and I get this, after once again entering my job title and company size for the eleventy-ninth time:
>>> There were errors while processing your request.
– industry: REQUIRED
Please update any missing demographic fields to continue. <<< Of course, there is no field for Industry available. (Facepalm) But I did get in by going to My Workspace first, then entering my job title and company size for the eleventy-tenth time. Sho'nuff, Community Central newsletter is checked. Oh, argh. -

In reply to I haven’t received
As a Female Feringi is now tasked with producing this News Letter I expect that she wants to get paid before starting assembling this weeks Newsletter.
And here I thought that Female Feringi couldn’t be involved in Business. :0
Tammy must be Zac’s [b]Special Friend[/b] and adviser to get away with this Illegal Activity. 😀

by hal 9000 · about 15 years, 1 month ago
In reply to Did someone mention a Public Holiday over there
No not at all because Ferengi don’t allow Government Interference with Business so things like Overtime and Public Holidays are not allowed because they adversely affect [b]PROFIT.[/b] :p
There isn’t a single Ferengi in the Universe who would expect things like Overtime, Public Holidays, Sick Leave, Paid Holidays o anything along those lines as it would just be so wrong. :0
Their Leader Zac would have to intervene or the Ferengi Business Council would come and take away everything that those Ferengi own in Fines for their Treason. 🙂

Geee…. and I thought I was the only one with bad eyes 😉 :p – I did mention in last weeks mailing that with today being a Holiday – it wouldn’t go out (I should have actually sent it out as instead I spent all day trying to do my darn taxes.. what a nightmare – I hate doing taxes – It’s a pain in the a$$ that always gives me a pain in the head)

What did you think of the new section? Featuring 5 of the top 100 active members?

February 16, 2009 at 9:41 pm #2774924
It has been changing
by rob miners · about 15 years, 1 month ago
In reply to You think that needs bolded?
frequently lately. I think that JD has been a bit preoccupied with recent events but I’m sure that he will be back in good form. I’m surprised to see OH Smeg at the top of the list as he has spent some time away recently. He’s made up for it though. Must have been the spell. I’ve been stuck on the rail at number 3 for awhile now. Everyone seems to work around me. Are you sure that no one has pinned me there. Boxy is in the running as well as OM. Is he making a push for the top spot?
What will be the outcome next week?
We will just have to wait for the NewsLetter. 😀

February 16, 2009 at 10:09 pm #2774920
It’s not in order…
by Tammy.Cavadias · about 15 years, 1 month ago
In reply to You think that needs bolded?
even though that was the order listed – its actually not – at least that’s what the top 100 page states – so I’m taking it for its word 🙂 Figured I’d just rotate the five I list week to week as a show of appreciation and kudos
Well these taxes have fried my brain so I’m off to give it a rest at least until my alarm goes off at 5:30am ET and its back in front of this black box again 😀
