Good morining all!
First, I'm glad that you had a nice day yesterday, Bruce. The play reading sounds like it was fun!
Forgive me but what was the purpose of it? I mean, what is the next step? Is it going to be on stage someplace? Does that mean that you might be on stage with it?
Michael, I would like to congratulate you on your excellent taste in flat panel monitors. You don’t know it but I bought the very same brand (A Xerox 17") last Sunday. I have been enjoying it ever since. Did you get yours at Best Buy? I have a hundred dollar rebate to send in from there for it. I waited because I wanted to make sure I wanted to keep it.
I'm finding that it IS much, much easier on my eyes.
I know what you mean about not being able to use the net or send/receive e-mails while at work. Sometimes I’m dying because it’s right in front of me and I can’t use it. But working for the government we are told that the news media monitor those kind of things.
Since I work in HR, I know that people get written up for it all the time. That’s why I don’t do it. I love you all but I have this thing about having money to buy food, dog bones and internet access at home.
Jane, are you sure about Echo? The way I read it, Keith (no disrespect) found out about it on the net but is it confirmed through your vet?
TCB, you know I was just joshing you. But for that I will tell you my Nathan’s Shrimp story. Those with a weak stomach may not wish to read this.
I worked for a seafood plant many years ago and they had the contract for Nathan’s. I used to love it when our line ran that shrimp because the batter smelled so good. It was different from the junk we always ran. You could tell there were spices and eggs and all kinds of good stuff in it.
Well, one day we were doing a run of it and several people, including me, noticed there were bugs in the batter. The whole line was stopped and the big wigs were called down to have a look. After about 10 minutes of discussion, the order came to run it anyway. Ugh. We were told no one would notice the extra crunch. Double ugh.
Soon after that, we lost the Nathan’s contract. I guess someone must have noticed, huh?
It started an investigation on other matters and could I tell you some stories about some other things that went on. Needless to say, the shrimp plant went out of business not very long after that.
I know anyone that works with food could tell you horror stories but I can only speak for what I have seen and can tell you: I don’t like seafood. And I refuse to eat shrimp.
I do love Nathans hot dogs, however. We buy them at grocery store down here. Can you get them at the store in NYC?
