    What, they force you to sit at your station the whole time, without even
    a break....? That is definitely cruel..... :)

    Sometimes when no one is looking I'll stand up for a few minutes. :)

    Oh, good.... :)

    Been busy all this week. Along with my weekends I was called in to
    fill in Tuesday evening for a woman who's husband had taken ill, then working today and tomorrow as well. Whew, 40 hours this week. Just slaving away... Joe

    You certainly have been busy.... :) Raking in the big bucks, too, I'd
    imagine, with that sort of hours.... ;) Saving for your next trip...?

    Its so funny. Marshall employees, who have known me for years, ask "I thought you were retired?" and I reply "I thought I was as well".
    Then add how A1 and Marshall are lost without me, don't know what to do,
    how to do it, where to do it, etc. :)

    Saving for your next trip...?

    Partly.
    I have enough on retirement and savings to get along comfortably. (Of
    course my expenses are low (no car, no house, not married, etc).
    What I make goes directly into the bank and generally stays there. Or,
    as I like to call it, whatever I make is all gravy. :)
    And its not like I'm doing any heavy labour.
    I'm at a counter in a lobby, the building is still on lock down, limited access, employees with swipe cards, etc. Not much to do.
    Weekends I take my laptop and any weekday is a tablet, and do pretty much there what I would be doing at home and getting paid for it.
    It could be worse, I could be expected to actually do something
    productive. :)

    I thought that was what being moderator of MEMORIES was. <g,d,r>

    Reminds me of the cartoon, where the old man and old woman have
    apparently been sitting on this bench for a long time. The old man
    says "My butt has fallen asleep from sitting too long" (which can
    happen). His wife replies "I can hear it snoring". :P

    Sounds like a Pickles cartoon... ;)

    I don't use the stuff... but I think it has to do with needing to
    stretch out the skin around the eyes to apply it evenly....

    I'm not sure...but I never heard of that one. All the good comic
    strips are gone.

    Janice didn't care for much makeup, either.

    Which, even if you are kidding, apparently has more than just a grain of

    And makes more money while you think of something special to do with
    it... ;)

    Best of both worlds... and the occasional passerby to kibbitz with... ;)
