*pats self on back*

I just overheard my boss talking to a client about me on the phone.
His exact words: "Carey is remarkable. The best estimator I have ever come across in my 40 years in the business"

This? makes me very happy. What makes me happiest is that he had no idea I could hear him. *big grin*

LMAO you need to get your ears cleaned out. I'm sure he said something like....

"Carey is a remarkable pain in the ass today. As her boss I've aged 40 years dealing with her mess"

Thanks everybody. I know that I won't get a raise because I got once recently and I know we aren't in a postition to give me another one. But it's nice to hear him talk nice about me to a client.

*whacks Breezy* Just because you think I am a pain in the ass, doesn't mean everybody does.
Hush up Glow and Jen. *glares*

Man, you have a lot of veggies. Oh that's right. You have weirdo vegetable tendencies. Well, it just makes you that much cuter.

Whenever I hear the word steak, I think of the delicious meal that Glow's DH made for us one time when I visited. It was uber yummy!

(Yes, I'm trying to make you all jealous. :P)

He made me lasagna. *sticks tongue out at Jen*

Well, he made me cheese & crackers. *sticks tongue out at Jen & Carey*

Wait a minute. That was Glowie. Never mind. *grin*

Funny how Glow doesn't seem to cook for us when we visit.

And Nookie? you're bragging about cheese and crackers over lasagna and steak?

It was all I had LOL.

Glow has made breakfast for me. It was yummy, too.

And I've had cheese and crackers several times.

Nyah nyah. *giggle*

Glow and I shared a cherry once. *grin*

She nibbled on my ear with a mouth full of Pringles.

LMAO. I guess maybe you win that one. Though it was a nice nibble. :)

5/16/2006 1:29 PM

Yeah, I win that one. We shared the cherry using only our mouths.

Sheesh.

Of course you're the best estimator, Carey. Vegetables are brain food, after all. So what if they also make you poot? It's a small price to pay, I say.

What kind of steak are we having? Tom will not be home for dinner tonight so I am available, and I have clean hair.

*veggie poot*
Thanks everybody. Today was one of those really great and happy work days. I really could not ask for better bosses. They have been a godsend for my company. If and when they leave, I have no idea what I will do. I could never work for the owners of the company again.

Can you estimate the number of minutes/hours, once we get to Colorado, before Dbf whines for sex.

Testing Carey's estimation skills.

5/16/2006 4:34 PM  
Blogger Bravie said...

I am assuming that you mean once you get to your destination in Colorado, not just into the state of Colorado.
*puts on thinking cap*
I estimate that once you are there, and settled...*calculates*...I estimate 7 minutes and 42 seconds.

Do I win a prize?

I'm always late to the party now that I've been leaving the computer until later in the day.

Congratulations! It is obvious to everyone, even a boss-type person, how great you are.

*pats Carey on the butt* Good job! You aren't going to sue me for sexual harassment now, are you?

Seriously, be very proud of his statement. You deserve it. Besides, it's your competency that allows you to play on the net during your workday. :-)

sexual harassment? hell no. I've been waiting for someone to pat me on the butt. You win the prize. So far you are up to one free drink when you come to visit me in November. *grin*

You are all talking about me and I wasn't even here.

I don't cook. Shawn cooks. That's why I don't cook for you. duh.

As for this post, I'm just wondering who he had to defend you to.

*glares at Glowie*
He wasn't defending me. We had been working on a very difficult project yesterday and it required some very creative thinking. It didn't appear to be possible to do what the client had wanted. I had made some suggestions that would make it as close to what they wanted as possible and both my boss and the client were impressed with my ability to think outside of the box in order to get to where they wanted with the project.
