441 – Even More Snow Coming (I want to move to Florida)

Ok…. it’s time to move South. Way South. Maybe in the Caribbean. I want to be a bartender at a little beach bar in Barbados. I want to sit there and make drinks in sandals, while the tropical breeze slowly moves the palm fronds on the roof of the hut on the beach. I want to listen to people complain about the snow and smile, knowing I’m not there any longer.

I don’t know that I’ve ever wished Winter to end more than this year. It’s just exhausting, and depressing at the same time. If the kids have one more day off of school, they’ll have to start digging into their April vacation.

Oh, BTW… that was taken before the latest 12 inches we had! Looks like up to 6 more inches coming tomorrow.

Does anyone have one of those matchbooks that tells you how to be a bartender in 2 weeks? *chuckling*

I guess it’s a good year for the skiers though.. they’ll be skiing until August at this rate! *L*

Lastly, there’s a beautiful picture of Paris on http://www.bing.com today. They talk about the catacombs in the links on the page, which I’ve visited before! It’s such a beautiful city.. I hope to go again soon.

On to something funny:

How to Please Your I.T. Department
01. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.
02. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.
03. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.
04. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.
05. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.
06. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve.
07. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.
08. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. There's electronics in it.
09. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.
10. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.
11. When an I.T. person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That motivates us.
12. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes.
13. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work.
14. Don't learn the proper term for anything technical. We know exactly what you mean by "My thingy blew up".
15. Don't use on-line help. On-line help is for wimps.

(I especially love #12, happens all the time!)

Have a great weekend all!
