oh, i am. :p its just that the streets have about an inch of ice on them, and tn's volvo doesn't even have power steering. i'm letting him take the outback to work because i won't drive on ice. so i will be independently walking around until the ice melts. since my family is about 3o min away, i won't be walking to see them.

I'm here until at least until 6pm. Who ever said Controllers had it easy :rolleyes:
Probably no one. That sounds like one of the worst jobs. Tons of accountability and not tons of freedom. :think:

The Matrix has them.

Me? I took the week off and turned off the pager. Ha! Even if there is an emergency, they'll have to fend for themselves! I shudder to think of the mess I am coming back to on monday though.

Merry X-mas

Christmas bonus :rolleyes: basically 48 hours worked and 104 hours of pay for the week.

money is nice but I would rather be with the family and take the 40 hours of paid time off.
