Hey Twinks, thanks! They are just adorable, love-you-to-pieces dogs. It's a joy to watch them!

Actually, this job is through the franchise I work for to get a start (as SCORE had recommended I do--to learn the do's and don'ts of the business). And it was one of the smartest things I have done--cuz I have picked up so much from how FETCH runs its business. I will be mirroring much of what they do on their forms and policies in my business, so no need to re-invent the wheel, so to speak. Little things, too, that I would have only discovered after having blundered. So I will continue to work with FETCH until my logo is ready and the website is almost ready to roll.

"R" (Biscotiii, you nut!) is an abbreviation convention that I thought everyone followed! So thanks for asking!

"R," when used in a phrase with just first letter abbreviations for the days of the week, stands for Thursday. The use of the "R" rather than a "T" is to circumvent confusion over two "T's" since Tuesday, of course, starts with "T."

I guess I picked that up in school (where my teachers used that all the time). Again, I thought everyone did that--so very glad you asked.

Am I the only one who uses that abbreviation convention?

LOL, no, Bisc is the only person in the universe who hasn't.

Congrats on everything starting to fall into place for you, Herck!!

Bisc Be Educated Now!

Worked as a secretary for 17 yrs of my 31 yr career and had never seen nor heard that Thursday is now Rhursday. Perhaps a Westcoast phenomena. Most folks stuck to a 2 char stance, i.e. Th, when abbreviations were so necessary.

Yes, congrats on finding such a fun and busy job! Plus learning the tricks to the trade, Herc, while you're building your own business!

Hee hee, Bisc. I'm an East-Coaster! I think it was just a teacher thing.

Thanks, Sweetie. I am having a blast. Got a wonderful email from Sebastian and Stella's owner yesterday, too! (Smartly passed it along to my boss, who gave me a warm-fuzzy right back.) I'm a happy camper, for sure.

Nothin' new to me either! I've used it at workplaces in Colorado and Michigan as well as in school.

Yup, Landi's a loveable old fart.

landi, I'll get that Huk for you. Thanks for coming to my rescue, Kar and BR! (I was beginning to doubt my sanity there!)

But honestly, Huk and BR, that landi IS old, isn't she?!!!

Nothing new here either, HP. Our junior college also uses R on it's class schedule, but I don't remember it being anything different than what I was used to when I first saw it.

Brag, brag: Got this--after doing my pet walk this afternoon and then taking a 4-hour course (5pm-9pm) way downstate. The class was held in Seaford, a 2+ hour drive from here. Just got home a bit ago.

Congrats, HP.

And I never even heard of using R for Thursday, and I have lived quite a few places in the U.S. and am almost as old as HP.
