Good Morning everyone. I am so behind. I haven't been able to log in at work because our internet access was taken away until a few days ago and I was only able to check out the Dis a few times from home.
The lack of internet access is due unfortunate events at my place of employment. I work in the marketing department of a wholesale mortgage company that specializes in non-prime lending. We are privately owned and managed by a capital holdings company that owns other mortgage related companies. On March 15th, the holding company layed off almost 3,000 people, about 55% of the entire workforce. My company lost about 1,000 people and my department went from 37 to 12. Though I still have a job, they are moving us to another location, which will increase my drive by about 20 minutes, and that's if I leave the house by 7am. By 7:30 the traffic would be a total nightmare. The people who were laid off got 2 months severence and insurance coverage. I actually wish I had been let go so I would have 2 months pay while I looked for a new job. I hate that this is happening because this job has been pretty good to me - flexible hours, relatively good pay.
I know the jobs in this industry are market driven, but it was so hard watching everyone leave and the last two weeks, morale has been so low, that it's a struggle coming to work everyday.
Anyway, that's my story. I am glad I have the Dis and am now looking forward to this cruise more than ever.
Now to try to ketchup a bit.
Happy to be able to "talk" to you all again.
So sorry about your work! I hope things get better soon!

Just had to come back and share. Even though announcements were not supposed to happen until tomorrow, my boss just had a converstaion with me.
I STILL HAVE A JOB!
I won't be working for the same boss or even the same kind of work. I got slotted for another position within the company. I was targetted for getting laid off because I'm not working on one of the major projects right now. But my boss and her director lobied for me and found me something.
Now I'm going to miss the pirate run.....unless you all are kind enough to wait a few hours.....I'm about to hit the 75 min commute....
Glad to hear the good news!

Greetings from Minneapolis![]()
We sat on the runway in Anchorage for an hour last night, so I missed my connections (yes plural). I'm bouncing to RI. Anchorage, Minneapolis, Detroit, Providence. Now I won't hit RI until 3:25. The wake starts at 4.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I CAN'T FIND THE CINNABON!
So if anyone wantneeds a neck pillow, a Paul Bunyan postcard, Golden Gopher grear, a MN lotto ticket or an iPod from a vending machine, just let me know sometime in the next few hours - K?
Sorry your trip is being delayed. At least you have us to talk to!

OH bonus for my tavels plans being delayed 5 hours (so far).
Let's see how well you have all gotten to know me during the last 2 months.
Which will I choose:
250 airline miles
Free in-flight beverage (cocktail, beer, wine)
hmmmm... decisions, decisions....
I'd say you went for the cocktail! I know I would've!
Morning all - although I suppose it's getting close to afternoon for many of you.
I want to know who sent the germs over the DIS? My SPT woke up vomitting this morning. Very odd for him. I can count on 1 hand how many times in his life he has actually had something come up. He is rarely sick.
Actually, it's mostly likely due to the 'game' they played at youth group last night. Who could chug the drink fast enough. The drink consisted of milk, chocolate syrup, veggie baby food, hot sauce, banana....not sure what else?? Not sure I want to know. Sent him off to school anyway. Payback to his teacher who just happens to be one of the youth counselors!!!
M - you are in rare form this morning. Glad to see you are keeping your humor in all this.
Yep sounds like that "game" would've done it! Just the sounds of it, makes me want to be

I find it interesting that there are so many of us who LOVE to DIS, and yet have spouses who do not understand.![]()
I was just thinking that since my DH doesn't have softball games tonight (called off by the City of Phoenix in recognition of Cesar Chavez Day) then I most likely won't be in Chat.
![]()
I love to see the "couples" who DIS together.....and wish that we were that type.
Yep sounds like us! DH is working a double today & I'm secretly thrilled so I can chat without guilt! Shhhhh!

Hello Everyone.. just a quick hello.. Ihave to go get the kids at 245. I promised them I would buy them new sell phones for their birth days.. That are the chances they both would have B'days in APRIL??
I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my chest.. had the taxes done today. phew.. and we get money back too!! Thank GOD for kids!!i knew they would come in handy some day!! I told my daughter she had to pay and she said..( in a long drawn out voice) "are you kidding me, mom I dont get paid that much"..lol.
i think this is the yr that financial responsibility tkes over,,lol![]()
Ok I have to go.. take care and maybe I will be on later tonight for chat..
Bye everyone..

All I can say is....OMG! Do not feed the DISeased!!!

A sure fire way to tell you've been spending too much time DISing is when you're talking to someone who doesn't DIS like this:
"ITA! I was telling DH last night that same thing. Now if only everybody would start doing the same, KWIM?"
I can attest to this knowledge first hand...
I do that all the time when I IM my sister on yahoo. She just sends me back those little confused smilies because she has no idea WTH I'm talking about.
