ROFL I try never to handle another woman's marsupial. Intentionally or unintentionally LOL

I've ceased making sense I'm pretty sure I need to make more coffee. . .

Seven Words: "Hello, this is Ktulu. One moment please." and then step out of the restaurant. (Unless it's a TGIFriday's. They piss me off. Let's all go talk on our cell phones in there!) :D:

Honestly, though my group of friends and I have a hard and fast "No cellphones at the dinner table" policy. And two of us are in national security positions and I'm tech support for one area of national security. If we can do it, anyone can!

No, it would be "box mine up, I'll be outside" if I was to do that.

I don't get calls like that during times like dinner anyway, they are usually in the middle of the night or on the weekends when I'm doings other than work.

My area of responsibility is pretty big, just our global backbone. I'm not a government worker, so my cell phone gets answered or the calls returned whenever it rings, not just from 9a-5p M-F, excluding holidays ;)

GWB, can you hear me now? :p:

I knew we had to be on a few watch lists and that proves it!

I wouldn't worry too much, I have more insight into what goes on our network than Uncle Sam :D:

Ouch, Ktulu! That stings a little, you know that? ;) What's funny is that I am so late in answering this because I had to redo a couple of machines and then help bring a server back on line (even though I'm supposed to be off at 6 on Fridays...) It's probably because my office is in the Government Accountability Office building...makes us feel like we should be accountable or something...

And hey, Shorty: technically, since I do look at this site from work over a government network, all the information on here is now the property of the FedGov! :D:

Edited to add: I'm guessing my roommates and I are going to be easy to spot at WDW in Nov... We'll be the ones wearing black suits and ties with with dark sunglasses and one hand to our ear pieces... :p:

Hey, don't complain! The other hand is going to be handing you a slice of cheesecake! :D:

Edited to add: and the *other* hand is going to be holding a Kungaloosh!

UPDATE!

I talked to my managers and yesterday i filed a written complaint about the bus driver i encountered. Doesn't look to good for him.
