    I don't spend too much time in here because I happen to live in a
    different time zone to most of the other noters.  Every time I open
    this conference up in the morning there are 300,000 unread notes
    (truth)
    
    And woe betide me if I have a day off.............

    (being busy instead of bored).

    busy as all he(double-toothpicks).  One of our top people just took a
    new job and we have another going out on maternity leave.  No rest in
    sight.  the days sure do go by fast...

    Actually, mine goes in spurts.  You will NEVER see me in here
    the week of quarter end, except maybe at night.
    
    Sometimes, things lighten up for 2 or 3 days, and I can spend
    part of a day every day in here.  This, of course, seldom lasts.

    Good question... of course, most of the people to whom it applies won't
    be answering the question, by definition, because they don't spend much
    time in here anymore.

     I knew a girl named Shawnee. (She was 9 years old, I hope I'm allowed
    to call her a girl.) :-)

Weren't the female blue cartoon thingies called Smurfettes?  Dick Binder
oughta be able to answer this one.
700.36BIGQ::SILVAMr. LogoWed Apr 17 1996 11:126

	Thingie...there was only 1 smurfette. One woman, for all those men.
Hmmm... but they always lived without before.....

	Hey, should we call Shawn, Shawnette for now on?
700.37BUSY::SLABOUNTYDon&#039;t like my p_n? 1-800-328-7448Wed Apr 17 1996 11:476
    
    	Shawna and Shawnee are "accepted" female names.
    
    	My neighbor has a niece named Shawna, and there's an actress
    	named Shawnee Smith.
    
700.38CSC32::M_EVANSIt&#039;s the foodchain, stupidWed Apr 17 1996 15:404
    So who were the biological parents of baby smurf?  I always thought
    this was a pretty sick program.
