Ohh....I would so feel like I was back in school when they got you out of class. If they call first...no one has to know unless you tell them.

Yeah, pretty much. Our phone system displays everyone's status- for stuff like that you use the "Meeting" setting anyway, so everyone knows. Just to add to it, there are only about 40 or 50 people in the company, and one woman is the nosiest person I've ever met, and she just loves to tell everyone everything she knows. Management isn't bad at all, but I only have 2 coworkers I actually trust.

Okay, pardon me because I've actually had another tervis tumbler of wine (as I mentioned in the other thread) but ...ick. You have my sympathies.

We have maybe 200 hourly...but our management staff and front office engineers only number...let me count....30...and maybe another 10 with offices out on the floor. What is even better is that a Nosey Nellie doesn't last long and other then a few well-known idiots....we can actually trust most of our co-workers.

I joke that that Dilbert is often the order of my life,......but I would be a basket case of I had to watch my back against everyone...rather then just one or two.

PS: How is Maria? Things still going well? Also. The Raleigh Parrothead club is having a social meeting on the 14th? Ever think of going?

Did you tell them the curse was reinstated?

And Soraya, I think you have me confused with someone else- Raleigh's a long commute from Detroit (but ask again in January!!)!

I do? Well....ah....I am going back to my roots...yeah...that's the story. (I was born on Outer Drive in Southern Detroit, but crawled out when I was 3 days old....lol!).....other then that....I must have confused you with Cocotel.....sorry. Can I blame the tequila and/or rhum?

Come down in January....I admit, this Northern Ohio gal is spoiled with these Southern winters!
