    Why am I here today?

    So it is a Federal holliday here in the states, I am a federal contractor working on the PBS helpdesk. The building is locked down and there are only the 12 support/engineers in the building. We have to work today as it is not a holliday for the company who we work for. I feel like a high school girl waiting for the telephone to ring...and it aint gunna happen. Oh wait the phone rang once today. It was a co-worker calling in late.


    Well that killed 35 seconds, only 7 hours, 59 minutes and 25 seconds to go...

    I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

    wow...that was one of the funniest things I have heard. Again I said I was a contractor. We are the lowest form of life in any gov't agency.

    But thanks for the laugh.

    Maybe you didn't catch what I said in a a few posts back, I am a contractor. Not a Federal employee so we get none of the good benifits...oh well I just took off a few hours and took the MCP test and passed!

    Next I will have to take a test that is actually hard...
