Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: Micca Date: 27 Sep 10 - 10:43 AM I am here in London trying to get packed (skiving off for a cup of coffee just now), wondering why I can find 3 unmatched anti DVT socks but no sign of their partners? Also wondering why Little Wugsie seems to think climbing into my case and adding Eau de Moggy and cat hair to my clothes is a good idea!! I am sure she has been moving things around on the sly while I am at Work!! I am at my normal work for my last day tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednsday (my last Official day) which will be mostly Goodbyes!! Then a 6am start on Thursday for an 11.25 departure which is due at Logan an 13.30. So with a Fair wind and a following sea I should be in South Portland at about 17.00 ish. probably feeling a bit frazzled as my bod will think it is midnight after a long day, The Traditional Amatos Lasagnia sounds good to me!! Just Love their sauce!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: SINSULL Date: 27 Sep 10 - 11:40 AM Is that 9PM? Some of us are time challenged? Don't forget I have an assortment of your clothes here including shoes and probably socks. I will take a look. I will handle bedding, towels, etc. All systems GO. Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: katlaughing Date: 27 Sep 10 - 12:04 PM Sins, 17:00ish minus 12(noon) from when they start adding on instead of counting time like the rest of us, would make it about 5p, I *think*!**bg** |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: Fortunato Date: 27 Sep 10 - 12:15 PM Sinsull, do you have a sleeping bag for him, or should I bring one? |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 27 Sep 10 - 02:37 PM Happy last 2 days as a respectable, contributing member of the employed! Your bed will be ready for you when you finally get here - and this year we have doors that close, lights that go on and off, and toilets that flush! AND hot and cold running water, to boot! ...we will also have a new puppy. You DO have perfect timing, don't you?! |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: ranger1 Date: 27 Sep 10 - 04:07 PM Right, does the gnomish one need to be fetched at the bus station? I usually go right by there on my way home from work at about that time. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 From: Will Fly Date: 27 Sep 10 - 04:15 PM Hey Micca - have a great retirement and a great trip over the water! It was good to meet you at the Black Lion with Max and have a natter about the old days in '60s London. Go well! |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: SINSULL Date: 28 Sep 10 - 10:12 AM How things change. A few years ago, Morti would be demanding that we return him in the same condition he was shipped in. LOL Wish you could be here, Morti. |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: Fortunato Date: 28 Sep 10 - 11:30 PM How was his penultimate day, we wonder? |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!!

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: Micca Date: 29 Sep 10 - 10:03 AM It Is Done!!!! My Tech Colleagues have given me a Tankard!!! (Thats a surprise!) and another colleague ,that I have worked closely with on a very taxing Chemistry course gave me a bottle of Very Good Wine, They had a selection of pix with quotes from various sayings on a board, mostly quotes from thinngs they remembered me saying over the years, Including "as much use as a Chocolate teapot" " If you hacked the top off her head she would have "Idiot" printed right through her like "Brighton" through a stick of rock" and bannered across the top "He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence and it was difficult to tell which was which" not a lot I can add to that!!!! |

Tis the Feast of St Micheal and the Angels today and a 1st class feast at that...Somehow I doubt you took that into account in your timing... but She works in mysterious ways. You were in my thoughts today.... particularly when the pigeon flew in to quizzically watch us while chanting matins .... Congratulatory hugs on reserve til Friday.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Sep 10 - 07:25 AM Morgana the Flatulant has settled into her accustomed position (i.e., anywhere she shouldn't be), the other cats are looking positively disgruntled, but she's been in a bad mood since she was delivered here, Tuesday night. Mungo the Bemused has started becoming Mungo the Begrudging... Enjoy the trip Micca, I do not need any more Lifesavers, Salt Water Taffy or Ribbon Candy (I wish to keep my remaining teeth) and I forgot to give you the bottle of sloe gin. Sorry. Give everyone there a big hug from me - one day I WILL deliver in person, just get the machine to pull out the right numbers! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: SINSULL Date: 30 Sep 10 - 08:05 AM That reminds me - I have a scratch off ticket. Wish me luck... |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: Tig Date: 30 Sep 10 - 08:32 AM Have a great time on the other side of the Pond Micca! Remember when you come back you charge them VAST amounts of money to go and sort out the sh** they've got themselves into. You are now retired :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: Bat Goddess Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:16 AM Merde. The bottle of sloe gin was forgot. Ah, well. Sometime, I hope... Micca, your bed in our modest hovel awaits, too -- NO flush toilet and you'd best keep the door open otherwise red moggy will plop with a flourish from the beam above the door smack on your retired bod. (Talk about awakening with a start!) But the sheets are clean and the floors mostly shovelled off. Have a grand time at the Getaway! We're looking forward to seeing you soon. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: Where's Micca 2010 & Re-tiring Congrats!! From: ranger1 Date: 30 Sep 10 - 07:02 PM I've just gotten back from delivering the Gnomish One to Mary. He had his champagne nicked at Logan while getting his luggage off the carousel, so he was a tad grumpy, to say the least. I had to take him to the supermarket to restock before delivery to Mary. |

Easy journey and everything fine until some tripehound lifted one of my bags, it was an obviously Duty Free, but you would think it was safe any I am summoned~!! Bye |
