hello? hello? anyone out there?

my dept at work is made up of - bossman, officelady, coworker, marketing guy, new one, sandy, and me. officelady has worked at the company longest, followed by me & bossman, then marketing guy, coworker, sandy, and new one. sandy & new one actually came from the same previous employer. talking to marketing guy today, he & i realized that sandy & new one are idea stealers. subltly, but definitely. they will say they thought of something that i or marketing guy thought of. but, it's not the kind of thing where you can call them out on it. it is much too subtle. we are wondering if this is a strategy from their previous employer, or if they are both just too eejity to discern what they hear from what they think up. we shall be keeping an eye on these two.

what else would you like to know? had a productive morning. mailed a pkg to mini-me, a ballingtimes card to beavis, and a couple b-day cards to other folks. had a lovely running adventure today in the beautiful weather. ate an entire packet of cimmanon graham crisps. was productive at work. found some great bargains at steinmart.

i was "late" again to the vanpool this afternoon. got there at 4:23pm, and they were already there. they are always nice about it & all, but i am sure they are kind of ticked. this is the backup driver, not the jerky driver. him - i would not care so much, but the backup... she is all nice & accommodating, so i hate to make her wait. but, how am i supposed to know they would get there that early? huh? huh? how would i know?
