I had an epissaphy tonite...
I went to dinner with Brokie friends and had some delicious catfish, but I couldn't finish it all, so I asked for a box. Then, my friends and I retired to the hot tub for a little soak. When I jumped into my car to go home, I complained that my car smelled like catfish. Then, I had to amend it: my car smelled like catfish...OR WORSE!!!

Well,my case is slightly different,´cause I don't usually speak English in my day-to-.day life; but I do the best I can... ::) Besides of finishing my questions with a "huh?"-it's not original...-,sometimes when something that has happenned to me is good,I express my joy with a "Yeehaw¡",just like Jack in the dumb-ass missin´scene...
The problem is that my job is commercial agent,so if a client sign a contract it's not a good idea to shout at him/her like this-even to show I'm grateful to him/her; the client can think I'm crazy and break the contract¡ OMG¡ :laugh: I also say or write "You bet" when I agree with something,even if the person doesn't understand what I mean... ??? Or I call my good friends"little darlin´".
All this is almost an heroe behaviour,because I use to speak in Spanish or in Catalan in my daily life¡. :o

I had an em-bare-assing moment today. I have been noting BetterMost chats, birthdays, and other milestones in Microsoft Outlook, and I just realized these appointments are visible to everyone in my company who cares to take a look at my calendar appointments. Whoa!!

Yes, I think there's an option with Outlook calendars... you can make them visible or invisible (at least where I work you have that option... maybe at some workplaces the calendar is automatically made visible).
LOL, oh geez, I have lots of back-of-mind worries about people at work stumbling across an open BetterMost window or something when I'm not looking. I leave BetterMost minimized a lot at the bottom of my computer screen at work. So that I can sneak-peeks throughout the day.
