"Google Desktop question " What be that eh?  

[Soultrain]

It's a neat little program that has all these neat gadgets in it. Like little games, the weather, news, watch something on Ebay. Ish cool.  

[KnightFourteen]

Ahh... I have something kinda similar to that called Widgets. Widgets are really a Mac application, but downloading Konfabulator will let you use Widgets on a PC.  

[Soultrain]

Mac programs on a PC? That's crazy! eek Not really.

In other news, I found out this morning that my Uncle Jerry passed away last night. What sucks is there's no way I can get off work to go to the funeral, which is three states away. cry

That sucks. They won't let'ya off work... You'd think they'd make exceptions every once in a while, but I guess it depends on where you work, 'cause funerals can be pretty big events especially depending on who it is in relation to you....

Man those Database errors suck! I couldn't post or anything yesterday.

I didn't post much yesterday, 'cause of a lot of overtime at work. I can always use the pay for it though, the new car drains the cash flow.  

[Soultrain]

Historically, this time of year has been super busy where I work, with lots of Overtime. But there's been a slowdown in new housing construction, which means it's slow where I work. I haven't had any overtime in several weeks. Which is very strange.  

[KnightFourteen]

It's so crazy at my work. I worked overtime yesterday and today. Also, I'll be working a little bit on Saturday and on Sunday, so technically I won't have a day of this week, that's like, 12 days straight of working stressed .... I've done it before last year. It was worse last year though, so that's good that's it's not as bad.  

[Soultrain]

I'm actually going to get overtime this week! It's the first time in like, six weeks! And I found out I'm going to get a $150 bonus for perfect attendance! blaugh

Ahh, sweet. I don't think my company gives stuff out for perfect attendance, but I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten perfect attendance, so I wouldn't really know anyway :XP: ...  

[Soultrain]

Well, what's extra cool, is if I can keep this up for the rest of the year, I'll get another $150 plus $200 for the whole year. Cha-Ching! xd

So the first perfect attendance bonus was for half a year and then you'll get an extra $350 for an entire year?  

[Soultrain]

They have two periods, the first from January 1st to June 30th, and the second being from July 1st to December 31st. If you have perfect attendance for either of those two periods, you get $150 per period, and if you get both, you get an extra $200, for a grand total of $500 a year.

So yeah, if I make it to the end of the year with perfect attendence, I'll get a check for $350. whee

Damn, that's pretty good! I guess since my work doesn't do that, I better skip a few days blaugh .... Lol, I took some vacation this year already, I dunno if taking vacation days which are given to you count as breaking perfect attendance.
