Well, I hope so, but sheesh, this is going to be complicated. I thought they were streamlining the process, they are, for the PTO, not the applicants!

Just be sure to put a plastic bag over your head prior to the main event to minimise the mess. Thank you.

I just found out that there is a Deaf Smith County in Texas. Amusing name.

I also deal with mailings going to older folks (age 65) in the South (particularly Arkansas, South Carolina and East Texas). I see some VERY interesting names. I wish I could post them.

Edited cause I stupidly missed the original link, d'oh!

Fabulous! I'd like all of that back, please.

Awesome.
I agree with it all.
Wouldn't it be nice if some bigwig at the park read that and said, "Hmm. Why did we get rid of that? Let's bring it back."

Yeah, I really like what he wrote. We should invite Mr. VanderKnyff to the LoT.

Update on Operation Decaf Decoy

So today I checked in and not only had he spilled coffee on the sign, he left a used coffee stirrer on it. A very nice touch. Interestingly, I guess the guy that maintains the cup and coffee packet supply doesn't care because he hasn't removed the sign.

Current plan of record: He goes home at 4. After he goes home, I will print a new sign and replace the dirty one. I will also print a second one out for CP to get laminated to be put in place Monday assuming he continues to try to do stuff to the unlaminated one to get it removed.
