Check-in Thread #96: Almost Spring Version

[RJDiogenes]

Wow, I've been here over fifteen minutes and it didn't time out. Maybe we're in the clear. Knock on wood.

The oldest of the roadrunner chicks has been out of the nest this morning, though he's not going far just hopping around on the rack the nest sits on.

The moment of truth is almost upon us....

Still in the nest though. I did see Gimpy stuff and entire sparrow down the gullet of the oldest. I swear they must be all stomach.

[RJDiogenes]

I'm still here, with no timeouts!

How did everyone else do today?

Or part snake.

Probably a teenager. Pretty soon he'll be getting FUIs (flying under the influence).

There may be a job change for me in the near future. Internal transfer, not a different company. Fingers crossed.

How cool. Does it mean more money, and maybe more enjoyable work?

This evening, we have my nephew's 11th birthday party. I'm not understanding how it is possible for him to already be 11-years-old.

Happy birthday to your nephew. Was there chocolate at the party?

[RJDiogenes]

Good morning, everyone.

It's Friday, and hopefully the timeouts will remain a thing of the past.

How cool. Does it mean more money, and maybe more enjoyable work?

Very likely a little bit more money, but a less stressful situation.

when they ring - and if they dont i shall call tuesday.

Good luck. I hope they call today.

Happy Friday, everyone

Today hordes of high school seniors who have been accepted for admission will be all over our campus. I volunteered to give a lecture on heroism to them and their parents. I actually enjoy meeting the parents more than the students.

They're predicting "severe weather" today, too -- a very high threat of big storms, high winds, and power outages

indian tucker on monday

What's indian tucker? Is that a food?

Very likely a little bit more money, but a less stressful situation.

That would be wonderful. When will you know?

Hope y'all have a great day

Good morning!

The doctor is giving my coworker and I a short day today. He is Jewish, so he thought that he needed to give us a break for Good Friday, since it is a "religious holiday". Unfortunately, I need the time to prepare everything for Monday.

Tonight, I plan to color Easter eggs, and go to church.

scottydog, there was no chocolate to be found at this birthday party. My nephew wanted a strawberry cake. This younger generation of kids do not have the same appreciation of chocolate, as we do. My husband's nieces do not like chocolate cake. Addison does not like chocolate at all (I told her she could not possible be related to me). They all like vanilla more than chocolate. I fear for the state of our planet, once they are all adults.

I hope the road runners stick around.

I hope you get the transfer, RJ.

Good afternoon!
Sorry about the cryptical test message - I was just about to edit it when I got a timeout.
So far there is no clear pattern to the timeouts. I'm still at a loss what might cause them and therefore I can't say when they'll end. If they persist after Easter I shall contact the technitians. Not much use doing it now, I think, as during the Holidays there will be only a basic crew to deal with vital emergencies.

[Lupine]

^If it's any help I haven't gotten any timeouts and I'm here around usually between 7:00 and 8:00 am PST and occasionally around 3:00.

Good morning, all.

I'm having my own technical difficulties as I was having trouble with this computer earlier. I think it has to do with Firefox though as I'm currently on Opera at the moment.

[Cayla]

I have not had any issues with the time outs all week.

[RJDiogenes]

Good evening, everyone.

And the week from Hell has finally been Harrowed.

They're predicting "severe weather" today, too -- a very high threat of big storms, high winds, and power outages

We had crazy wind here today.

That would be wonderful. When will you know?

Probably in a few weeks. This is essentially a job that a few of us have already been doing as part of our regular job for a few years, but they're spinning off a whole new area so they have to post the jobs. Which means interviewing and stuff. I've been there since the start (and my boss says the job description says "someone like Rick"), so I'm pretty confident that I'll get it.

I fear for the state of our planet, once they are all adults.

This frightens me more than The Donald does.

I hope you get the transfer, RJ.

Thank you very much. I'm pretty confident, but not taking anything for granted.

I think we're free of the timeouts! I haven't had any in over 24 hours. I actually meant to text you today, but I got slammed again and now it's too late. I will do it sometime over the weekend when I know you're awake.

Maybe a corrupt plug-in or something?

It's weird how it affected different people more severely and at different times.

I ended up refreshing Firefox but had to spent some time putting everything back together (IE, all my bookmarks, my home page, and the search bar).

[RJDiogenes]

What a pain in the neck. I hope that fixed it.

[Lupine]

So far so good.
