what’s your fave (non-weekend) day of the week?
Twelve super-high-powered-bosses and a whole bunch of normal worker bees like us responded to this question when we asked it awhile back.
all the super-high-powered-bosses liked MONDAY. (shocker!)
here’s some of what our worker bee pals had to say!
clairissa: my favorite day of the week is tuesday. why? because it's the day farthest from monday again. I HATE MONDAYS!
codie: i just gotta say that friday is my favorite weekday. not only is it "i don't care" friday, but it's the last day of the week for school!!!!
haley votes for friday!
courtney: tuesday is my favorite non-weekend day of the week, because it’s treat day of course!
alana:i like wednesday because i am happy that i have made it halfway through the week, and there are only like two days left till the WEEKEND!!!
daisy: friday………cuz it’s THE EVE OF WEEKEND! ( where you leave milk and cookies out for jolly old weekend.) (mmmm, good idea, daisy!)
we feel a little sorry for thursday.
happy birthday, amanda!
we can’t wait to hear how your cake turned out!! and if there are any leftovers! hope allll your wishes come true, amanda!

IDENTITY THEFT!
we took a little trip to the IT department the other day to plug in the 5K28do9 wires that these guys forgot to activate with the thingamajig in order to optimize the whatchadata configurator.
notice anything “different” about these guys? we think some certain someones are trying to steal some other certain someones’ identities. we are ONTO you guys!!!
gary, keith and steve – we’re waaatching you!!
