Maire | Saturday, March 24, 2001 - 08:59 pm  As for me, I know nothing else but miracles, Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan, Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky, Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water, Or stand under the trees in the woods, Or talk by day with any one I love, Or sleep in bed at night with any one I love, Or watch honey bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon... Or the wonderfulness of the sundown, Or of stars shining so quiet and bright, Or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring... What stranger miracles are there? Walt Whitman |
Norwican | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 07:06 am  I would appreciate any good vibes that could be sent my way today. We have an important presentation to give to a potential client. This deal would be HUGE to our company. We have worked very hard on the design and engineering of this project... it has been almost a year in the making. I have painted my toe nails "lucky" orange... but sometimes that isn't enough.  |
Elitist | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 07:48 am  Good vibes, good vibes, good vibes. |
Rollerboy | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 08:07 am  Norwican, just remember that you are a true professional and the best there is at what you do. You've paid your dues, done your homework and refined and polished your presentation till it shines like an investment grade gemstone. You exude competence and confidence and NOOOOOBOOODDEEE knows more about or could do a better job on this project than you and your team. Now, put on your game face, go into that conference room and BLOW THEIR DOORS OFF!!! P.S. re the toe nails, you might want to consider closed toe shoes |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 08:29 am  I go with Rollerboy. You go Nor!! |
Digilady | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:08 am  Go for it NOR! You'll get it. And let us know when! |
Norwican | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:21 am  O.K. we're off to razzle-dazzle 'em! Thanks for the encouragement and good wishes! Absolutely on the closed-toe shoes Rollerboy... thanks for the pep talk If we get this deal... a round of virtual drinks for everyone (top shelf of course)! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:31 am  Orange toes will definately cinch it. Good luck. |
Soeur | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 10:31 am  Yeah, Norwican! You've probably clinched the deal by now and are in post-presentation cooldown mode. Let us know how it went... |
Willi | Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 05:11 pm  Hope it went well Norwican...Sending positive thoughts your way. It's funny...I always paint my toenails purple for luck Let us know how it worked out. |
Norwican | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 07:04 am  Thanks everyone for the good thoughts! We got a verbal agreement and client will sign early next week! The salesperson just needs to tweak a couple things on the contract. We were up against 2 other companies and the client said that our proposal blew the competition out of the water even though our price was a little higher! Ah, the power of orange toe nails and good vibes! |
Elitist | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 07:55 am  Congrats Nor! Now lets talk about that bonus. |
Elitist | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 07:58 am  Ah the joys of fatherhood. This hectic morning I cut my finger pretty good trying to cut holes in the top of a jar so my son could have an insect container for his pre-school. Then even though I know we bought some yesterday, when I went to take my shower there was no bath soap, so I ended up using my wife's body wash instead. So now here I am at work with a Barney bandage on my finger, exuding a "light, feminine scent" and getting strange looks from the others in the office. It doesn't get much better than this. |
Norwican | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 09:03 am  ROFL Elit! Aw, there's nothing cuter than a grown man with a goofy purple dinosaur on his bandage. <no comment on the feminine scent> LOL |
Grooch | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 09:08 am  Reminds me of the time I hit my hand on the broiler and burnt all my fingers. I went to work for a week with Winnie-The-Pooh bandaids around all my fingertips. People kept asking me if it was some new fashion statement. That was also the day my new boss from from France started. I was so embarrassed shaking his hand. |
Willi | Thursday, March 29, 2001 - 11:46 am  Great job Nor!
Elitist...I'm sure you smell simply mahvelous. |
Wink | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 06:43 am  A little belated here but I want to send out some warm fuzzies to Willi and Nor too. Good luck to you both in your important quests. |
Rollerboy | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 07:03 am  Congrats on a job well done Nor |
Willi | Friday, March 30, 2001 - 10:19 am  Thanks Wink. Sometimes I just need to look up for things to "look up."

Norwican | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 06:57 am  I was not around here last week at all so do not know what has transpired around here. My Dad passed away 4/16/01 after a lengthy hospitalization. I would like to thank everyone for their good thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. In particular... Nos, Digi, Elit, and Willi. Soeur you could never know how much the "birthday in heaven" statement helped me. And thank you to everyone else for providing me with laughs, competition (Lance and Wink especially ) and a distraction to a heart breaking real life situation. Looks like I have a lot to read to get caught up... so I better get started! |
Zeb | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 08:13 am  Hi Nor. You haven't missed anything out of the ordinary but you might want to save the read for later. I'm sorry to hear about your dad and hope you heal inside quickly. |
Misslibra | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 08:44 am  Nor, I am so sorry to hear this about your Dad. My Dad is still alive so I can only imagine what it must feel like to lose a parent. My deepest sympathy goes out to you. |
Grooch | Monday, April 23, 2001 - 09:02 am  Norwican, I'm very sorry about your father. |
