Thanks guys. Orion is a great little horse and it was relaxing to know he would be good, as opposed to the tension from riding my horse who doesn't always behave (Orion isn't mine).

Not to mention it's a BROWN ribbon.

Granted...it's weird and combines boredom with periods of frantic stress... oh well it's money:)
Mav I am sending wishes of jobs your way and I had an idea...well 2 ideas
1- your local Small Business Association will know of any local business that are receiving a loan and expanding and that might be a valuable resource..
2- Have you tried apply with the State govt?? They always need managers and such. Boring , I know, but hey.
3- Banks they have the right hours and you're probably all set to be a loan officer or some such with just a bit of training...

Hey, I didn't think of that. I was just please that it wasn't the old baby shit brown that most 8th place ribbons are. It's a beautiful chocolate color. Yum, chocolate.

Let's see...I've bored msg and chased away others with the horse talk...(see why I'm single...most people can't stand my favorite topic of conversation )...What can we talk about?

I got nothing 'cept maybe a rant about co-workers who are "sick" on Monday...or Tuesday. I'm sorry, but the best bet if you're really sick is to come in so we can see you're on death's door and then leave early, because no one really believes your sick. We all think you're playing hooky and extending your weekend. Or is it just me?

I personally don't care if someone takes a sick day right on a weekend, to extend it, because it really doesn't affect my work, and I don't really care about the people I work with too much. However, if my work depended on others', and they had taken a sick day, then I would certainly want some tangible proof that they were indeed sick, and not just taking a long weekend. :)

Oh, and one reason you're single is that you live way too far away for me to commute there for a date night.

HUGS you didn't bore me Rugbug...the kids and summer school did that:)
I'm just all impressed with you placing so well and the lovely jumps.

RIMG- I'm only ticked if somehow their not showing up puts work on my plate.

Zeek approves of this post.



Zeek, have you been taking editing lessons from JQ?


Damn, son, are you yet another of my illegitimate offspring peppered about the country? I was going to *snip* "not edit" /*snip* that very quote!! Well done, squirt!

And good going Bug, although I do worry about the whole Horse-side thing. You should get out more in the non-horse world. I mean there are few things in this world as beautiful as a stallion posing, but you know, you could maybe see about an Italian one now and again....
