OK happy news mama got a cat to take care of the mice. So daddy will have a pet and hopefully be less annoying.

I think I'd be happy simply to get rid of the mice...

I think I just picked up another class next semester -- which means I now have TWO completely new preps to do over the break. But since it's a lit class, I'm happy.

The income doesn't hurt either.

Escriba, that's a scary story, and I'm glad you're okay.

Three days 'til I go home for break!

Oh my, Escriba! :shock: I'm glad you're all right after that accident.

It's getting slippery here too, so I'd better be careful when I drive.
She's got an awfully nice bum!

:guffaw: If it's a girl please tell, I haven't really had anyone to tease in that department in ages. Dang everybody I know is either married and pregnant or sworn to be forever bachelors. Those however who are married decided 2010 was going to be baby year.

Escriba wrote:I had a car accident yesterday, which, I know, would be considered a bad new. But I'm alive, and almost unscathed, so that's great news.

I had a lot of luck, actually. It was snowing and I saw a traffic jam several meters before me. I slowly braked, but I guess there was ice on the road, because I lost control from the rear part. Anyway, I took control of the car and stopped in the hard shoulder, without more incident. But like a minute later, when I was starting the engine to drive the car to the main road, I felt a BIG hit from behind. Last thing I'm conscious of, after two minutes recovering from the head pain, is a white car blocking my side's door. And I had to wait until the police and the ambulance come (because the other side was blocked by the crash barrier).

I'm just grateful because my car was parallel to the main road, so the other car hit me from behind. If I didn't took control of the car and it had been in diagonal at that moment... Well, let's say that I wouldn't be writing this.

So I'm happy because I'm alive :happyjump:

I am gratefull too, nothing serious has happened. Please take care of yourself. :hug:

Except for the required office Christmas luncheon tomorrow, I'm off work until January 4th. :happyjump: :happyjump: :happyjump:

I also have a Christmas party to put on for umpteen people in TWO DAYS and my house is a mess and I still have to bake the bread and cook the gumbo and clean and decorate and all kinds of stuff!!! *rushes off frantically to the grocery store*

yeah we got HOSED this year on holiday vacation. I'm working every day except Christmas, possibly Christmas Eve if it gets approved, and New Years Day. Well, then I decided to take a week Jan 8 -13 to go see my dad and nieces. That'll be nice... but I wish I could've done it over christmas. They didn't tell us soon enough for me to book it without it being astronomically expensive. Apparently we didn't make enough money this year :neutral: but you should see all the waste. We just GIVE $700 cameras away when they break because 1. our vendor blows and 2. our salesmen blow.

I have become thoroughly convinced that the entire technical support industry has evolved into a "catch all" slop fest for "never-intended-to-work-the-way-we-advertised-in-the-first-place."

Just taught my last classes of the semester.

Now I just have to finish grading...

And plan two brand-new classes for next semester.

And fix everything I did wrong this semester for the same class.

Oh yeah, and do Christmas.

But it's still happy news.
