Oh gosh, I am at work since two hours

[MissHoneychurch]

it feels a like a lot more but the time doesn't pass by!! x( How am I supposed to get through the day at all :cry:

[NMMNG]

1. Play on DU

That's one thing I do to make the downtime pass.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. I am doing that already

:D

And you know I love THAT smilie. One of my favs, just barely a reason to post it.

[NMMNG]

5. Really?

Then I'm glad I posted it. It just happened to be the first one I came to that seemed happy and carefree.

So how are things besides boring at work?

[MissHoneychurch]

10. I believe I stole it from you already some time ago

How else are things? I am excited. My trip is coming closer and closer and I still need to pack :blush: Tomorrow I will buy Dollars.

[NMMNG]

17. How soon until your trip?

Unfortunately your dollars won't be worth a lot right now. Everything over here is sky-high thanks to Chimpy's war on terra. :eyes:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. Why do you hate 'Murika ?

LOL

[NMMNG]

22. Here are 8 reasons off the top of my head

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

24. Hells to the yeah !

[MissHoneychurch]

19. I get more dollars for my euros

so it is good for me.
And life ain't cheap here either.

€1 brings me $1.20.

I leave Saturday 10.40am my time.

[NMMNG]

21. That soon?

You'd better start packing!

And watch out for those weirdos in the airports who want to give you a cavity search. ;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Yes that soon

can't be soon enough :D

I will be at the airport extra early so that I won't get in any rushes.

I know I will pack tomorrow. I mostly pack the evening before I leave.

[MagickMuffin]

31. I hope you enjoy your vacation when you get here ;-O

I haven't ever been to that part of the country, but I hear it's beeeeautiful!

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Thank you

You can be sure I will have a wonderful time. I will be visiting a bunch of DUers together with Joan_Alpern :D

And I've been to parts of the East Coast before and I love it.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

2. Do what I do : sing and dance your way through work.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Might bother my co-worker

and the customers. My singing and dancing skills aren't the best :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. There are many forms of dance

CP can tell you about one. But I don't think it'd go over well at work, either. :evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. My favorite dance at the moment is this one

And some time ago I was told to do the chicken dance. And that wasn't really good to combine with work either :evilgrin: :rofl:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. No pole dancing LOL>

That is not my type of dancing.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. So what is your dance??

OR refers to?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. I once had a coworker who used to dance when she was alone.

Of course, we had surveillance cameras and so made fun of her a lot. We dubbed it the Danika Dance and it was BAD!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

11. LOL I am on camera for sure.

We have hundreds of surveillance cameras at my job so I am sure I have made someone bust out laughing many times.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. We were able to talk back through the cameras.

So it was either used to say, "Boo!" to a coworker or to inform them that you just saw them do something incredibly stupid. I once fell flat on my ass while squatting down to pick up a couple cases of water (one bottle was leaking and I slipped). Immediately, the general manager just started hysterically laughing at me through the camera. So I gave her the finger.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

16. Sometimes I wave at the cameras when I walk by.

I am sure I have been seen talking on my cellphone , eating , singing , dancing , and hitting people on camera LOL.

[Robeson]

7. Well, I remember when there was a lot of drama at your job at one time...

...due to a certain "boss". Maybe you need some more drama to pick things up...

[MissHoneychurch]

13. I had enough drama at work last week

and since I am in the staff association I have more drama than I asked for. So that ain't it. I believe it is the excitement and that I can't wait to go on my vacation. See, since I started this thread only an hour passed ... time is moving in snail speed today I tell ya

[Robeson]

15. You're "Journey Proud"...

...that's cool! :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :headbang: :woohoo:

[Mutley]

23. Take a nap

in the basement. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

26. I would get distracted by all the books there

:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

27. You could make list of everything you want to see for the next 3 weeks.

[MissHoneychurch]

28. Now that is an idea

but I might be afraid that we don't have the time for everything I wanna see.

But we might pass Savannah on our way back from Tallahassee to NC. Maybe we could make a quick stop there :D

[In_The_Wind]

29. Up the coast looks like a better idea than down the coast right now.

I'm going to bring an extra raincoat for you.
I do remember that I did forecast wet weather for this weekend.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Yes you did

I believe the best thing will be when we sit together over the map and make the plans together.

[Callalily]

33. Morning MissH

They should just give you the afternoon off, and tomorrow too! You're useless to them, pining away about your vacation!

Frankly, I think all employers should do that. Give the day off b/4 vacation starts. :rofl:

Still no news about my car, so I'm at the mercy of a colleague to get to work. Sure hope my mechanic can fix it and hope it's just not too expensive. We've got a holiday weekend coming up. I've got four days off in a row, and with no car, don't think it'll be all that much fun.

<<<<<<< me

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Good morning SimplyF

now that would be a great idea. Sleeping in before getting up early on the day the vacation starts because one has to catch a plane or drive somewhere far away.

Sorry to hear about your car. 4 days off and stuck at home??? Wouldn't be nice. So he better gets it fixed pronto.

Lunchbreak is over, now I only have to get through the afternoon. I'll leave at 4pm (which is in about 3 hours) :D

[Brewman_Jax]

35. Almost time to go home

My day is just starting.

[MissHoneychurch]

36. You are right

1 1/2 hours left. And I found a great website to spend my time on instead of working :blush:

How are you doing beside the work thing? :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

37. Work is busy

but at least the long weekend is coming. My brother is recovering from hernia surgery and will be slowed down for the next 6 weeks. Parents are still improving, slowly.

I think that I need a break.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. OK, what are thos stripe people are doing there???

(*dirty mind at work here*)

I am glad your parents are improving but sorry about your brother. Hope he feels better soon.

Yes, that sounds really like you need a break. When will or can you take one?

:hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

43. That's the "huggin'" gif

what were you thinking? :P

I'll take tomorrow off. It's the Labor Day weekend here and Monday is a holiday.

It's doubly hard because my parents can do so little and he does visit during the week; I go on the weekends. The other brother is a slacker (and still gainfully umemployed, so he could be more useful if he wanted) and visits maybe once a month, and that's if he's called.

[MissHoneychurch]

46. Well it had huggin in it but also a bit more

:evilgrin:

You gonna do something for yourself this weekend? Or are you going to spend it with your parents?

So it is better for us to come during the week?

[Brewman_Jax]

48. All sports Saturday

I'll stop by their house on Friday (I hate major shopping on the weekends x(). Any working/lifting/errands will be easier during the week. Going to the last home pro soccer game on Saturday, then finish the night watching my college team play American football.

Weekends are better, since I work during the week. I just have to plan ahead. [

[Briarius]

38. Almost there...

so when do you leave?

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Leave work or leave Germany for my trip?

I leave work in about an hour :D

And my plane leaves Sat 10.40am :bounce:

[Briarius]

41. Cool, what do you do for work?

and yay for Sat. I hope you get one of the new Airbus planes, they have a video screen for each person in the headrest and you can watch whatever you want. It makes the flight a little better...

[MissHoneychurch]

42. I know already that it will be an Airbus

I fly with Northwest Airlines. And back it is with KLM, not sure if that will be an Airbus or a Boing.
I flew before with an Airbus and I loved the screens for each person. And you could also play games.

I am a librarian.

[Briarius]

44. That's cool

local library or school? I liked your Bodensee pics, I wish we had gone when it was warmer, it was freezing when we went and one of my friends almost got stuck in Switzerland...

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Museum library

Thank you. Why did he almost got stuck in Switzerland? Did he tease the Swiss Zöllner?

[Briarius]

47. lol, not for that

he forgot his passport. We crossed on the Swiss side and they didn't check so he didn't realize it. In fact I think the guard was asleep. When we walked back, the German guys definitely checked. He got to go into the office and after showing his student ID and us drivers license, he got to come back with us. He did get a firm 'don't do this ever again' though. We thought we were going to have to leave him in Switzerland and go get his passport.
Anyway, hope your last half hour or so goes fast!

[MissHoneychurch]

49. 10 more minutes

:D

I remember one time my dad and I picked up a small closet (not really a closet, let's call it a small bookshelf with a glassdoor) from my aunt. We lived that the Bodensee, my aunt near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. So we drove through Austria. They let us in but with a queer look as the shelf looked a bit like a kid coffin back in the car. When we wanted to come back into Germany they stopped us. I am sure the guys from the other boarder called ahead.
