Glad you guys are having fun at my expense since I have no friggin' clue what's going on.

[John_fromNY]

"Ooooh nooo" said Mr Bill .... It's not to offend you... in anyway.. Tony...

But you'll figure it out real soon!! Right Bossman?? Just keep reading along.

That's OK Dego boy, All the Timers is a terrible thing....

[Tony D.]

Bossman, you're getting up in years yourself so isn't that the pot calling the kettle black, lol? Of course, we're still youngin's compared to a certain gentlemen here but his age hasn't slowed him down as much as mine has, LOL. It's pretty bad when your whole body aches from shoveling snow, that may be a hint it's time to get back to the gym.

[WalterB]

A "certain gentleman??" Donor, they're pickin' on you again.

[Tony D.]

Oh, could I make a comment here but I'm holding my tongue, LMAO! I've been pissing off quite a few people lately so I don't need any enemies here. I tell ya, some people just can't take sarcastic humor. Good thing we all know it's just fun.

Hey Tony,

Sarcastic Humor... what's that??? ... Hehe...

Anyway, we all know that you are busy at work and at home...That's cool.

Are you getting snow? Today on Long Island where I am in New York, we got a dusting --- which isn't bad except that it makes driving really treacherous coupled with the icy roads. Yikes. Tonight the commute was an hour and 15 minutes... Normally, it's like 25 minutes.

Write when you can.

So Tony and John are still dealing with snow, huh? Well, at least I was smart enough to solve that li'l problem. We had a 3' snowfall in Denver. So, I put a snow shovel over my shoulder and started walking south. I walked for days. When I reached the outskirts of El Paso, some guy said, "Hey Mister! What's that you've got on your shoulder?" I knew then that this was where I wanted to live.

Great story Walt!

TonyD? Who is TonyD? Think I remember him from way back.... have to rewind the memory tapes..... OH YEAH! Isn't he the guy that used to do the website security around here? OH YEAH! And he was gonna update this board too? Remember him? lol...

(Tony has not cornered the market on sarcasm, lol, and I'm just teasing you Tony, I know you are stressed out at work)

Are we getting snow? Like almost 50 inches already. Nearly 2 hours to go 9 miles tonight. The county has run out of road salt and the plows aren't out so all roads are snow-packed and treacherous. Passed 3 VERY bad accidents on the way home. And I have 7 feet of snow piled on each side of my driveway. I cant' see if anyone's coming when I back out.

Work? Double-shift until we either succeed or the entire engineering team will be fired. That's how they motivated us last Friday. Nice huh? Man, I feel motivated knowing that either I work 16 hours a day or I'm fired.

I love how this board turns into an all out bitch session....

[Tony D.]

Hey Vicky, if upgrading the board is so easy, why don't you do it yourself?

(see, there's my sarcastic humor again, and I know you know I'm only joking)

It's great to be able to take jabs without offending each other. I jab at Bossman all the time and he comes back at me full blast. Vicky and I used to do that too but she's become so mild-mannered now - must be that British influence rearing its ugly head.

Oh yeah, and one more thing we say engineers say... If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'm off to fix stuff that's REALLY broken - if you'd like, I can break the message board Vicky...

........... who you callin ugly....

[corrrrVette]

we have that way with people us Brits Tony....... we're too calm to go with everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

[Tony D.]

I know all about you Brits, I worked with a few BT guys for 4 years. Underneath that polite exterior are those deep subtle jabs that the British accent makes so hard for us Yanks to understand. I think I was insulted a few times by those BT guys but their accent was so thick, I didn't get half of what they said, LOL. Not to mention the Monty Python style inside jokes that usually went over my head. Hell, I'd watch Monty Python every week and if I got a quarter of the jokes, I considered myself lucky.

BTW, in case anyone was wondering what I gave up for Lent...shoveling snow. Yeah, that's right, I'm a hypocrite and the snow is staying on my driveway turning it into a death trap for anyone trespaasing on my property. LOL, my death trap got me the other night, I went after the dog and down on my ass. Damn that hurt! I want all of you to bring your hair dryers and help me melt the 6 feet of ice at the edge of my driveway.

P.S. No, I don't know how many meters this is and I'm too damn lazy to calculate it.

Hey Tony,

Are the people you work for... assholes?? ... That is like the second time I've heard you complaining about them. Didn't you have to cut your vacation in Las Vegas short because of them? (Hurrying back to complete a certain project) -- now this.

Do the hours, and the work.. but don't stress out over all of this. No need to make this into a major catastrophe. Or even let them get to you. But also don't take their sh*t too, (as them taking advantage of you is not right either) -- if it can't get done in sixteen hours, then don't lose sleep over it. Come back to it tomorrow when you are more coherent and awake. Okay?? !!! As that is the motto to keep in your head, "I won't let them get to me."

Please try not to react in anger, bitterness, hositlity or resentment when the bosses ask you something. Just remember, that in this bad economy it means you can't afford not to be working. Count your blessings that you are working presently. Be grateful for the time being. If you aren't happy there, just play your cards right, and wait... maybe in the spring??.. then start looking for another job. As maybe the economy will pick up at that time when there will be more engineering opportunities.

Ciao.

John

Protect your ass Tony and ditch the dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, next time the area is covered in the 'white stuff', you wont go out for the dog, so savin ur ass from impacting with the concrete, sorted Tony , oops, is that my subtle Brittish humour there !!!!!!
