STORM2K

Thank Goodness its Thursday.....the first full week of being back to work for alot of folks who took timeoff during the holidays. How is everyone surviving? I am swamped at work - besides taking up the slack of my regular employee being out on maternity leave - I have to get out 1099's and month-end closing. I am so glad tomorrow's Friday and two days off for the weekend....why can't the just be longer....

Days off?? What the heck are they...lol

Swamped...'nuff said.

I was swamped on Monday and Tuesday. Got caught up late Tuesday evening. Nothing was entered into the main NCIC computer system so I had about 200 to enter. I was cross eyed Monday evening. lol.

I'm still on college break and can't find a job yet lol

Come on Friday. Get here faster!!

I'm glad it's Thursday but sure wish it was Friday!!!
We are getting our first King Cake of the season tomorrow at work.

I bought a King Cake last night Bonnie. lol.

I eat so much King Cake during the season it "ain't" even funny!!!
Love the filled ones.

You can say that again Ticka TGIT, this week has been heck, moved over to a new accounting system grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr everybody wants everything, and I am sick with a sinus infection need another vacation lol

PS Had our first King Cake on the 6th at the office and guess who got the baby, my turn next week

Maybe a stupid question, But what the heck is "King Cake", must be a southern thing...lol

Ticka - I feel for you being an ex-General Ledger manager. They're in the middle of year-end closing, which between the auditors and various statements to be filed, it isn't done until the end of March. THEN it's time for the first quarter close. UGHH!!!

I'm looking forward to the weekend to sleep in. We had to work last Saturday because my department is helping the General Ledger department since they have people out on maternity leave. I've been falling asleep earlier than normal this week. I'm sure it'll be an early Friday night for me!

MARDI GRAS TIME ONCE AGAIN FOLKS!!!!

Yes, it is tough being at work but everytime I start wishing for Friday I have to remember that when Friday gets here, I am just that much closer to MONDAY!!

Its a cake down here in the south to celebrate Mardi Gras - usually there is a prize or little plastic baby - if you get it in your portion of the cake - there are lots of traditions that go with it.....

Thanks for the info, Ticka. I actually thought it was either a reference to the three kings who visited Jesus (which occured after Christmas), or a reference to Martin Luther King (MLK Day is next week).

I was wondering the same thing, bliz. I thought it maybe had something to do with Martin Luther King's birthday. Or .... :King:

LOL...I did some research on the King Cake too, and it seems that alot of them are made in New York, of all places, and overnighted to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

LOL

Elvis' birthday was today, I believe.

I'm swamped with homework.... pulling 12 hour nights. Just kidding. But I hate school work. I love sleep.

TGIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and tomorrow we'll all be saying TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had school the last 4 days so I can relate!
