x:-) How True! There are three kinds of people in the workplace. Those who think we are a necessary evil and only will come around us as a last resort, when they are in a corner; those who are scared to death of us and won't get near us; and, those who do the same kind of work we do and will speak to us on a regular basis.
I try to not view these as personal attacks, they are people sharing their opinion. It is good to hear all sides of a debate rather we agree or not. However, I think this thread has run its course.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-05-03 AT 07:39AM (CST)[/font][p]As I learned early on Paul, one may start a thread at will, but is not able to stop it. I tried to get several of my own to end but learned it was in vain. These things tend to take on minds of their own and head in all sorts of directions, once launched. It's kinda like throwing a bent boomerang.
(EDIT) My error. I meant to say, 'As I learned early on SCOTT. I tend to mix Scott and Paul up sometimes. But, hey, I've been confused with Andy Rooney, so it ain't the worst thing on earth.
Which brings to mind a Biblical joke I heard today. A man and wife were arguing about who should 'do' the coffee preparation in the mornings. The wife claimed he should, since he's up earlier than she. He felt she should since coffee making is a part of housekeeping and of course the women must do that. She countered that The Bible clearly specified men as those responsible for making coffee. He exclaimed that was ridiculous, shouting that The Bible never once even mentioned coffee. Her response was to pick up the King James version on the coffee table, flip it open and point out to him, "Look right here, on seven successive pages, At the top of each page, it clearly says HEBREWS!
Which reminds me, I had perfect attendance pins for 14 straight years and won more Bible drills than most in my class. Used to know the books by heart, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Duteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth Samuel..I forget. I digress; Sorry to offend.
It was dead for 12 days. With any luck, it will die for good during the coming night.

We have to wait three days though, right?
