Ok I have worked there for 15 years.. A lot has happened in that time most good some bad. I was thinking that I am going to start trying to write them down and since I gave up blogs years ago this is as good a place as any.

Way back when in Year 1 when I first started, Joe and I were not close at all. Since you all know Joe I am sure you are amazed. Anyway he hated me. He denies it but he did. (Quiet joe this is my story!)

This was back before we had a fully stocked kitchen as well the Kitchen was a water cooler and a coke machine more or less. Joe was in charge of dealing with the coke machine. No one spent alot of time in the kitchen back then. One day Dennis Desmith and I were in there talking when joe came in. Dennis was asking me about my bbs and joe over heard. We both ran bbs's we both were in fido. So we started talking. He asked what I used to connect to bbs's. I told him I just do it local on my own. He had some software that he wanted to lend me.

I installed it and liked it actually can not remember what it was but beside the point.

2 days later Joe called my desk asking where it was. I told him I gave it back to him. He was very adamant in saying I did not. Blah Blah blah.. In Joe fashion.

So now I had to get up and walk down to Joe's office to make sure I was right (which now we know I always am) I get to the window that is in joes office and the program, Box, Manual, and Disks were ALL sitting on his desk RIGHT next to him.

I hit the window hard and Made a Goofy I told you so face and Pointed at the software. He laughed and mouthed "sorry" and I go back to my desk.

He calls me 15 min later telling me that right when I did that the web cam snapped a picture and that he was going to use it for something. (Dont remember what) But that picture is still in the archives and Joe and I both still do that to each other when we do something stupid (Like not looking on the desk before bitching at a co-worker)

One of the MANY apogeisiums that we have up there. I will post the picture on monday unless Joe beats me to it.
