Hey, sounds like fun. I'll trade you. Your marathon for my marathon -- finals week for 3 graduate night classes, surreptitiously slipping out the back door early from the office to study. It will be all over in 8 days. I've never been to Hawaii either, and I grew up in LA. I know that's weird. EVERYBODY I know has been. I don't know anybody there nor anybody who wanted to go, so I always went to Florida or across the pond, as I have relatives in both places. Can't say I like what you ate, though. I'm not a big fan of pork and I absolutely detest Thai food, or anything minimally spicy, for that matter. It's always fun to see what kind of rental cars are in vogue at a particular location. I, too, have seen the Aura and it is attractive...I believe it runs with the 3500 VVT V6. Needless to say, in Eastern Canada, your chance of getting an Allure/LaCrosse is higher than it is elsewhere.

You (ocnblu) can use one every now and then.

you are raising the bar, here...My response: ampersand (I think that's how it's spelled)

Oh, believe me, it shows. That's why I got moved from a cubicle into an office with a door. Still, the clients who "turn one's stomach" are a constant and I find that I have to bite my lip because it would be a departure from my normal way, which is keeping it professional, though not uptight.

Happy birthday, fellow pre-Christmas babies.

Typical reg, she is N-O-T HOT. She does not have a weight problem, nor is she thin...normal...but N-O-T HOT. She managed to snag herself a rich husband, though.

Choice 2, the Maverick. As much as I hate Ford, it's better than the others...if you end up with a 170 c.i. or 200 c.i. L-6, it most likely will be all cast-iron. (I wish I could say the same about the Vega ) And this is a joke, right?

There is a lump sum budget for the project and it has a decent chunk of money in it. The scope was never defined as to this kind of crap (gee, we want to lease this office, can you compute the square footage of that part of the 2nd floor?). The fee and the budget were set by my old boss who walked with a handful of others and started his own outfit. I am sort of stuck with the fee and my boss did not create a category for variable crap, so I can't come back and change the situation/contract. She is taking a little bit of advantage of it, though I am getting shorter and shorter with this. If I am running the project, I ask for more money or tell them it's not in the budget. I did that with a bank remodel and they ponied up the money. I am generally very polite. They are then taken aback when that stops.
