Spotlight on the Staff

[Matt]

Hello everyone

The staff has agreed on a great idea to update the "Facilitator/Manager of the Month" program. We are still going to feature a pic on our home page but we have decided that each of us will take a turn.

Every week, another of the staff members will have a thread in here and we'll throw up some canned questions...have them answer and hope that others will have stuff they want to know. And so on.

This is new, we'll see how it goes but we want to make sure that each of the staff members here have a chance to be recognized.




The schedule is as follows:
Bethany: June 23-29, 2008
Brice: June 30- July 6, 2008
Daghain: July 7-13, 2008

[wizardsrainbow]

I love it! I myself want to get to know some my comrades a bit better. A grand idea IMO.

[Daghain]

I think this is going to be a lot of fun!

[Nerak]

oh no...mayhap I should get you a better, newer picture of myself....

[Odetta]

*gulp*

:ninja:

[fernandito]

Odetta should take a picture and post it on here, just for this occasion.


(whistle)

[Odetta]

I'm thinking not... besides, it's Bethany's week next... I'm safe for awhile!

[Daghain]

Just get yourself a large oriental fan to hide behind. :)

[Odetta]

hey! not a bad idea... maybe a plate would be more fitting. RIZA!

[Daghain]

YES!!!

[Letti]

Sounds amazing. :rose: You always come up such great ideas.

[Matt]

This one is all Jerome Letti, it was his creativity that spawned it.

[Letti]

Jerome is a treasure but we all have known it for long.

[fernandito]

I'm safe for awhile!

Well in that case , you have plenty of time to decide on the angle of the shot, the lighting, location etc. :D

[Bethany]

great! i'm getting my hair done saturday so i can post a new pic. :D

[Jon]

I'll be waiting

[wizardsrainbow]

I can think of a 1000 worse positions to be in...and standing behind Tamez is definitely not one of them. :rose:

[Ruthful]

great! i'm getting my hair done saturday so i can post a new pic. :D

:dance:

[Randall Flagg]

I edited the schedule to add feverishparade.
Noticed that my session includes the dates when we have the Dt.com gathering in Vegas. If I give drunken incoherent answers, that will be my defense-even if it is earlier in the week:panic:

[Daghain]

Oh, that could be FUN. :D

[wizardsrainbow]

You're up today Dags!

[Daghain]

It's there now. :)

[The Lady of Shadows]

[Jean]

[Nerak]

:panic:

My turn is next week!!

:panic:

What am I going to say?

:panic:

Can I be on vacation next week?

:panic:

[Letti]

No, you can't. :P

[Patrick]

:panic:

My turn is next week!!

:panic:

What am I going to say?

:panic:

Can I be on vacation next week?

:panic:
Karen, you'll be fine. But if you want to trade weeks, let me know. My assigned week is shaping up to be busy as heck.

[Jean]

Can I be on vacation next week?

why, of course you can

if you take a laptop along, and spend the whole vacation answering questions

I actually think it is a good idea... nothing will distract you

[Daghain]

Nice one! :lol:

[Nerak]

no no no no, can't take my laptop, it's in the possession of a friend, who swears she's going to give it back but hasn't....hmmmmm.

Thinking it' time to do some bitchin.

And yeah, I just, I don't know, talkin about one's self is a funny thing to do sometimes.

Just a little scared, is all. :panic:

[Daghain]

Don't worry, we don't bite (unless you ask us to). :lol:

[Letti]

Don't worry, we don't bite (unless you ask us to). :lol:

Daghain is right.
Don't worry, we don't bite (unless you look at the other direction).

[alinda]

:ninja:

[Nerak]

but but I only like nibbles....

[Jean]

::nibbles::

[Nerak]

he he he bear fur tickles!!!

[wizardsrainbow]

See, you're doin' fine so far girl!

[Nerak]

yeah yeah yeah...I am waiting for the tough questions to come!!! LOL

[wizardsrainbow]

Yo Patrick! White fluffy clouds! Wake up! You're up Dude! :wtf:

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Nerak]

Nope, he traded with O. At least I thought he did..:unsure:

[Randall Flagg]

Nope, he traded with O. At least I thought he did..:unsure:
It is Patrick's turn. He did trade with Odetta. O comes before P.

[Odetta]

All I care about is that I got out of doing it!:P

[Randall Flagg]

All I care about is that I got out of doing it!:P
You only delayed doing it by a week.:P

[Patrick]

:lol: Wiz remembers my old member title! :lol:

Yes, thanks, I know it's my turn. I came to work early today so I could write something up, but I've been in meetings and dealing with "fires" at the office since the moment I got in, so I haven't had a chance. I'll start a thread right now with some nonsense.

[Nerak]

Nope, he traded with O. At least I thought he did..:unsure:
It is Patrick's turn. He did trade with Odetta. O comes before P.


Are you getting technical with me?!?!?!??! :lol:

[Odetta]

All I care about is that I got out of doing it!:P

Hey Randall...

Wanna switch weeks?

*bats eyelashes*

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Patrick]

:lol: You know, Wizardsrainbow hasn't had his turn yet either.

[The Lady of Shadows]

okay, wanna know a secret?

i soooooo didn't realize it was alphabetical. :lol:

[Patrick]

:doh:

[The Lady of Shadows]

:lol:


shutup patrick. you are one of the reasons i'm spending so much money on books these days! :evil:

[Ruthful]

Just recall the words of Cicero:


A home without books is like a body without a soul.

[The Lady of Shadows]

yeah but do they have to be so fucking expensive! :lol:



ETA: i have that saying on a magnet on my 'fridg. i think amazon.com sent it to me with an order. :)

[Jon]

Patrick,

Do you drink well with others? :thumbsup:

[Ruthful]

yeah but do they have to be so fucking expensive! :lol:

Co-sign.


ETA: i have that saying on a magnet on my 'fridg. i think amazon.com sent it to me with an order. :)

I used to have a t-shirt from Coliseum Books that actually had a picture depicting Cicero, with the quote!

My claim to fame is having visited CB-its second incarnation in mid-town-during the most recent New York City blackout.

They were the only building in the vicinity with a working generator, which explains why their bathroom was completely destroyed within 48 hours.

[Ruthful]

BTW, for those of you who don't know what Coliseum Books was,

http://www.coliseumbooks.com/

[Patrick]

Patrick,

Do you drink well with others? :thumbsup:

You'll have to ask me that in my Spotlight thread. :D


(Unless one of the staff members in this forum moves these two posts there first.)

[alinda]

alinda: November 10-16, 2008


I am nervously thinking of what to tell already in my essay.:scared:

[Odetta]

just make it up as you go along... that'll be my plan

[Patrick]

Essay? I got an email at work on Monday from Jerome telling me to get my ass in gear, so I just logged in, opened a thread, and spewed out whatever obnoxious garbage came into my head. I'm still shocked and ashamed when I reread my opening post.

:doh:

[Daghain]

As well you should be. :lol:

[wizardsrainbow]

As well you should be. :lol:


Oh that's harsh Dags, cut the California boy some slack. You know it takes until about 5pm until they get their heads screwed on straight enough to be intelligible.

[Matt]

:rofl:

That was some real slack there David.

[Daghain]

:rofl:

[alinda]

:thumbsup:Oh yeah I feel better already ! Y'all crack me up :wtf:

[wizardsrainbow]

<wizard lays in wait until it's alinda's turn....oh wait, shite, wizard's turn comes before alinda's>

runs and hides

[alinda]

:lol:

[Patrick]

As well you should be. :lol:Oh that's harsh Dags, cut the California boy some slack. You know it takes until about 5pm until they get their heads screwed on straight enough to be intelligible.
That's right, just in time for happy hour! :D

[gsvec]

<wizard lays in wait until it's alinda's turn....oh wait, shite, wizard's turn comes before alinda's>

Wuss. :lol:

[Daghain]

Priceless! :lol:

[wizardsrainbow]

Seriously, this is why we all come here...in a world that has PLENTY of problems, to be able to share a laugh with someone, keeps us all sane and grounded.

I just LOVE this place...I just hope I don't get fired for being here so much as I have no time to do so from home (I know that sounds backwards, but it's reality).

[Nerak]

:couple:

<--tells Wiz, get back to work, we need you here!!! But not enough to get fired.

[Patrick]

Maybe Wiz and I should start our own bank. :lol: Of course, then we really wouldn't have time to be here.

[Matt]

I'll take a piece of that action. :cowboy:

[Hannah]

I'll do HR for your bank. :D

[Patrick]

Maybe Wiz and I should start our own bank. :lol: Of course, then we really wouldn't have time to be here.

I'll take a piece of that action. :cowboy:
That's right! There are three of us in the industry!

I'll do HR for your bank. :D
:dance:

[Nerak]

I will be a teller or secretary. I have been bonded before and I type really fast!

[Jon]

I have been bonded before

A joke is missing!

[Patrick]

I have been bonded before
A joke is missing!
:lol:

Karen, you're hired! :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

*raises hand*

Ahem, ACCOUNTANT here!

[gsvec]

Previous HRIS/Payroll Director here - I'm in!

[Nerak]

I have been bonded before
A joke is missing!
:lol:

Karen, you're hired! :thumbsup:

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew dabbling in bondage would come in handy one day! :lol:

[Brice]

Well, I'm pretty sure I couldn't even get a $1.00 loan from your bank ...even if I deposited a $100. :lol:


So...I SERIOUSLY doubt y'all would hire me.

[Odetta]

You guys aint so tough! Where are the HARD questions?

[Daghain]

Okay, just remember you asked for it. :evil:

[Odetta]

I'm waiting!:(

[Daghain]

Wrong thread, vato. :lol:

[Patrick]

A whole week in the spotlight and Jerome just listed three questions he never asked me. :P

[Jon]

You know...the title of this thread, "Spotlight on the Staff," seems like a title to a porno!

[alinda]

Jon, EVERYTHING has a porn title in your mind!:evil: Mary Poppins wouldn't be safe in there! :lol:

[Jean]

I dread to think...

[Daghain]

Don't visualize! Don't visualize! :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

::points and laughs::

:huglove:

[Hannah]

I am going to be removing this section from the active forum and archiving at the end of the year. If you have any last minute questions you want to ask the staff, please do it now ... because this forum will be gone in January*.



*Actually, I'm not sure exactly when I'll get around to removing this forum and archiving it. It could be end of December - it could be beginning of January - hell - it could even be February. I'm a horrible procrastinator sometimes. :D

[Brice]

That would make you an excellent procrastinator as opposed to a horrible one. :lol:

[alinda]

I wouldnt mind moving it to the clearing...just saying.:cool:

[Hannah]

That would make you an excellent procrastinator as opposed to a horrible one. :lol:

I love it when you accentuate the positive, Brice! At least I'm excellent at something. :D

[Brice]

:D

Of course I am like a god among procrastinators. :blush: :lol:

[Jean]

fat chance you are

I have unanswered questions in my spotlight thread dating as far back as October 2008, and that's not for the lack of desire to answer them. It's that I keep delaying... procrastinating... in guise of thinking them over, you see... turning them over in my mind...

I am going to answer them before it is too late, though.

[Brice]

I've been putting stuff off for so long I've forgotten half of it.
