Hope your New Year's eve is better than mine - seeing that i'm stuck in this here office monitoring the thrice-cursed year-end processing job until 2.00am while everybody else is out getting drunk or getting laid or both...

To console myself, I have my 15" Sirupati. It is against company regulations to bring "weapons" to the workplace but i figure i have a better chance of seeing Elvis than a manager in the office on new years eve. At around midnight i'm gonna gather up all the empty boxes inside the computer room and practice some tameshi-giri.

And a happy new year to you too

I feel for you Andrew. I have to work both New Years Eve and the day after doing crappy retail stuff. When android-like Dick Clark drops the ball in the square i'll be setting product on the shelves. The things a college kid must do to pay the rent;) Oh well. Maybe i ring in the new year a little louder next year;) Happy New Year, folks.

Red,

Sorry to hear you are stuck at work. If it makes you feel any better, I'm not working, but I won't be getting drunk, laid or anything else fun...

Me, the dog and cats are going to watch videos until well after midnight, then hit the sack.

I have found it is much safer, and cheaper to do it this way (although probably not as much fun).

Have a safe Happy everyone!

:D

heh heh... someday i will get me a life like that.

The only good thing about working in computer rooms is that the temperature under the raised floor is low enough to keep a sixpack cool. Just about the only place in the building that is air-conditoned 24 hours which is a slice of heaven in this tropical heat. We call it our "beer cellar"

Have a safe and Happy New Year. I hope 2003 will be good to every one. From the youngest helper to the richest Khuk owner.:) :D
 
My sympathy, Andrew. I was supposed to be in the same boat. But, at the last minute, the client got cheap and figured they could handle it themselves. I keep expecting a panicked phone call.

Hopefully, your job executed cleanly and it wasn't too late a night.

Happy 2003, all.

Happy New Year to you all. I feel for anyone having to work last night...I've had to do it many times and it's not fun. But I didn't have to work last night...had a nice chat with Elvis. Thank God for coffee.
 
Sent to me by a brother:

May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift, your abs, and
your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your
triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count
and your mortgage interest not rise.

May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your
cardiologist, your gastroenterologist, your urologist,
your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist,
your plumber, and the IRS.

May you find a way to travel from anywhere to anywhere
during rush hour in less than an hour, and when you get
there may you find a parking space.

May this evening find you seated around
the dinner table, together with your beloved family and
cherished friends, ushering in the New Year ahead. You
will find the food better, the environment quieter, the
cost much cheaper, and the pleasure much more fulfilling
than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.

May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what
others see in you delight them.

May the telemarketers wait to make their sales calls until
you finish dinner, may your checkbook and your budget
balance, and may they include generous amounts for your
church and charities.

May you remember to say "I love you" at least once a day
to your spouse, your child, and your parent(s). You can
say it to your secretary, your nurse, your butcher, your
photographer, your masseuse, your seamstress, your
hairdresser or your tennis instructor, but not with a
"twinkle" in your eye.

May we live as intended, in a world at peace with the
awareness of the beauty in every sunset, every flower's
unfolding petals, every baby's smile and every wonderful,
astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.

Bless you with every happiness, great health peace, and
much love during the next year and all those that follow.
 
Pretty much.

World looks pretty much the same. Funny that crossing the 12/31, 23:59 mark doesn't reset everything. Would sometimes be nice.

Regards to all and a happy new year.

Joe
