Morning guys,

Didn't mean to answer for you. Not sure when you would return or how soon Darcy need to know. I looked at a west coast swing - Aulani for some nights and VGC for some nights. I'm thinking that would be a nice trip for our 20th aniversary.

I didn't know you owned at BWV. I really do like that resort.

No problem, your answer was more to the point than mine was. Aulani/VGC burned a ton of points but was worth it. Don't know if I will get to Hawaii again but I think we did it right.

We decided on DVC when they were building BW. Waited until the resort was finished and we signed the contract the first day they it opened (Yea I know, most of you were still in diapers). Our favorite place in all of WDW.

We found out on Saturday that one of Declan's team-mate's family are DVC owners. He said he was piking around on-line and found my trip report for the cruise we just finished and in talking he told us they bought in a couple of years ago.

Was on a dive and was wearing my DVC member hat. Another diver came up to me, exchanged the secret member handshake and told me they owned at AKV. We are everywhere. A lot of us are Dis Dads so if you have any other questions, ask away.

Nice job with the reservations. Life is rough in CJVille.:rotfl2::rotfl2:

It could be worse. The only downside in CJVille is I already used my 2013 points and have to take it easy this year and probably next.

We r doing a first and bringing our new (to us) camper down and staying on sight. We have driven down many times but not combined our love for camping with WDW.
We leave the second the kids are out of school on the 12th. We told the kids by calibrating DALMATIAN DAY.

You will love Fort Wilderness. I used to camp a fair amount and we took a tent there. Great facilities and lots to do. If you are spending a lot of time at the resort, you may want to rent a golf cart as soon as they open up. We used it a lot to get around the campground.

I don't know what's causing the issue yet...I can't find a catastrophic leak.

That sucks Mike. Hope you find the source soon.
 
Norm, finally getting on a plane I see, whenever your 20th is. Looking forward to the VGC trip in Oct (i looked and even though i rented points, all of my days were available at the 7 mo mark ) would like to do Aulani some day too, it'll prob be next summer or fall before I finally get to use my DVC points for a stay. My brother and SIL are staying on my points at SSR for Star Wars weekend ll (covers my dues for next year) . Hope you and your family have been good, let me know if y'all are still thinkin of coming down to opry mills soon

We will probably be there next week - maybe Wednesday. I'll text you when I know something more definite.

You DD is going to really enjoy getting to explore DC. It is rather an amazing place (so long as you aren’t dealing with the dysfunctional folks that are trying hard no to run it). The city itself though, that’s amazing and there is much to see, experience and learn about. We need to get back up there some time and see more of it ourselves.

She is really excited about the trip. I'm jealous I can't go.

I don't know what's causing the issue yet...I can't find a catastrophic leak.

I hope you find it.

Two hydrogen and an oxygen.

Look, Barry offered to help you.
 
Auditors.....:faint::headache:

I used to be an auditor. Got tired of everyone hating me and giving me stink eye :guilty::scared::crazy2: every time I showed up. Now I get to be :mad: with the rest of you.

My BIL is an internal auditor. Everyone turns around and stops talking when he is around. It's a lonely place to be.:sad2:

Yep… that’s tough work and a difficult place to dwell.
There are a few “dirty” jobs in this world that just need to be done.
But, after a while the compensation won’t quite make up for the implied separation.

It takes the right kind of person to get those jobs done.
But it would be the wrong kind of person if they actually relished doing them.
 
It's all about the small victories in life...

I had a meeting that I was supposed to attend Friday morning that was canceled yesterday when someone finally came to the realization that they'd scheduled a meeting on Good Friday. I had a meeting tonight to go over a contract that I had been dreading, but just got a call to cancel that meeting and he'll just mail me the paperwork. I deleted that one out of my phones calendar app, and now my front page reminder has nothing on it. I don't think it has ever been clear. No meetings or after work things scheduled until April 12. Is it wrong that I'm just absolutely excited about this?? :banana::woohoo::yay: :lmao:

Just got rid of ours, after 3 weeks of having them in the office. :cool1:



Yes, this helped a lot during those 3 weeks. :thumbsup2

These were the external auditors. Everyone always gets nervous when they are around though we really have no need to be. I wouldn't even have to interact with them but as I've been 2nd in command in our office for a while and my boss really doesn't know how to use our business system I had to show them the screens we use and such. I don't think we'll get any follow ups from this and they were only here for and hour. Our internal audits usually do a pretty thorough job of picking out the holes in our processes.

On the subject of the type of people who do these jobs? I find it's usually fresh college grads who needed to take a job. Today was the first time I met one that was over the age of 30.
