Christmas 2016 Ten Year Work Reunion!

"Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling." -- Edna Ferber (Roast Beef Medium)

Three Months Shy Of Ten Years And We Meet Again  (12/13/2016)

Thank you Robin for arranging this great get together... Not everyone made it but some of us did! We did, however, catch up on those missing... We told stories about them that can't be repeated here... After all, it is a "child safe website!". Let's get down to reunion monkey business!

But First, Let's Remember The Past Beginning Sixteen Years Earlier!

Paul and Hal were in adjoining offices from 1999 through mid 2006
(We kept each other sane and fought off the goofy management team!)

Ten Year Reunion 2016
When "management" came by this was our expression

There is a "Quality" pair to draw to!

Remember: "Christmas Eve was a night of song that wrapped itself about you like a shawl. But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart...filled it, too, with melody that would last forever." -- Bess Streeter Aldrich (Song of Years)

Ten Year Reunion 2016
We noticed than when "T" came in the bar staff began counting the tables and chairs

Ten Year Reunion 2016
T was our "Procurement Officer"

True Story Time! -   Years ago, we had a large meeting with 100 customers in a high security conference room and the newly installed HIGH COST public address system went out. Deader than a doornail! The "IS" Department scrambled for 30 minutes to no avail. Management announced a 20 minute break!

Paul and Teresa looked at each other and said "LET'S DO IT!"

We jumped in Paul's car and drove to Radio Shack... Yes, Radio Shack.  Paul got a PA system and Teresa got the microphone. We paid for it (a whopping $100 as I recall), drove back tot he plant, walked through security (with them yelling and screaming "You can't do that")!

Teresa ran interference and we went directly to the conference room!

We set up the $100 PA System right before the meeting began again and they used it the rest of the day!

The IS department finally got their $$$$$$ system working the next day!
