Taro T Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Got my first paycheck from the new job on Wednesday. F'N fantastic. Just saw this part of the thread. Congrats on the job. So, are you replacing the guy from the USPS commercial that I assume had his heart explode from all the caffeine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodork Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Can't believe no one posted in this thread yet today! For me: had yummy (and free) food at our dept holiday party today, and still managed to get my work done and get out early. Very much looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning for the first time in at least two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, are you replacing the guy from the USPS commercial that I assume had his heart explode from all the caffeine? Haha yeah I'm taking up that role. On a related note, this is the first weekend in two months that I don't have to work a Sunday. F'N fantastic! Also related, I had an interview yesterday for a position with Pictometry doing geospatial image processing. It's already tremendous that they brought me in for an interview. It would be quite a life changer if they offer me the position. Growing high profile local company, walking distance from my apartment, better pay, much more cerebral, and a potential career path. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm going to throw a downer in the Fantastic Frifday thread cuz the complaint thread is closed..... Today was the last day at work for most of us., The final workday before the holiday break was always a time of celebration and happiness. Today was a rollercoaster. I Said goodbye to about 250 of my friends that are going to be on the street tomorrow. None of us were ready to give up on the project. We all wanted to keep at the goal. But today we said goodbye to a bunch of folks that weren't continuing on, most of whom are going to be unemployed as of tomorrow morning. Lots of wet eyes in the place. Combo of great people you won't see again and goals that won't be obtained. Sad day. Bourbon is helping. Haha yeah I'm taking up that role. On a related note, this is the first weekend in two months that I don't have to work a Sunday. F'N fantastic!

Fingers crossed. I hope you get it. We all should be challenged at our job on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ForTripping Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Taking the next month off from the funeral business to do some hog and deer hunting on my property in south GA. My 2 brothers will have to handle the family business. They are more than capable but are green with envy about not being able to go to the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Went snowboarding for the first time of the season last night, and the conditions were great (especially for man-made snow). I'm always pleasantly surprised to find I haven't forgotten everything I learned the previous year, lol. Also got to hang out with a friend I don't see much any more, so that was good.

Eleven Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) What does that mean? New nephew born today. cousin-twin for LPF#3. prenatal testing indicated a severe heart condition, requiring immediate surgery. test after birth showed surgery can be put off for at least a year. it doesn't get much more f'n fantastic than that! 1. My niece had open-heart surgery at eighteen months. It's so freaking cool what they can do right now. My prayers are that your nephew never needs it, but if he does, he'll probably be okay. 2. Hey, does the LPF clan ever think about, I don't know, birth control or something? Some of us are scared that you're trying to populate the earth with your own weird LPF race. But, more seriously, congrats again on another member of your family. Edited January 5, 2013 by Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
