One has to wonder how the world would be if Repo was named after a superior Emilio Estevez movie like The Mighty Ducks or Young Guns.


Ticked - Nothing quite like getting a rejection email for the job you are currently working saying you are not qualified for the position. I have meetings with HR today about my employment with the company. Hopefully this is just a silly oversite, since they sent me a w2 for last year, one of the three years I have apparently not been working in this position.

Smiled - Applications are out, and have a lead on Hamilton tickets for my wife, but then I would have to go to NYC.

I could go buy both of those sytems right now, but I am not going to do so because I already have plenty of games to play and because I would rather save the money
I'm moderately certain like there is a subtle message to someone here.
I'm 100% certain it will not be received by the target.
I'm going to get a turkey breast sub at Sub-way after work (there's a great subway in a gas station off I-35 on the way home. It used to be a pawn shop in the 80's and a speakeasy before that in the 30's). It would be cheaper to make the sandwich at home (this is where I live) but I don't want to wakeup my cousin's roommates catsitter (they pay her $4 an hour to watch the cats while they netflix and chill). So i'll get it at sub-way. They have a $6 promotion for all subs right now (they usually do a promotion during slow season, Febuany is good, but Subtember is my favorite. I have an idea for a Christmas promotion: FREE subs all month long). I don't have any cash (this is money used to buy things) all my income is budgeted for finance charges, but I have a neighbor who lets me borrow his metal detector and after 6-8 hours I usually have enough for a sub. (i'll eat the sub AFTER I pay for it.)

:lol:

I am fairly certain that my message will be flagged as spam and summarily deleted. (By a spambot, no less!)

Smile: I needed to take off another three days before the end of March or my rollover PTO will expire, so I put in some time off requests a couple weeks ago. Turns out I decided to take off tomorrow so I can Fire Emblem all day!

That's an extra $20.
