AML6349: Hi!
SurvivorGracie: Hi Annette
AML6349: How are you?
SurvivorGracie: very relieved
SurvivorGracie:
SurvivorGracie: how are you?
AML6349: Not bad, watching The Apprentice 3 premiere.
SurvivorGracie: me too
SurvivorGracie: the book smarts are, um, a little weird
AML6349: Yeah, definitely - especially Danny!
SurvivorGracie: at first I was sure he was streets smart
AML6349: Bren is goofy looking.
SurvivorGracie: this is sort of funny
SurvivorGracie: Erin, the attorney, looks .. not quite right somehow
AML6349: I was going through backgrounds and I'm impressed with Angie - she opened the first ever Curves for Women.
SurvivorGracie: lol
SurvivorGracie: have these people ever been IN a BK/
AML6349: lol
AML6349: Brian's a self-made millionaire who owns the trademark on Glowlites... those glow stick things!
SurvivorGracie: I was amazed to hear the street smart earned SO much more than the others
AML6349: You & me both!
SurvivorGracie: they are hilarous
AML6349: How was your day?
SurvivorGracie: omg Annette .. it was a day from hell
AML6349: What happened?!
SurvivorGracie: our firm is laying people off
SurvivorGracie: and what happens is
SurvivorGracie: people in higher classified jobs
SurvivorGracie: can bump downwards in the organization
SurvivorGracie: so we had just hired a new Clerk/Typist about 6 months ago
SurvivorGracie: and she's being bumped out
SurvivorGracie: so the new girl started on Monday
SurvivorGracie: and she is AWFUL
SurvivorGracie: everyone in our dept. hates her
SurvivorGracie: and she's telling us all these medical problems she has
SurvivorGracie: and come to find out
SurvivorGracie: she's going to be out for about 6 months for back surgery
SurvivorGracie: and we're all like
SurvivorGracie: why did she bother to bump
SurvivorGracie: why not just take the unemployment already
AML6349: How weird
AML6349: !
SurvivorGracie: so .. the person who is supposed to be leaving has been training her this week
SurvivorGracie: she comes in today
SurvivorGracie: only
SurvivorGracie: the new girl calls out sick
SurvivorGracie: so we ask the other girl to work all day
SurvivorGracie: and
SurvivorGracie: she went to deliver a message
SurvivorGracie: slipped and fell
SurvivorGracie: and BROKE HER LEG
SurvivorGracie: on her very last day of work!
AML6349: Good lord.
SurvivorGracie: I felt so bad for her
SurvivorGracie: and our marketing specialist is pregnant
SurvivorGracie: and due next week
SurvivorGracie: she delivered last night
AML6349: Is the baby healthy?
SurvivorGracie: yep
AML6349: That's good.
SurvivorGracie: mom and baby are great
SurvivorGracie: lol
SurvivorGracie: just made for a very interesting day at work
SurvivorGracie: lol
AML6349: Sheesh... what a day.
SurvivorGracie: I was SO glad to come home
SurvivorGracie: and I was sorta nervous about this whole tc thing
SurvivorGracie: lol
SurvivorGracie: sooooooooo
SurvivorGracie: how was your day?
AML6349: I think it'll be OK.
AML6349: Not bad - Shanley slept good last night and was generally happy today so, for a treat, I took her to McDonalds.
SurvivorGracie: aw .. how cool is that!
AML6349: Her first time actually *in* the restaurant, she loved it.
SurvivorGracie: did you get pictures of the event?
AML6349: No.
SurvivorGracie: aw ... there'll be more chances
SurvivorGracie: but isn't it neat to watch them
AML6349: Yep!
SurvivorGracie: who's gonna win? Magna or Net Worth?
AML6349: Hmmm... I think it's gonna be Net Worth.
SurvivorGracie: me too
SurvivorGracie: though I surely wonder about the plane tickets they just bought
AML6349: Hopefully they can make up for it in sales.
SurvivorGracie:
SurvivorGracie: LOL
SurvivorGracie: did you hear Caroline?
AML6349: No.
SurvivorGracie: she said, "this is just too sad"
SurvivorGracie: about the book smarts
AML6349: lol
AML6349: That's funny.
AML6349: I think everyone expected the book smarts to just own the street smarts, but it doesn't seem like that yet.
SurvivorGracie: the book smarts promotion is so sucky
SurvivorGracie: and looks kindergartenish
SurvivorGracie: I think I'd be very surprised if they don't win too!
AML6349: Some friends of mine were just talking about Lost and mentioned something about the polar bear that I didn't realize.
SurvivorGracie: ooh .. what?
AML6349: Remember how... what's his face, said that Walt is special, how he makes things happen?
SurvivorGracie: yes
SurvivorGracie: Locke said that
AML6349: The polar bear was in the comic book Walt was reading - both times he was reading it, the bear showed up.
AML6349: I didn't realize that.
SurvivorGracie: oh wow
SurvivorGracie: I didn't realize that either!
SurvivorGracie: very interesting
SurvivorGracie: I'll have to start watching Walt more closely
AML6349: Also, remember when he was reading a book about birds - then one hit the window & died?
SurvivorGracie: yeah .. that I definitely noticed
SurvivorGracie: 'cause I noted the bird that died was the same one in the picture he was looking at
AML6349: Brb a sec, wanna see who wins.
AML6349: WooHoo!
SurvivorGracie: YAY!
AML6349: I play in a fantasy Apprentice game on a mom bulletin board I go to - I'm doing OK so far!
SurvivorGracie: yay!
SurvivorGracie: is it fun?
AML6349: I got 25 points for picking Todd as one of the team leaders and 50 points for choosing the Street Smarts team to win the challenge. I'll get another 50 points if Michael gets fired.
AML6349: Yes, it is.
SurvivorGracie: woot
SurvivorGracie: Go Annette!
AML6349: I won the last one.
SurvivorGracie: LOL
SurvivorGracie: you are good
AML6349: Trying to find a place to buy my favorite lotion.
AML6349: Cool, I can wear it at Borders.
SurvivorGracie: what's your fav lotion?
AML6349: Err, buy it at.
AML6349: Burt's Bees Carrot Day Creme.
SurvivorGracie: hmm .. sounds interesting
AML6349: It smells great, like a carrot muffin.
AML6349: www1.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=10085&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10015
SurvivorGracie: ooh nice
AML6349: It's kind of pricey but great stuff.
AML6349: I have very dry skin and for the most part, except for the occasional super dry day, I only have to put it on once.
AML6349: I used to have to put regular lotion on my face 2 - 3x a day.
SurvivorGracie: I have this one spot on my knuckles that is SO dry
AML6349: My hands & face get really bad in the winter.
AML6349: Doh! I missed out on my last 50 points... but that's OK.
SurvivorGracie: OMG
AML6349: Wow, I didn't see that coming.
SurvivorGracie: me either
SurvivorGracie: Todd was sure he'd stacked it to get Danny fired
AML6349: Sure did.
SurvivorGracie: Caroline was exactly right
SurvivorGracie: Danny was a convenient scapegoat
AML6349: Yep, he was. I have a feeling people won't be too happy tho.
SurvivorGracie: wouldn't you LOVE to be in the boardroom when they walk in
AML6349: Woah, a candidate walks off!
SurvivorGracie: holy cow
AML6349: I need to get off for a bit, but I hope to be back later.
SurvivorGracie: okay
SurvivorGracie: take care
AML6349: Here's hoping everything goes the way we hope. *crosses fingers*
SurvivorGracie: me too!
