MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY

And thanks for making my 5 months as a Snowatcher a very enjoyable and fun experience.

[D-Dog]

[SnoWhite]

Morning :yawn: is it Christmas yet???

[Xena]

Merry Xmas Eve. Have a good one all!

I've just been to the fisherman's co-op at 5am. I ordered prawns and was told to come at 7am. Thought I'd get in to avoid the crowds - mayhem!!!! Can't get a park, Seaworld Dve is chockers with cars. I came home and rang my prawn provider - can pick up at his house later! Hehe all the poor buggers who don't have contacts! Apparently there were fist-i-cuffs there yesterday morning. A friend of mine waited 1 and a half hours for the trawlers to come in and didn't get any prawns - went home empty handed, aswell as flustered and shaken by the poor form of the throngs in waiting. It pays to order!

morning

Time to set the reindeer traps on the roof. Oh the things I could do with one of Santas reindeer!

My daughter objects but we've been trying for generations and I'm not giving up on a family tradition.

Well Pink Princes now tells me to just catch Ruldolf (she wants to see what he looks like) but then I have to let him go.

[Podlettte]

I'll smack you with a wet trout SnoWhite for bah humbugishness like that in future tongue.gif

Not christmas just yet, but I'm listening to carols on my iPod while I work, so it's feeling more like christmas today and this rain is nice smile.gif

[Tobi]

*sigh* I knew it was too good to be true. Yesterday was another record day for the system with 1,543,740 events and now the system is down.

:(

So much for getting out early today.

[bdenny4]

What are these 'events' Tobi?

[Tobi]

I run the tracking system for a large logistics company.

As you can imagine it's a rather busy time right now.

[Podlettte]

glad I sent my stuff with someone else tobi ;) tongue.gif

[Bear]

Morning all nearly knock off time. :D

[SnoWhite]

I'll be fine once I'm done here. Month end is busy for me at the best of times, but having to get everything done early is a nightmare. Most of our suppliers have closed, so tying up loose ends is a pain. Plus I work with people who don't give a damn. Hmmmmm.....maybe they will if I don't pay people and they can't order something because our credit has been suspended. Ggrrrrrrrr........

Plus you get a great brekkie

It's going up and down every 5 minutes so it's just chance if you can get in or not.

It's not too bad at least the back end is working, if that wasn't working then we would have big issues.
