LOL! We have our own resident Anego. That's awesome.

On Topic: TWO MORE DAYS BEFORE EXAMS!!!!! That means I only have two more days of classes left. WOOHOO!

Three of the junior people in our team are resigning. Two have already filed their notices (one just yesterday), while we know that the third one will probably file it anytime soon.

Some of them show genuine skill and determination, but when you can find the same (or less) work for even better pay somewhere else, then we aren't going to be able to keep them for long.

It's a shame since it ends up that the people above can't move on with their roles, since the ones that are supposed to eventually replace them are suddenly nowhere to be found.

Sigh. :shakehead:

So, I'm talking to this customer and I'm hearing a lot of noise from some kids in the background. I asked her about it and she said, "Yeah, there's 9 kids in here." I asked if she's running some kind of daycare, and she said, "No, they're all mine" I'm thinking, "Lady, you don't need DSL, you need a cold shower!!" :shocked:

Or her tubes tied. :beaten:

I saw an article in one of Mrs A.D's magazine about a woman who had so many kids she'd basically been pregnant for 20 years :crazy:

Yeah, they are going well. I think the quitters were just burnt out :nut:

Alrighty, so I finished marking exams today. Now I have to write 80 individual comments that contain 3 anecdotal comments each. :sweat:

Good news is I've completed an entire class set. Bad news is I still have 2 more class sets to do. :mecry:

I dream about something similar when it comes to appraisal forms and 360degrees.

Good news: it's Friday and I have another 2, 3 hours to go before my weekend starts.

Our boss let slip in a meeting today that he likes to go out dancing on weekends. Our boss has a new nickname now, , , "Mambo King"[/list:u]

Elaine!!!! :rofl:

Um, but yeah. That's brave of him to admit that. If I heard that my boss danced on the weekends, he'd never hear the end of it. :hehe:
