Thought you might like some statistics. Someone asked me, so....
In terms of total points (as of about 15 minutes ago), on the overall list
#100 - 2,303 points
#50 - 2,884 points

DUDE! I am so close to one of the top fifty I need to start mega posting!

And this one gives me 1 above that fifty mark. HA!

Now, nobody else can post. I need to retain my ranking. @=)

I can post for quite awhile before I'd disturb your ranking.

I take it that you forgot to take your knives in with you??? :hehe:
I wasn't even there today. This latest bout of insanity came by email.

Sounds like it's time to start getting creative with your mail routing and delivery rules. Bounce emails with an NDR error code 4.4.1 (host not responding) from their domain except for the 3 days a week you're in their office. EDIT: That way you'll be protected from their insanity the other 4 days of the week and you still receive all of their email, just more on your time than theirs.

Yesterday, whilst commuting, I was actually thinking about setting up a video camera on my dashboard, and blogging the "good parts".
Then I realized it would contain at least as much self-incrimination as anything else, and decided not to....
Speaking of commuting - did you find a job?

Ayup! And my evil master plan for conquering the world by working for a small marketing company is going exactly as I have forseen it!! 🙂

Strange, my postings don't usually disturb people's "rankings", they just disturb people ...

And wouldn't it be more appropriate for my posts to rankle her ranking?

That's nothing, I have lousy hindsight, much more disturbing. 😎

No thanks. Then I'd be walking into the impending catastrophe on Monday unaware.

WHOO!

I'm #50 (overall) for about the next few minutes before I drive down to Orlando for the weekend for SQL Saturday 49 and lose my standing to the weekend posting crowd. @=)

I'm also #28 in forum posting. I don't spam this board nearly enough.

Gail,

Isn't your project's "deadline" sometime next week?

It's either next Wed or end of the month, depending who you ask.
