Good Wednesday Morning, Everybody!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
Welcome to another "Hump Day" edition of the Early Morning Crew! :bounce: How are you today? I, myself, am doing great! I am off this weekend, so today is truly a hump day for me too...a rarity for us retail managers. I understand that our District Manager made a visit yesterday (I think she looks at the schedule to see when I'm off and makes that day the day she comes to my store), so I'm curious how it went. I'll find out when I get there this morning.

Are you ready for the day? I hope so...because here we go! :bounce::bounce:

Song Of The Day: "What's Forever For?" by Michael Martin Murphy

[MissHoneychurch]

1. Good morning Clintmax

:hi:

My day started off quite good. Finally got around to apply for a new ID. The old one is out of date since half a year :blush:

Talked to my date from Sunday yesterday. I called his cell and he answered with "Hi sweetie" :blush:

[Clintmax]

2. Good morning, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
"Hi, sweetie" is a nice way to answer the phone! Sounds like he likes you a lot! You always start MY day off quite good, just by being here with me! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. I thought so too

phew ....

I am thinking about asking him what he does this weekend. And spend it with him (if he is free) instead of going to my mom :blush:

[Clintmax]

6. That would be nice!

And a great way to get to know him better. I don't see a thing wrong with it. Call him and see if he's free this weekend.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. Just sent him a text message

I know calling would be nicer but I don't want to call too often. Now I am nervous because I wait for an answer.

[Clintmax]

22. Yes, I can imagine.

Now you just have to wait for a response. :scared: Hopefully, you'll get one back right away!

[MissHoneychurch]

23. I hope so too

but he is at work after all. So I don't know what schedule he is on. This part I hate the most .... the waiting

[Clintmax]

24. Yes, I know the feeling...

If he's at work, he may not be able to answer right away. Give him time then, my dear. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I will

can't do anything else anyway

AAAAARGH :banghead:

[Clintmax]

28. I know.

Hopefully it will be sooner than later. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. your word in his ear

:)

:hug:

[Clintmax]

31. *smile*

Sending vibes to Germany...hopefully it will reach him specifically and he'll respond to it immediately!

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Thanks Clint

:hug:

[Clintmax]

36. Least I can do!

You're welcome! :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Now I want to go home and hide underneath my covers

till I get an answer :)

[Clintmax]

46. LOL! Well don't do THAT!

:rofl:
Try to do some work. Maybe that will keep you busy and you're mind off it until you get an answer.

[MissHoneychurch]

50. I have to stay at work

not enough overtime to go home :rofl:

[Clintmax]

51. LOL! I see!

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Am I bad or am I bad?

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

56. Naw...you're not bad.

Just excited. :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

58. yes

because he seems like a man to keep :)

[Clintmax]

61. Well that's good!

And a man to keep is hard to find!

[MissHoneychurch]

62. Tell me something new

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

63. I don't HAVE anything new to tell you about that.

:rofl:
You already know everything I could tell you.

[MissHoneychurch]

64. Darn

and I thought you could give me some new ideas :rofl:

[Clintmax]

67. Sorry, my dear.

And now, I have to go get ready for work. x( I'll talk to you tomorrow. Let me know what he says!

[Callalily]

69. Morning MissH!

Hope your wait isn't just too long. Pretty gutsy of you to call him - I'm impressed!
Wishing you a good day filled with good news!

[MissHoneychurch]

72. I am still waiting

but he told me yesterday that this week he is busy as hell at work. So I hope he is just too busy to answer :)

I hate waiting and I am interested in this guy. So I just called. What do I have to lose?

[Callalily]

73. You sound like

me. My patience level is quite low too, but in this situation, sorry to say, you're just going to have to wait. I'm sure it'll be good news!

[MissHoneychurch]

74. I know I have to wait now

I don't want to bug too much. Don't wanna scare him away already. Not after the phonecall yesterday went so good.

[Robeson]

4. Hey Clintmax!.....

...do you have those big weekend plans set up yet?!!....:hi:

[Clintmax]

5. Hail, Robeson!

:hi:
No, not yet...but I didn't do diddly squat the last weekend I had off, so I HAVE to this time! Any suggestions?

[Robeson]

7. Well, when my wife and I are off together, we usually love to go...

...antiquing! It kind of gives us a rush. I know there are some good places there in Northern Florida, so maybe that's an idea!...:thumbsup:

[Clintmax]

8. I LOVE to go antiquing too!

:bounce:
I love flea markets and things, Man! But, there's nothing near us here in Tallahassee. There are a couple on the way down to Orlando. Unless you know some place we don't.

[Robeson]

16. I'm not familiar with the Tallahassee area, but there are tons down

...through I-75. Also, a little closer to you, is highway 19 which goes through various towns. Don't know if you have the time, but you could make a weekend trip going down 19, and hit various towns. Cedar Key has some, as does Crystal River, and of course, Tarpon Springs has a whole antique district. And of course, there are many antique spots on the highway, between those destinations. Don't know if you have that much time this weekend, but if you ever get the chance, the highway 19 extended weekend trip is a lot of fun!!!

[Clintmax]

18. I'll have to check those out then...

Thanks for the info, Man! :bounce:

[tjwmason]

9. Good morning Clint.

:hi:

This morning was supposed to be calm and gentle, but things suddenly exploded so the office has been totally manic (though not in too bad a manner).

Obviously the manager knows how wonderful you are, and so wants to see how folk cope in your absence.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

10. Hail, TJ!

:hi::hug:
What happened that the office exploded? I never thought about it that way...somehow I don't think that's it. I don't think she likes me even a LITTLE bit. :shrug:

[tjwmason]

15. We're due to pay folk's expenses today

Which is a payment of about £30,000, obviously this needs to be signed off by senior management - normally this isn't a problem as there are folk all over the place, but this week they're all in a big pow-wow in Brussels. It was suggested that we delay payment for a week, but understandably and rightly when the M.D. heard this he hit the roof.....so now we have to get everything ready, e-mail the details to the meeting in Belgium, get a signed copy e-mailed back................

She must have horrifically bad taste if she doesn't like you, that's all I can say on the matter.

[Clintmax]

20. Wow. Sounds like a mess to me!

If you're talking about peoples salary, then yes, I can understand it exploding.

I don't know for positive that she doesn't...but that's the feeling I get every time I DO see her, so it's really just a feeling. :shrug:

[tjwmason]

25. Not their salaries - that goes automatically.

This is their expenses (such as if they have to stay in an hotel on company business), so they can be reclaiming over £1,000 just for one person. If credit card bills are due to be paid....then it does become pretty important.

[Clintmax]

27. Yes, it sure is.

I hope it gets taken care of for everyone! So that's what your office deals with then?

[tjwmason]

32. Oh it's all well in hand now.

That's part of what I do, there's some other stuff too...

Believe it or not, things have been so manic that there's been no music today.

[Clintmax]

34. No music? Wow!

I'm thunderstruck! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

37. I'm just thinking what to go for now.

Things have calmed down, either I go with something renaissance (i.e., pre 1600) which would be calming and soothing, or something 20th century and pretty manic.

[Clintmax]

40. Hey, I know what you can listen to!

Il Divo! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

[tjwmason]

52. Not on my M.P.3 player.

Shucks.

[Clintmax]

55. LOL!

I'm tellin' ya, Man...you need to go GET them on your mp3 player! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

57. I've decided to go with Livre du Saint Sacrament by Olivier Messiaen

He was (to my mind) the greatest composer of the 20th century, by a long way.

It's a set of organ meditations on the Holy Eucharist.

I think that I'll pass on il Divo.

[Clintmax]

60. I knew you would.

:rofl:

[Clintmax]

Dupe again! What's going on here? :grr:

[Scooter24]

11. Good morning Clint...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNiUkN4GssI&eurl=

Check out that movie clip...sure to give you an early morning laugh

[Clintmax]

Hail, Scooter!

:hi::hug:
How the hells are you this morning, Dude?

[Scooter24]

17. Doing good

just browsing the news trying to get things going.

How are you?

[Clintmax]

21. I'm swell!

:rofl: I remember seeing that skit when it was broadcast on TV the first time. Laughed my ass off then too! Thanks for sharing the link! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

13. Self Delete

Dupe. :grr::mad:

[NMMNG]

12. Good morning Clint!

How am I doing? Eh. Coming down with a cold, we're in the middle of a frigid snap here (I had to pull out the winter jammies and an extra blanket yesterday), and Aunt Flo is due any time now. Therefore for the next week I'm going to be chilled and stuffy, with cramps, sore throat, runny nose and coughing/sneezing. I'd love to be able to just hibernate at home but of course I have to work, work, work. (and work is where I got this from) :cry: :rant:



"What's Forever For". What a sad little song:cry:--I used to love that when I was younger.

[Clintmax]

14. Morning, Miss Buffy!

:hi::hug:
I'm sorry you're not feeling good, my dear. :hug: I hate having a cold and so far I've been lucky this year. It's a struggle too dealing with so may different people every day. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

I like that song too. It's a little sad, yes...but it is from my childhood also, and I liked then as well, so I keep it in my library and every time I listen to it, it brings back memories.

[buddhamama]

30. Good Morning, Clintmax !

YAY ! for Hump Day. I am happy to hear that you're doing Great and, you have the weekend off- make it a good one. a toast to celebrate and to say thanks. Feel the love :coffee:

[Clintmax]

33. Morning, Mama!

:hi:
Thank you! I feel it too, my dear! :donut: You doing OK today?

[buddhamama]

38. i am in good spirits-

so much so, i am actually looking forward to going to work.

Enjoy your day! :hi:

[Clintmax]

43. That's good to hear!

I hope you have a great day at work too!

[buddhamama]

54. your musical selection

for the day is one i do not recognize. the title is familiar but I can't place the song.

I am listening to "How soon is now?" Morrissey.

"I am human and i need to be loved..." nice sentiment to begin the day with.

[Clintmax]

59. I'm sure you'd know the song if you heard it.

Here's some of the lyrics:

I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds

Or maybe it's me that's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these people keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by

So what's the glory in living
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for...

[buddhamama]

70. Yes,

i recognize the lyrics. good song. :thumbsup:

[Whoa_Nelly]

39. Good Morning, Clintmax!

Am usually asleep at this time here on the west coast, but am up with a bad case of hives.

However, it's gonna be a good day! Am going to an allergist this AM who says he put a stop to the hives.

Hope you have a great day, too!

[Clintmax]

42. Morning, Nelly!

:hi:
I'm sorry you're suffering with hives like that. I understand they hurt like hells. I hope he can get rid of them at once! I hope you have a great day too! :hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

45. Thanks, Clintmax!

It's the itching that drives me batty...that, and knowing that scratching will make it worse. The Benedryl is kicking in two hours after taking it, so I may get a little more shut-eye this early AM. :hi:

[Clintmax]

47. I hope you do!

It's like coming up on 3 am there isn't it?

[Whoa_Nelly]

48. Actually 4 AM

Am in CA.

Still, it's kind of cool to get on DU at this time of day and see (and meet!) other DU'ers would not normally see. :D

[Clintmax]

49. Yes, it is!

I don't get a chance to do that very often, but it IS nice! Welcome to the Early Morning Crew, Nelly! :bounce:

[Clintmax]

65. Well, folks...I hate to have to leave so early...

But I need to go walk the dog, have breakfast and get ready for work. I have to be there in an hour. Same time, same place tomorrow? I hope you have a GREAT day today! Talk to you tomorrow!

Captain Clintmax, signing off...

[MissHoneychurch]

66. I thought it was greekspeaks dog???

I KNEW it ... that you are going to walk him .... :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

75. Have a great day. I'm sorry I missed you. Happy Hump Day!

[Callalily]

68. Hey Clint!

Did you ever think that maybe your DM comes to visit when you're not there because they need the extra help! Maybe things done run quite so smoothly when you're gone! Just a thought . . .
I've got some creative things I'm working on so I didn't get much sleep last night. My poor little brain just kept on working. So needless to say, I'm looking forward to getting into work and putting some of my nightly ideas to use!

[Fox Mulder]

71. Hey Clintmax!

I'm off this weekend as well. I just actually just got off a long eight-hour shift, so it's nice to be home.

Hope you have a good one!

:hi:

[newyawker99]

76. Good morning everyone!
