<p> </p>
<p>So glad all the sisters are doing so well!!  Yippe girls!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Missy thinking move it along thoughts for you!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Super fun:  reconnected with an old college friend on FB.  I had a HUGE crush on this guy, but nothing ever came of it.  We did end up becoming very close friends, were always together and then lost touch.  I swear I was giddy when he wrote on my wall!  And he lives not to far so hoping to catch up with him soon!!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Great news about all the sisters!  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/hello2.gif" style="width:25px;height:27px;" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hey, Taco Bell is some good shit!  (Take that sentence however you want).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In a bit of good news, I finally got an out-the-door price from the one dealer that offered me the low initial price.  They'll tack on sales tax (in NJ, that's 7%, which is no small amount), then a $299 doc fee, $299 DMV fee, and $7.50 tire tax.  But that's all.  No stupid upcharge for useless security features.  So that's really not too bad.  Yeah, the doc fee is a little more than I'd like to see, but I won't quibble. </p>
<p><br>
Now that I have an out-the-door number that I'm comfortable with, I'll shop that number around to a couple other dealers.  If they won't match, or they try to play games with me, I'll tell them to shove it up their a$$ and just buy from this one place.  I'll be okay with that...</p>

<p>Still sounds a bunch of surcharge overcharge bs!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PUDDY: Let’s finish this up.</p>
<p>JERRY: Did you two break up?</p>
<p>PUDDY: (While punching up numbers on a calculator) That chick’s whacked. We’re history. (Back to the transaction) I just left out a couple of things:</p>
<p>rust-proofing..</p>
<p>JERRY: "Rust-proofing"?</p>
<p>PUDDY: (Reading off what he’s adding up on the calculator) Transport charge, storage surcharge, additional overcharge, finder’s fee</p>
<p>JERRY: "Finder’s fee"? It was on the lot!</p>
<p>PUDDY: Yeah, that’s right. (Continues reading off) Floor mats, keys..</p>
<p>JERRY: ‘Keys"?!</p>
<p>PUDDY: How ya gonna start it?</p>

<p>[Once again, we join Elaine and David...in bed as usual...doing what they do</p>
<p>best]</p>
<p>Elaine: Hey, let me ask you a question.</p>
<p>David: Sure.</p>
<p>Elaine: What do you charge for blown shocks?</p>
<p>David: What?</p>
<p>Elaine: Two, three hundred?</p>
<p>David: I don't know. Maybe five hundred.</p>
<p>Elaine: Ah.</p>
<p>[They go back to kissing]</p>
<p>Elaine: What about a bad gasket?</p>
<p>David: Bad gasket?</p>
<p>Elaine: Yeah. Like a terrible gasket.</p>
<p>David: What is all this?</p>
<p>Elaine: Nothing, nothing. I'm just taking an interest in what you...do.</p>
<p>David: What kind of car is it?</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh...any kind of---of a Swedish car.</p>
<p>David: All together, that could run about sixteen hundred.</p>
<p>Elaine: Oh.</p>
<p>[Kiss again]</p>
<p>Elaine: Is that with the parts and labor?</p>
<p>David: Uh-huh.</p>
<p>Elaine: Hmm.</p>
<p>[Kiss...again]</p>

<p>PUDDY: Paper jam.. Got it! (Holds his hand up) High-five. (Elaine reluctantly slaps it. He turns around, and puts his hand out behind his back) On the flip side.</p>
<p>ELAINE: David, um, I..</p>
<p>PUDDY: (Still holding out his hand) Don’t leave me hangin’</p>
<p>ELAINE: You’re a salesman now - and the high-five is.. it’s very grease monkey.</p>
<p>PUDDY: What did I tell you about that?</p>
<p>ELAINE: I’m sorry, but the high-five is just so stupid.</p>
<p>PUDDY: (Somewhat hurt) Oh yeah? I’ll tell you what’s stupid. You. Stupid.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Well, that is really mature.</p>
<p>PUDDY: Yeah? So are you.</p>
<p>ELAINE: Huh?</p>
<p>PUDDY: You’re the grease monkey.</p>

<p>[The phone rings]</p>
<p>Jerry: Hello? Yeah, this is Jerry Seinfeld. What? Twenty-eight hundred</p>
<p>dollars?!! That's the estimate on my car?!! No, don't even do anything.</p>
<p>I'm gonna think about it. Okay, bye.</p>
<p>George: What's to think about? If Putty says it's what it is, it's what it</p>
<p>is. He's not gonna cheat you.</p>
<p>Jerry: Except that it's not Putty.</p>
<p>George: What happened to Putty?</p>
<p>Jerry: Eh, we had a little fight about the move. I took her to this other</p>
<p>place. I think they might be trying to screw me.</p>
<p>George: Well, of course they're trying to screw you. What do you think?</p>
<p>That's what they do. They can make up anything. Nobody knows. "By the</p>
<p>way, you need a new Johnson rod in there." "Oh, a Johnson rod. Yeah, well,</p>
<p>you better put one of those on."</p>

And I love seeing (hearing?) Puddy on <em>Family Guy</em> every week.  Patrick Warburton has a great voice for comedy...</p>

He's great on rules of engagement too!  (CBS)</p>

<p>One of my most favorite Puddy lines...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Puddy and the woman across the aisle share a laugh.</p>
<p>Woman: David, you are so funny.</p>
<p>Puddy: Yeah, I know.</p>
<p>Elaine (grabbing Puddy): What are you doing?</p>
<p>Puddy: It's a long flight, Elaine. I had to get on with my life.</p>
<p>Elaine: By making time with some floozy across the aisle?</p>
<p><strong>Puddy: Yeah, that's right. Well, what's going on over there with you and, uh,</strong></p>
<p><strong>vegetable lasagna?</strong></p>
<p>Elaine: This guy? He's an idiot. he doesn't mean anything to me.</p>
<p>Passenger (heretofore known as vegetable lasagna): I can here you.</p>
<p>Puddy: Well, she doesn't mean anything to me either. If it were up to me, we'd</p>
<p>still be together.</p>
<p>Elaine: Well maybe I feel the same way.</p>
<p>Puddy: Ok.</p>
<p>Elaine: Ok, so now what?</p>
<p>Puddy: Let's make out.</p>

<p>I tried to start reading the thread just now but I've had a bit too much wine and couldn't focus.  Well wishes to everyone who needs them!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I need some words of wisdom.  I will be giving my two weeks notice on the 30th (after my vacation next week).  I don't think it will recieved well.  Has anyone been in this situation.  How did you deal with your final weeks at the company.  I'm leaving either in the middle or at the end of a project that is already past due (not my fault)...and I'm leaving to the company we had hired earlier on to help with the project plus they are they company that owns the software I currently support.  My boss has been blaming them for the delays in the upgrade project so I'm going to try and NOT say where I'm going if I can.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I should be so psyched to be leaving (which I truely am) but am totally dreading the 30th.  I have my letter all written (thanks for the help, theia!) but just am sooooo not looking forward to giving the news.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish I could flash time forward and have it be the September 15th and have it over!</p>

<p>I have thought my leaving would create more stress than it ended up several times.  I just focus on doing what I can (within reason) to make the transition as smooth as possible.  Every time, my bosses and teammates have wished me well. For the most part, I have kept in touch with many of them.  I always avoid my new employers name and dodge the question with something like "I'm keeping that private for now and just trying to focus on transitioning my duties here."  If they are someone you want to keep in touch, make sure you have their personal email/phone and promise to get together for lunch or drinks after you get settled in.  It has worked well for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can certainly understand wishing for time to pass quickly.  Good luck.<br>
 </p>
