And how long ago was that? And isn't it time to revisit it! Sounds like the state of NM is thinking about it--haven't read the details but I saw a few weeks ago they were considering four day work weeks because of the price of gas. I tried to talk one of my bosses into letting me work 4 1/2 days (same # of hours) but didn't get anywhere. By next summer I'll bring it up with the head guy so I can go weave on Fridays at las Golondrinas. Narrow thinkers here. Maybe after a year here he'll realize I know how to manage my time and work.
Los Alamos NL has a nine days in two weeks schedule and I believe has done so for years. It seems to work out pretty well with workers getting a three day weekend every two weeks. I'd guess that Sandia has something similar.
I'm always amused when I see a thread with the last post several years ago resurrected - like this one.
That being said, I'll be flipping pancakes on the plaza starting at 7:00am in one of the tents - probably the blue one - with my colleagues. I've volunteered for this event for several years now - it's a fun way for folks to spend time together, eat breakfast and donate to a worthy cause.

I have not been in over 10 years, we usually have items going on in the ABQ area...
I was amused in the way the comedian George Carlin was amused by wondering why - like:
"[SIZE=2]Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?"
[/SIZE][SIZE=2]"Why do they have braile on drive-through ATM machines?"
"Why women have a "pair" of panties, but just one bra?"
"[SIZE=2]Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?" [/SIZE]
So, I wonder why a thread that hasn't had a post in 4 years suddenly gets answered? I find that kind of funny - but maybe I'm the only one! I guess I could have used the word "bemused" also....

I don't find it funny.
1. They show up on many search engines. That is good. The Administrator likes that.
Our policy has always been that reviving old threads is fine and I don't foresee it changing. We have a special icon that indicates revived threads to make it easy to skip them. These old threads still get a lot of readers, so updating them with new information helps people. Even if the original poster does not see the new reply, others will.

It was fun again this year. I was out there by 6:30am and serving up pancakes at 7:00. The lines never seemed to end and were as long as ever when I ended my shift at 10:00. Yet, despite the lines, nobody complained and everyone was in good spirits. After volunteering I went over to see the car show; wow, there were some amazing vehicles on display. I hope those of you who attended got a chance to see that.
