Good morning, John.good mornooning cold dark room mateshope we all had a great weekend. only a half day at work for me today, dentist appointment
Dentists are really scary.
Good afternoon, Linda.Ah so it was you! That explains a lot. Our Operators took particular delight in being ultra cheerful when they called you at 2.30am.
Bleeper goes off, call in, voice on the other end in ultra cheerful manner "Good morning Linda! How are you? We called your bleeper by mistake! While you're here ..."
I was doing it in the 1986-1997 ish Still very slow, but at least we mostly had terminals and continuous flow paper.
The first year of my computing degree was entirely on punch cards. We spent a lot of time in the bar waiting for our jobs to compile and run. Computer people had to have a social life whether they wanted one or not in those days
The insurer I worked for had punch card output for some things and finally got rid of the machines in the mid 90s and gave one to the London Science Museum. Our fail-safe site couldn't get rid of its punches as it had two other clients that still needed them
I learned a lot of the stuff myself to save time and avoid callouts where possible. I didn't know what I was doing, but knew the procedures to follow for many problems.
I'm late today, up until 10 am translating stuff!
Oh, CUTE!!!!Ooh. Just found some coasters I like on Etsy SunnyjollyDesignsArt - Tortoise

Parcels take a while longer , but a postcard or letter from the UK takes about 8 days and we're not slowed down much by Christmas at this end.And I have just returned from here

He's moving out of the house where he was able to keep them
I have one of those in my bedroom. Oops, too much information.I also found this on Etsy. I don't think the maker sees it the same way that the owner of a tortoise might!

Just kidding. But it's still too much information.

Maybe ad another 300 square feet of outdoor area to my pen.
Maybe more.
I'm supposed to meet the member tonight after 5.
back to dentist on thursday, the offending tooth (i think) has been filled, however one next to it looks bad on x-ray so it may get ripped if its sore in that area.
just picked up my last gift for my TORTOISE
