Hi all! Well, it's happening to me again! I was let go from one job in February, found this one in May (along with the FML!!), and am being let go September 30...sigh! I have a few leads on new jobs so I hope whichever one I accept has net access!! If it doesn't, I'll figure out a way to get the FML... somehow! (BIG, I'll let you know when to terminate (Gulp!) me.) I also have a story to tell you...one I'm not too thrilled about admitting. (Blush!) Snookie, my 1.5 MF sable loves chasing people around the house. The house has four flights of stairs and she can really fly down them! (Boomer, the male, has learned to run UP them just as fast as Snookie can run DOWN them! Wow!!) Anyway, the lowest level of the house seems to be the room that Snookie associates with MUCH FUN and will eventually make (?) me run down there to play. Well, when we got to the lower level of the house, I ran around a corner to "hide" (she always knows I'm there). When she found me, I decided that I would run back to the left and run back up one flight of stairs....well...umm...err....I sorta forgot about the wall that was already there (well, I *think* it was already there...hmmm) and ran full force into it! My knee hit the wall and put a hole in it, my forehead bounced off of the wall, and my glasses ended up quite crooked on my face! I didn't "see stars" or anything but, let me tell you, I definitely had to stop for a moment and sit down! Snookie sensed that something was wrong and came over to see what she could do. After about 1.2 seconds, she decided there was nothing she could do to help me so she ran under a blanket dooking the entire time. (Thanks, Snook, I love you, too! :-) ) I never knew that owning ferrets could be hazardous to one's health!! (Or is it because I'm blond?? Hey! No comments!!) ;-) -Mark Z. Snookie - "Boy! When Guy gets home from vacation and sees the hole in the wall, you're going to be in hot water, buddy!" Boomer - RUN, RUN, RUN!!! PLAY, PLAY, PLAY! Speedbump! [Posted in FML issue 1307]
