In response to Laura's: "I always wonder how confusing it is for newcomers to the list to become assimilated with all the inside jokes and references that sinister members seem to bat around with ease." Well, I like to think of it as if I were in a room with people who's language I knew well enough to get every other word. Its requires a lot of smiling and nodding. Then slowly, the longer your there, the more you get it. One thing I still can't though, is what is all the fuss about Mr. Chu...is he the new alpha male? Sorry Ken, I just don't get it. Speaking of Newbies. I realized I never really introduced myself. I've been on the list off and on since last year. I have to admit reading all the posts has been a bit like heroin. It was single handedly responsible for destroying my productivity at work . Well okay, so I wasn't that productive to begin with...but still, I had to get clean and stay off for a while. Now, as you can see, I'm shamelessly off the wagon. I'll be better this time and not lurk so much though. Promise. xo, marisa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
