I would like to know exactly what is the matter with men that you can't be friendly to them and want them to be your friend without them thinking you are coming on to them and can't wait to get them in bed. Geez! Makes want to never talk to another one.

Trust me that is bad, supposely they didn't back up things since August, Teach you are right it should be alot of yelling and legal action I do know someone was fire already but not the two who should because one is best friends with the director and she gets away with alot of crap, if it was me I would be fired and she is on probation too. It was sent off site to and they didn't back it up since August and they are suppose to back it up every night.

Holy CRAP!! The supervisor oughta' be fired for allowing that to happen (and is probably the one ultimately responsible anyway)! Good luck working for the "monkeys" Sheila -- have you considered career.com??

Chili -- wanna' talk to my DH? He's friendly and would never act like that. :-)

I totally agree with you Teach! My daughter's school lost all saved emails and everything off their server. I questioned them as to why their tech why he didn't back-up their files. He pretended he didn't hear me. hmmmph.

Trust me I have been looking around for a job but I am not leaving a job until I have one. There is alot not legal stuff going on. Like she is letting her take a week off to go out of the country and she doesn't have alot of time, and calls in all the time.The one who is taking the time off doesn't even have a week of vacation plus supposely she gets overtime which I don't understand that. The supervisor should have been fired long ago because since she has taken over she has lost at least 25 people and I am not kidding either and she has been in charge for 3 yrs. not good. I hope the new commissioner takes a look at that and does something.

Heck, yes! I like talking to everyone. My husband doesn't act like that either. What's the matter with guys anyway?

Lol Costa, I am always on that page of being against cliques.

My gripe, its 9:30 am in NY and I havent heard from my boy so he is either in Houston, or on his way to Dallas, or who the heck knows where the airlines will send him today. So I am stuck inside my house waiting to hear. The upside is I pulled my refrigerator out and cleaned behind it(a task I hate).

Oh no thanks Texannie. Apparently they never went to Dallas. They are staying the night in Houston, flying back tomorrow to Newark New Jersey and I will pick him up at Newark. They are putting them up in a hotel tonight (which may or may not have had something to do with the stink I caused with the company organizing this trip, resulting in the High School calling me telling me they were on it -- I just couldnt see these kids flying to Dallas and winging it from there, especially with a snow storm headed this way)

How many freakin' phone books do people really need?? I got four more of them dropped on my doorstep today. That brings the total to seven!!!! (two from US West DEX, four from Verizon, and one from Yellow Book). Good grief! I never use these anymore. Wish I could opt out somehow. As it is, they go straight into the recycle bin. What a waste!

OMG(osh) Max! I was just complaining to someone the other day about that very thing! at least once a month or so someone is dropping a new one on my porch. And yep, I pick them up off the porch and toss them straight into the recycle bin.

Me too, Wargod. How many freakin' phone books do we need? It's just too many times for me to sing my "the new phone book's here, now I'm somebody" song from The Jerk. They've taken the joy out of it.

I reckon the number of phone books somewhat correlates to the number of phone companies offering local service in your area. I get Verizon, Qwest, and the Plaid Pages.

Yep - I'm on the "why so many new phone books" thing too.

Hey folks - do as I do & clip those pizza coupons before you toss it in recycle. Works for me.

I'm not even listed in the dang things.

Oh! - on top of that, if you manage an office, you get like 10 or so of each one. I clip my coupons (never pay full price for a pizza) & toss them in the schredder bin.

We have three phone lines in our home and office. So we get three of every version. It is nuts. It goes straight to the recycle pile. No need for it anymore what with the new-fangled interweb and all that.

Juju, I'm getting multiple copies of the same phone book! One of them I get a new copy every 1-2 months!
