Well, when I retired, they gave me my computer.

I face the entrance so I have those precious few seconds available to minimize the window... most of the time!

Wait!<BR><BR>Are you telling me this is *not* my job?<BR><BR>My friends think so :) I was chiding a girlfriend about all the sports she watches and she said "well you have fodors". I guess I am bad and actually I had fodors on my screen this morning and bam! there's the boss and nothing on my desk. He didn't say a word.

I work for myself and so far I have left me alone and let me stay online as long as I want,because I will only have to stay up late at night and finish.<BR>I am a good boss to work for,I don't think I will quit.AND I know I won't fire me~

Jessica, haha! I'm with you. I reward myself with little Fodor's breaks now. My friends totally tease me about working for Fodor's while hanging out in another company!

Didn't discover Fodor's until after I retired two years ago. I'm thinking it's probably a very good thing!

There is a new medication but you can only get it by prescription.<BR>It is for Fodor's addiction, which is an addiction affecting thousands if not tends of thousands of average American employees.<BR>When you go to the Fodor's site and see that it isn't working do you:<BR>1) freak out?<BR>2) log back on to make sure it wasn't just some sort of technical glitch?<BR>3) wait a few minutes and check back again?<BR>4) try a different internet browser?<BR>If you answered "yes" to any of these questions you need to call your physician and ask for " fodorex". This new medication decreases your desire to be constantly connected to the Fodor's site while decreasing your accompanying anxiety during the first few days.<BR>Side effects include: dry mouth, jet-lag and diarrhea.
