Testing, testing

ray a · March 2004

This is a test of the emergency posting system. If this were a real emergency, you would be instructed to log on to the emergency posting thread. We will return you to your favorite humorous thread as soon as the test is completed. Thank you for your cooperation.

Don D · March 2004

Be patient. We'll be letting you out for some exercise shortly Ray.

Note: The preceeding is my personal opinion and has no value beyond that. Although it may be 'sorta offensive' or 'indeed offensive' to someone out there, it is offered without regard to that possibility. Should you find yourself alarmed by my post, you may privately mail me to protest or you may alert the principal's office. x:-)

System · March 2004

Ray, you're suffering severe withdrawal of something. We're your friends. Let us help you.

ray a · March 2004

Actually, it is Don's fault.

System · March 2004

HuH? Care to elaborate?

SDDCHR · March 2004

We're awake...bring on the emergency!

HS · March 2004

A little bored are we Ray?

Happy Monday

ray a · March 2004

So far the test seems to be working just fine.

rad · March 2004

Well then, its a good thing you did it. Are you accumulating time for OSHA safety training? x;-)

ray a · March 2004

OK, here's the story. Both Don and I noticed it was near impossible to post on the forum from home. He found out if we access the forum through Internet Explorer instead of using the Favorites function, it will work. And it did. Starting this thread was proof I could post from home.

Paul in Cannon Beach · March 2004

Ray,

When you say you posted from home, do you mean "the home"?

ritaanz · March 2004

It took the two of you to figure that out?? Now I expect to see a lot more posts from you guys.

dmd · March 2004

I, too, at first thought Ray must have been kind of bored on a Monday a.m. to send this message. However, closer inspection indicates he sent the notice on Saturday afternoon at the start of the cocktail hour. Now, that either reflects a REALLY bored guy, or someone who really needs to get a life! (teasing.......)

I wonder if we could get the little "on fire" symbol on this thread. You know, much ado about nothing?

Just for you Paul. x;-)

EDIT: Drat, it didn't work! Wasn't it once 15 posts for the 'fire'? :-?

They must have changed the rules on me...

ray a · March 2004

OK, I'll add another insignificant post.

Whatever, my esteemed colleague from MS keeps sending me obscene emails at my home address and I have to monitor closely before my wife opens them.

Whatever · March 2004

Couldn't resist x}> (actually I could, but didn't want to). Saturday was about the most glorious days we have had in months. Here the sidewalks are crowded, the parks are crowded, the zoos are crowded. The flowers are starting to blossom. There is so much to see and do that you just can't find time to be on computer. x;-)

rad · March 2004

It was beautiful weather here too, I took my niece to the park and hung out with the mommies. She had a great time and got nice and tired for her nap.

Cinderella · March 2004

Monday = bleh.

At around 4-4:30pm my time (PST) I get lonely on the forum as everyone seems to stop posting around then. I don't go home until 5:30. x:'(

marc · March 2004

Cinderella, you mean you did not know about the Western posters group hug that happens every day about 4:30 PST? You must not have gotten the memo....xhugs

Cinderella · March 2004

x:o I didn't get that memo! Count me in for today's hug. x:-)

Parabeagle · March 2004

Well, well, well. Leave you folks to your own devices for a few days and Ray starts posting nonsensical tripe... which is something he really excels at. x;-)

Cinderella, I didn't get the memo on the group hug, either, so don't feel left out. x;-)

ray a · March 2004

Yep Beagle. It was a trap to lure you into posting more nonsense. I'm glad to see you "rose" to the ocassion.

Parabeagle · March 2004

Hey, pal, I been workin' hard! Been down in sunny 'Bama interviewing some fine folks for a choice management position, y'heah? x;-)

ray a · March 2004

Is that all you did? x0:)

Parabeagle · March 2004

No, that's not all I did. I also conducted training in bloodborne pathogens, slip and fall, ladder safety, harassment and MSDS.

I know what you're thinking, Ray.

Don D · March 2004

Just to protect my virtue, I will say that I have NEVER sent Raymond an obscene email. His wife and I have exchanged a few though. But that wasn't the point.

Ray: 5:18 CST, let's see that wuld be 6:18 Eastern. Don't you know we have 'for cause' drug and alcohol testing? Next time (without fail) you feel it necessary to make a posting like this on a weekend, find yourself a designated driver and have him take you directly to the nearest testing location. DO NOT pass GO, DO NOT collect $200!

Paul in Cannon Beach · March 2004

It is to our credit that this thread is officially "on fire" without being informative, useful, funny, or particularly interesting.

Way to go, everyone! Good work!

ray a · March 2004

The HR version of Seinfeld. A thread about nothing.

Parabeagle · March 2004

But, in the final analysis, isn't "nothing" SOMETHING?

Testing, testing
