As I start this message it's 2344hrs, sooooo Goodevening to all.
I suppose I shouldn't be so smug, at the pace I type it will be morning before I actially post this. Soooo Goodmorning everyone (that should cover all bases).
Peak of the week ???? I wouldn't know, my day off changes each week. Today (Wed) is my thursday. Tomorrow is my FRIDAY !!!! Next week I get Wed, Thur, and Fri. (For which I requested off in May. And with a seniority number of 12, I really don't think I have to worry about getting "bumped".) So bring on the turkey, turkey, turkey.
It's always hard to decide if I should have Thanksgiving wallpaper or Christmas wallpaper on my computer at this time of the year. The answer was simple, Thankgiving on the family computer, and Christmas on my laptop (and screen saver too).
On my ride home I spotted one house with partial Christmas lights on, and one house with a Christmas tree in the front window.
Rack time, talk to you all later.

i feel a rant coming on
i do my asda shop online every week and usually spend around £50
on tuesday it shouldve came to £48.66 but they changed £122 to my bank card!!!!!
i have some direct debits to come out and now i have no money in that account so i will have to put some in at some point today in case i end up with bank charges
i called them last night and totally lost the plot when wilbur in their south african call centre tried to tell me it was the delivery charge!!!!!! he said it would take 7 to10 days to give me my money back and any bank charges incurred would not be pAID BY Asda
i called the local branch and the manager should call me back at work today
the manager himself said never use the call centre ,which is the only number on the delivery slip, its in south africa , always call the local branch!!!!!!!

That sure is a pain! I've had it happen SO many times! I hope it all works out for you.
By the way, what is ASDA? I'm in the U.S. so I have no idea!

34 days to Christmas....I´m happy, cos Christmas commercials are mountin up now...all the shops are decked out.....the Christmas Market starts on Monday and the iceskating place is already going....with a fake Santa Claus standing there and them selling foods and Glühwein...
....
....I just wanted to stop by and say good morning to everyone.
I'm sitting here sipping my cup of tea (I had to give up coffee last week. I was getting such heartburn and indigestion all the time. A week w/o coffe and it's been a week w/o indigestion. I did have a 3-day headache at first, though. LOL)
It's chilly outside, but warm inside.
I have next Tue and Wed off (along with Thursday) and am looking forward to it. It'll be a busy weekend and week, but it's a good kind of busy.
On Black Friday I'll start wearing my Christmas-y jewelry and my socks with bells on them.
Chirstmas is sooooooo close!!!
Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning Friends!
After TrackRebel mentioned seeing Christmas commercials -- I just realized -- I'm not seeing ANY Christmas commercials on television! Oh - I guess I HAVE seen some ToyrRUs and WalMart about Christmas toys. But for the last several days - nothing. Wow!

That wasn't a very cheerful post! IronEagle -- I'm glad you have seen some Christmas lights AND a Christmas tree on your drive home.
I am having a delicious (decaf) cup of coffee every afternoon with either Tiramisu or Pumpkin Spice creamer from the dairy case. But "Italian Sweet Cream" is still the best flavor!!!!!

Good Morning, Friends!
Yet another cold one here in Raleigh, although 33 sounds alot warmer to me than yesterday's 29. Moving up a starting digit and getting past the freezing mark has a positive psychological effect.
Speaking of digits, let's see what ones come up today in our count:
Well, to start off, this is Day 8 of our wonderfully fantastic 2008 Christmas Season. In addition:
Days to Christmas Day: 35 (That's five weeks, guys!)
Days to Thanksgiving Day: 7 (One week from today!!)
I'm posting earlier than usual this morning, since I have an all-day class.
(The state of NC requires 12 hours of insurance-related training each year to keep your adjuster's license.)
Have a Thrilling Thursday/Fantastic Friday Eve!
Keep that Christmas song, and the spirit of the Season, with you.
(Sorry I missed you so close yesterday, Bing.
Guess I must have posted and moved on to anther thread.
Was not trying to avoid you, my coffee-saturated friend!)

Five weeks. Five weeks to shop. I am not going to feel the rush today. I am going to drink my cappuccino listen to my Christmas music and wrap presents. I am feeling quite festive this morning.
I saw a Hallmark commercial on television this morning and it was very Christmassy!
Morning, so very close now, and closer everyday (obviously). Remember to watch the Christmas shows nightly on ABC Family, tonight will be A Carol Christmas @ 8 PM CST followed by a Christmas Caper.
no, i'm not going to the movies, i am watching it on the sky channel movies 24!
not too sure just yet, supposedly about a visitor who visits a grief stricken family on christmas eve and renews their faith in the holidays!
sounds great.....watching a movie at home is nice too.....I´m just a bit tired of it...
