I have to stop by AZ and pick up some wiper's for Steve's truck. Do you want me to mention how you're doing, or have you been in contact with anyone there? I can keep it mum and not say a word if that's what you prefer.
If Randy or TJ is there you can say something to them. I haven't talked to anybody there since I left town.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

Congrats Shorty. One of these days I'll run in to you. I'll be at MK Sat probably morning and then probably after 830p (my brother will be down)

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

Okey dokey. I may not get to it before I head for Oregon next Tuesday for a 10-day visit with my family. We're going camping at Blue Angel Park this weekend, despite the forecast for some thunderstorms Friday pm/Saturday am. I'll be sure to let the AZ guys know you're doing great when I do stop by there.

Okey dokey. I may not get by there until after I return from a trip to Oregon. I'm leaving the 8th and returning the 17th. This weekend we're going camping at Blue Angel Park to celebrate our 2nd (woo-hoo!) wedding anniversary.

Saturday I'm working 18:00 to midnight. I'll be wherever CDS puts me on Main Street East (Train Cart, Pin Cart, Firehouse, Chapeau, Uptown Pins, Tipboard Cart, or Expo Hall). I doubt I'll be in the Confectionery, the Gallery or Uptown Jewelers as Confectionery is a different zone and Uptown Jewelers and the Gallery both require special training I don't have.

Told you it wouldn't take long. We may have some stupid policies, but not too many stupid people. You've obviously made a good impression already.

Though on the other hand, this also means you'll have to start dealing with the hassle of Line Scheduling, lol.

Just remember to look at all the lines in advance and pick 10 that you like in order of preference. Most of the time, at least one will be open.
On our last bid in MSE, they told us to number all 72 lines from 1 to 72 in our order of preference! Instead, I showed up in person for the bid and didn't fill out the form (which I know was a bad idea since what if something had come up and I couldn't be there). In any case, I got my first choice which shocked me a little since I was 51st on the seniority list!

Shorty, have you thought about what you want to bid yet? I can tell you that unless something changed from the last time Zone 1 AM will be filled before the bid gets down to either of us. They're getting rid of Zone 3, so I'm not sure how that's going to effect what the lines will be or what the former Zone 3 people will bid. Since they're all ahead of me on the seniority list I'm a little nervous that they'll bid Zone 2 to avoid going outside; but considering how loudly most of them claim to hate working in the Confectionery I'm hoping I'm safe. I wish they would post the lines, the bid's in a few weeks.
