for the taking - and no credit necessary. You did all the hard work, and dealt with the aftermath. Big grin

MTA: I have a friend who runs the help desk at a local school software support agency - he is forevermore going to be referred to as "The Keyboard Jockey".

Just Mother's Day. Woo woo. Tell her if she lets you run 5/3 you will take her here for the food trough: Double JJ. That's how I'm replenishing myself the day after the race. Evil grin

Firstly: GETM. HA! And also, I never understood why the place is called the "Double JJ". It's akin to "The La Trattoria". No? Seriously, if pronounced as written it's the Double Jay-Jay. So four J's then? WTF? Bah, decent golf course though. Managed to muck my way around it last year for the first time. Sorry, just rambling today. And happy to still have an office from whence to ramble!!! Smile

They could call it Double Vajayjay...that would get really confusing.

I would reply with, "well, I guess I HAVE eaten there", but I don't want to offend anyone...

Yep. I JUST did it. Knee-jerk reaction to a client email. There has been a long standing "relationship" issue w/this client and I did nothing to help the cause today. The person in question sent an email in to us, copying everyone under the sun, and basically came right out and called me a liar. In a furious 45 second span I responded in kind, w/the intention of sending it ONLY to my boss w/my take on the situation. Instead, my dumbass, in the heat of battle, hits the "reply to all" button and fired off a rather, ahem, terse explanation of how things went down. The fallout should be...interesting. I am such a dumbass.

It's still funny.

Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.
