WooHoo!! another week gone by. Lots of new members this week and most of the old members seem to have made it to the new platform. Keep looking for past members who haven't made it yet and send em an e-mail. Where's Silence 04?

Lots of rain here where I am, so much that after 6 straight years of drought now we are worried about getting flooded. Either feast or famine around here. I just wish it would dry out enough to mow my lawn. I believe there is a small tribe of Pigmies living in my backyard

Extra large doses of pancakes is good not only to vent frustration and put a smile on your face ... but it also helps to take the damned duvet cover off.

KOOL! you found our rain! we lost it yesterday...i think it ran away because the hail and sleet startled it. it's okay though - you can keep it for awhile. :D

happy weekend all!

[Ulysses]

Happy Friday all. Wish I had some rain here Kool ... this hot weather we're having here, is killing me.

[DivineDesign]

argh...i'm sitting in class....really bored...happy friday....lol :)

[Kink]

Great Friday Post Kool....
I've still gone ANOTHER week here at work with-out getting my NEW computer. It has arrived, and is sitting on my desk, cluttering everything, and teasing me with the suprise new flat 19" LCD screen to go with it. Hopefully Monday it'll be set up for me to relish the newness of it!!

I'm starting my diet on Monday, so this weekend will be my "Fatfest" weekend.. LOTS of beer, LOTS of food and junk!!!! Not unlike any other weekend! ;)

Everyone have a good weekend!!!

[morea]

HOORAY FOR FRIDAYS!!!! http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/beer.gif

Great post, Kool! Petting belugas is nice. They are soft and smooth, for the record. Not slimy or anything.

I had a great meeting with my boss this morning. Looks like things just *might* be moving in the right direction here. http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/coolcat.gif

The weather is looking nice today, finally the rains have stopped for a bit... hopefully long enough to mow the lawn and plant the rest of the garden. Here's looking forward to a nice weekend (although I have not heard the weather forecast yet I am optimistically trying to believe that is NOT going to start pouring the moment I don my garden gloves! :p)

Big hugs to all of you wonderful folks... may your fridays pass smoothly and your weekends bring much happiness!

[D-Zine]

Happy Friday everyone! Great post Kool :) Sorry to hear about all your rain! I hope there are no flooding issues! We lost our rain finally too!

Kool - I did managed ot cut my grass last night so I think my pygmies have fled from my yard all the way over to yours!! Although I think one may still be hiding - he has burrowed a hole at the end of my backyard...to creep under the fence!! Well, it was either him or...the armadillo, the rabbit, the possum or the racoon! YIKES!

This weekend is SCADs "Sidewalk Arts Festival"
http://www.scad.edu/saf/
This is ALWAYS a great time of the year! I get to see old Alumni friends and see what all the current and prospective students are up to! Not to mention I get free food, music and an alumni gift...LOL!!

Also..coming May 6th is SCADs "Sand Art Festival"!
http://www.scad.edu/sandarts/
They started this one ^^ after I graduated and I have yet to go to one but I am planning on it this year! I will try to get pictures from both events to post on the forum!

Other than that - no real plans this weekend. Grass is cut so I don't have to worry about that - YAY! Should be a nice, relaxing weekend!

Have a great weekend everyone...and if you're in the UK enjoy the extra day off :)

Gotta love bank holidays eh! :)

[Drorain]

HAppy Friday ALL, I need the weekend! Looking forward to hot import nights car show at the expo center

[Patrick Shannon]

This weekend is going to be weird for me.....short story, someone I know is marrying a girl who is definitely not right for him (basically psychotic), heck, the groom won't even talk about the wedding when you bring it up. So a week or two ago, he moves out on her practically severing their ties, which we all cheered at. But then, there was some situation with the house builder that if him and her don't honor their agreement (I don't know all the details), they'll get sued.

So we were disgusted that they got back together (but no wedding) to move into the house. And as of this week, now the wedding is back on again (it's tomorrow).

What a mess.

[D-Zine]

Oh and I was wondering where the pancake Silence 04 is too! I hope he didn't get lost in the change - over!!

[morea]

Details????
lol! I knew I couldn't get away that easily.

Last night I sent a l-o-n-g email detailing all of my concerns, because things have been so hectic here that he and I have not really touched base in a few weeks.

He wrote me back and apologized for the way things have been going. Then when I got in this morning he called me in to his office to meet with me and tell me about the changes he is making (which will shift my focus back to marketing and away from office-slave), will be picking up my color printer this weekend and hopefully buying the credits for my stock photos this afternoon. Also, I'm up for review in a few weeks and am expecting a raise.

I feel a lot better about things, providing they actually DO work out this way. http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/coolcat.gif

[D-Zine]

GREAT News morea!!! Keep us posted on the changes and if he follows through. He seems like a decent boss and like he will.

[morea]

you know, mutual respect at work is so important!

He really *is* a good guy, just pulled in 1000 directions right now.... that's why I try to talk things through. I am sure that he appreciates the fact that I make the effort to work with him instead of just getting fed up and jumping ship without even bothering to find out what was going on like some of the other folks here did.

[Kool]

Yay, Morea! http://home.comcast.net/~rnick9/koolsmiley.gif

[morea]

Happy friday indeed! http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/grins.gif

[greyghost]

YAY, it's FRIDAY!!!

I'm going to be replacing windows in my apartment all weekend... yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Ulysses]

Congratulatons morea. Here's hoping Friday ends with a double-bang for Neuro two. Then you two can enjouy a double-bang together, lol.

[morea]

lol

[D-Zine]

bang = pancake for those who aren't familiar!

LOL ;)

[Ulysses]

Yes D-Zine. And a double-bang = no sleep for 2 days.

[morea]

I've had no sleep all week, but it's because of allergies.

so a double-bang = twice as many allergy problems?

[Ulysses]

Allergy to double-bangs? Where has your 'don't tire easily' spirit gone, morea? D-Zine ... this woman needs some motivation for this weekend.

[Kink]

I hear ya with the allergies Morea... mine had made me feel like I've got a throwt infection all week. I just drug myself up at night and sleep like a LOG!!!

[morea]

sleep like a log? That WOOD be nice! http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/grins.gif

[Ulysses]

You ladies need some Ulysses love and attention for the weekend. Sadly, you're all spoken for, and alas, my schedule is full for this weekend.

[D-Zine]

lmao @ morea!

Ulysses - I will try to motivate here...

*off to motivate morea through a PM ;)*

[Neballer]

:) WOOD:)

HOO-RAY FOR FRIDAY and HOO-RAY FOR MAY.

Honestly, I finally have time to breathe today. Everything is done, and as of yet no one has asked me to do anything else. So I'm just going to sit here and ride out the rest of the day.

[Ulysses]

lmao @ morea!

Ulysses - I will try to motivate here...

*off to motivate morea through a PM ;)*

Finding the picture of the naked man might help.

[morea]

enjoy the peace of mind, Neballer!

for heavens sake, DZ! I am going to keep that PM and re-read it AFTER I am out of work when I can appreciate it more fully. Raar! http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/coolcat.gif

[D-Zine]

I lurrveee when she ^^ gets all crazy like that! ;)

lol

[Allen Harkleroad]

Good to hear you are maing "head' way with the boss regarding your job, I am sure he is happy to know you aren't jumping (ship) on him.

[morea]

thanks Allen!

Is it too early to want a beer? http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/beer.gif lol

[Neballer]

thanks morea.
I'm kinda hung over(friend who just got back from Cali's birthday last night), so my calm, quite office isn't so bad.

[Neballer]

and no, it's never too early to want beer.

[Kink]

It's 5:00 somewhere!!!

[Tyger]

hello everyone! have a great weekend! Been a rough ride this week but the weekend is here! :)

[Ulysses]

How are you today Tyger? Not seen you much. Been off chasing ewoks again on some distant planet?

[Neballer]

Tyger:
Tell me about your Elephant-headed Giraffes.

[G-Man79]

QOTW mention. I have finally reached the top the mountain. Does Boobie Island have a mountain?

Have a great weekend everyone!

[D-Zine]

G-man - you could say that Boobie Island has many mounds!! LMAO!

[morea]

Neballer, and others interested in the elusive elephant-giraffes,

here is the thread! http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6475

[Tyger]

LMAO! how'd you here about my experiments? bwhahhhahahahahaa!

Those damn elusive Ewoks are driving me nuts, so i teleported over to Sector V-4.5 and got lucky with some Alien boobie :)

Been a rough week...taking care of some family things and been focusing alot on getting some thins done, however i needed to at least read the Friday post. It's therapy for me.

[morea]

big hugs, tyger. Glad to see you! http://www.spacespider.net/emo/love029.gif

[Ulysses]

Laughing my head off at that thread. Brings back hilarious memories. How goes the cat-carriage business, morea?

Tyger ... I hear You. Ewoks tend to like banging people alot, huh!?

[Neballer]

http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8016

Ulysses told me that they were going to come and rid my town of killer donkeys.

[Tyger]

aww thanx babydoll! I decided to slack today at work and get some GDF in my system. how'd you get all those smilies?

[morea]

I have been looking for the thread with the photos of them since I saw that, Neballer!

They are quite intimidating. I certainly wouldn't want to see one flying overhead.

[Neballer]

no doubt (http://www.nodoubt.com/), and if one was flying over head I would definetly not look up.

[Neballer]

well maybe I would, I'd just keep my mouth closed.

[Ulysses]

I may be a generous lover, but loving something that scarey ... I don't know.

[G-Man79]

G-man - you could say that Boobie Island has many mounds!! LMAO!

The Grand Tetons, perhaps?

[morea]

*a tumbleweed rolls through the forum*

did everybody leave work early today or something? It got s-l-o-w in here!!!

[Tyger]

yeah what gives....maybe i scared everyone away.

[morea]

nah. I think everybody bolted early today!

To those who got out of work early: you are bums! next time call my boss and tell him that I am needed someplace for something important so I can leave too!!!

[D-Zine]

i got behind...I was force to...WORK :( LOL

[Neballer]

ya, and whoever calls morea's boss should call mine and tell him that it is imperative that I go on a photoshop cruize.

[Ulysses]

A photoshop cruize. That sounds fun. Better than a Quark cruize [eek]

[morea]

we ought to set up a phone chain! Whoever gets out calls the next person's boss, and that person calls the NEXT person's boss, and so on down the list until everybody gets out early. http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/coolcat.gif

[Ulysses]

Neat idea ... but international calls to get you out of work for some 'couch re-designing' isn't likely to work, is it!?

[morea]

well, the whole process needs to be thought through, of course. We can make a list of 20 reasons that a designer would have to leave early, and then roll a polyhedral die and use that excuse for the week.

http://gorizon.org/home/www/web/d20.jpg

[Ulysses]

First one:

16 = I have a giraffe being delivered to my home today, and I need morea to give it a bath.

[Ulysses]

How often could you get away with using that excuse, you reckon?

[morea]

depends. Are giraffes particularly clean animals?

[Ulysses]

Not that I know of. Hence, why it'd be a good excuse to get out of work for a few hours at the very least (since they're very tall, it'd surely take a while bathing one).

[morea]

ok, that's fair... 19 more excuses to go!

[Neballer]

5 = Regis Philbin & Tony Danza are at your house. So I need Ulysses to get over there quick to get rid of them, so there not there when I get home.

[MD]

*kicks tumbleweed aside*

Happy Friday All - for some reason I seem to be having a hard time keeping up with the forum since the change. Morea, Ulysses & all you other über posters.....what is your secret?

Crummy day here - light bulb burned out above my computer and there are none to replace em'. Also I was forced to set a business card up entirely in Comic Sans......some people have no taste :(

[Neballer]

my secert is not having anything pressing to get done, also no one really works around my office on Fridays.

[morea]

in all honesty, I have had some trouble keeping up as well as I used to.

My secret is pretty much to be logged on to the forum 24 hours a day, but if THAT doesn't work, try clicking "New Posts" in the nav bar at the top of the page when you log in, and it should list recent threads.

Also, under your User CP, make sure that you have "edit Options" -> "Default Thread Age Cut Off" set to "Show All Threads". It's a little awkward getting used to the new format, but I am a lot more comfortable with it now.

[Ryan8720]

Happy Friday and upcoming weekend everyone. I've got prom tomorrow. woo hoo!

[morea]

sweet! Have fun Ryan!

[Ulysses]

5 = Regis Philbin & Tony Danza are at your house. So I need Ulysses to get over there quick to get rid of them, so there not there when I get home.

Hahahahaha. I like that one.

[Ulysses]

*... for some reason I seem to be having a hard time keeping up with the forum since the change. Morea, Ulysses & all you other über posters.....what is your secret?(

My secret is high rates, and little work. The high rates seem to be much harder convincing new clients to agree with though ... hence why I'm looking for some additional 'steady employment-type' work.

[MD]

Thanks for the tips Morea :)

I miss the recent topics section from the old forum because it showed all the new posts of the day. I get to work in the afternoon and I kinda miss everything from the morning.

I love being able to view 40 posts per page though :) Less clicking when playing catch-up.

[Ulysses]

Happy Friday and upcoming weekend everyone. I've got prom tomorrow. woo hoo!

Which one of the lovely GDF ladies are you taking with you Ryan? I don't think I could settle for just one of them.

[MD]

hence why I'm looking for some additional 'steady employment-type' work.

How is the search coming along?

[Ryan8720]

It was just too hard of a decision, so I am going with a non-GDF lady.

If you all are good, I might even post pictures.

[Ulysses]

Not good. Just found a new high-paying client to do a bunch of projects for. Thanks for asking.

Reminds me, I got another CD-ROM to do this weekend. What has everyone else got planned?

[Ulysses]

It was just too hard of a decision
I hear you Ryan. I think my head would explode like a lemming, if I had to decide on one of the lovely GDF ladies. Enjoy the prom!

[Neballer]

Younder Mountain String Band (http://www.yondermountain.com/) are playing at the historic Pantages theatre. Other than that, sleep lots of sleep.

[D-Zine]

It was just too hard of a decision, so I am going with a non-GDF lady.

If you all are good, I might even post pictures.

LOL @ Ryan!

Yes you must post pics! Have fun!!

[Ryan8720]

Sleep is one thing I'll be lacking this weekend.

[Ulysses]

Ryan. Do lots of pancakes for us. We're counting on you! Don't let us or your prom partner down, lol

[morea]

All right my lovelies... I am heading out for the day. May you all have a funderful weekend! http://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/beer.gifhttp://mysite.verizon.net/amthibodeau/coolcat.gif

[Ulysses]

You and Neuro enjoy your double-bang, morea. We want good material for next week.

[D-Zine]

hahaha - Ulysses! LMAO!!

Morea - be careful :D

[Ryan8720]

I am also going... to work... *sigh*

[Ulysses]

Argh ... that sucks Ryan. Only half pancakes to go aorund then!?

[Neballer]

peace out morea. drink a beer for me.
