quade 4 #1 October 11, 2003 Mine, for Saturday, October 11, 2003. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5697-2003Oct9.html Quote AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Winning the admiration of co-workers gives you an ego boost. You may win a prize for something you like to do. It could be fishing, bowling or even skydiving. BTW, as of today, Friday, October 10, 2003, I have no co-workers. Fuck 'em. They had ruined the experience anyway.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #6 October 11, 2003 Think of it this way...while your coworkers were downsized, they found your ability to keep your job admirable... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

CrazyIvan 0 #7 October 11, 2003 Welcome to the club Quade. Now, my Horrorscope: CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Saturn, affected by lunar influences, brings moodiness and inability to make up your mind. However, it's a good day to attack a problem long in the making. A solution is at hand. At least mine is kinda close, I solved one problem 'by hand' __________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

flyangel2 2 #12 October 11, 2003 Hey, I knew there was a reason I was going to start stalking you, I'm an Aquarius tooEven though I'm not a co-worker, you do a kick ass job on video and pictures. Love the one you gave me, it's already framed.

Two others and myself for a total of three out of a department of about 20. I had worked there since 1974.

It really sucks that after almost 30 years they can just let you go like that. But I agree with what you said, "Fuck 'em" I don't know, professional skydiver sounds good though.

juanesky 0 #19 October 11, 2003 Hey Paul, sorry to hear that. It seems that many are in the same situation over here, but by the way you express it, it seems that you were not happy there either. I got words of my pinkslip yesterday as well, been waiting for it lately, but at least they want to offer me work as consultant basis maybe 20 or so hours a week, yet I;m lucky for I get a fare severance package, that will allow me to take at least one week or two of vacation....yet I do not have the time...irony that is what life is hitting me with. Wish you luck and a better future, but most of all happiness in what you set to do!

metalslug 36 #21 October 11, 2003 Yeah, astrology doesn't ring true in some areas where you may think it would. For one thing; a search of earlier threads revealed this poll which showed Sagittarius, Leo and Pisces as the top three signs in the DZ.com community. That's two fire signs and one water sign.. in a community that loves the air and yet the air signs only managed 4th place. Go figure. Of course, that poll may merely have indicated that air signs are less likely to participate in polls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
