Drive-Thru Confessional
-------------------------

The elderly priest, speaking to the younger priest, said, "It was a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the church always fills first now."

The young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, "And you told me adding a little more beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I supported you when you brought in that rock'n'roll gospel choir. Now our services are consistently packed to the
balcony."

"Thank you, Father," answered the young priest. "I am pleased that you are open to the new ideas of youth."

"All of these ideas have been well and good," said the elderly priest, "but I'm afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru confessional."

"But, Father," protested the young priest, "my confessions and the donations have nearly doubled since I began that!"

"Yes," replied the elderly priest, "and I appreciate that.

But the flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell or Go to Hell' cannot stay on the church roof.

Time to hit the road for work and get my Friday started, I hope you get to sleep soon Tony.

[A Friend of Charlie]

I tried reading through some of that...  Some is very interesting.  Other stuff is very blurry.    For example, WTF does 1995 -36.8øF (-38.2øC) in Chosedachar, Komi-district, on 67øN mean?

Thanks brother, be safe.

[A Friend of Charlie]

We're in the home stretch.  Just have to get customer verifications and then I can head to bed.  The actual work part is completed.  Just in case you were keeping score at home.

I gotta join the club here. Meetings all day and most I have no deal why? Gotta be more cutbacks. Meetings are never good anymore. If I walk in and don't see coffee and cookies it's going to be a long day.

Things have really changed the last 15 years, companies wanted the lifetime employees and we're proud about having people retire and it motivated everyone, now everyone goes to meetings wondering if it's their last time.  When I was at Krispy Kreme, you never wanted to go eat lunch with the owner because that was his way of getting rid of people, you went to lunch and no one ever saw you again.

       Thanks Chip it's their cutbacks that effect everyone. Do more with less. Have a great day. Enjoy your Friday.

Morning LSU & Blue, sounds like hell night around here with Tony working all night and Rick worrying about cutback meetings.
