Fantastic word game

It always is and has been a beautiful thing when our campers come back in the Fall, even though nature's occasional inconvenience threatens to quash the festivities like a pocked little drug mug that interjects itself every 30 seconds or so to make sure that you can't miss it.
 
To make sure that you can't miss it, we have a series of fail safe alarms to wake the little kiddies including bells and whistles, a siren, band camp counselors, and band camp bunnies that snuggle up to you and tickle your nose until you wake up.
 
Until you wake up in the morning ever morning during band camp, camp rules dictate, and with the help of new fone technology developed by Darth_vader, your sleep will be punctuated with pleasing thoughts.
 
Question of whether my flight later today gets off in time due to all the cancellations yesterday but we will cross our fingers and hope for the best as the Office Of The Game Czar hits the road to visit some of our satellite band camp locations in the upper midwest.


Even though I will technically still be here through the miracles of modern technology, I will still be out of the office all week long so Mr. Quadraphonic will once again be in charge.
 
The upper midwest is a great place to visit this time of year as long as you don't mind be chased by the occasional tornado.

Hey Mr. Game Czar, you said the next time you went away it was MY turn to be in charge! How come you're always leaving quad in charge and never me?????
 
Tornado chasers are some of the craziest people in the world.


It's because quad is 2nd in line behind me, then you, then Miss Silkie, then Darth. Ok then, Mr. Dmargalotti, since I'm still here and haven't officially sent in the Officer-In-Charge memorandum, you are in charge this week. But if you need any assistance, Mr. Quadraphonic will be available. quad, hope you don't mind. That means, Mr. International Director of Band Camp, that you need to finalize all move-in (and everything else) plans for Labor Day weekend. I expect nothing but smooth sailing next weekend. ;D
 
In the world where I live this week, this is like the fourth thing someone promised me then took away.

At least I still have some of those old printed TPS Reports to assuage my spirit. Good times. Goooood times.
 
Away is where I'd like to fly as long as my destination is some place with electricity and running water which is more than I can say for the place I live in now.

You know what, come to think of it this week isn't good for. I have a few personal obligations that will result in some excused absences on Wed and Friday of this week. So maybe you want to go ahead and leave quad in charge as you originally planned.
 
The place I live in now, came literally within one inch of breaching the bulkhead, but it did not, and will not so long as another hurricane or tropical storm does not arrive on the scene.

And, of course, we have everything else put back to normal on the inside at band camp. The grounds keepers and landscapers will arrive sometime this week to take care of the grounds and gardens, although we took care of our small part in what frankly amounts to an Octopus' garden.

I swear, dmargalotti, you went to all that trouble to supplant quad and then didn't really want to sit in so lofty a place after all. There seems to be a lot of that going on these days. It makes sibling rivalry look like reputable stock in trade.
 
Arrive on the scene early if you want to meet Olivia Newton-John as she autographs copies of her latest book, "Why I Love Bald Headed Radio Guys from NJ".

Look, I really want to be in charge when WMC is away and he did promise me that I would get a turn. Well I didn't know he was going away this week and when I checked my calendar, I realized that I was already committed to being someplace else. I could have taken the position and then just delegated all daily operations to quad on the days I will not be here. But I thought that was more trouble then it was worth. Maybe if WMC would do a better job of informing the rest of the staff about his plans to be out of the office, we wouldn't have this sort of confusion in the first place.
 
Bald Headed Radio Guys from NJ, when promised the position of being in charge when the Game Czar is out of town, should have those promises kept when the Game Czar is out of town, just as bald headed regular guys get what they are promised, promise ya.

Well, yes, there is that. I recognize it wholeheartedly, especially since it was right out there as a promise that you would be in charge. I must say that at least it isn't the same as something like a pesky little fly just lookin' for attention to cause problems and consternation to call attention away from its food contamination habits.
 
Air in my lungs and blood in my veins are seething as I see that nobody seemed to be in charge today after I left the office.


Miss Silkie, you're in charge. ;)
 
After I left the office to-day, I had to stop in at Delta's office to get information relating to the forthcoming funeral service and wake for Arthur the Switchman.

[size=8pt]Yup, the news came as quite a surprise to many of us at FooCorp Incorporated (A division of Bar, Blart & Quux International Inc.) He was the one who maintained the telephone system for the building, and actually installed the office's crossbar system when he worked for Pacific Northwest Bell in the 1960s and 70s (upgraded from the original panel system that was installed when they built the place during the Depression.) After Maa Bell was slaughtered in the early 80s, he quit his job with PNB and went to work with us. He was the sort who'd meet you at the soda fountain, order you some pop and tell you all about how it was to work for the fone company "back in the good old days."

Arthur O'S-- died on Saturday, aged 81, of heart failure. Now that he's gone, there's only one other guy who seems to have even a marginal understanding of how crossbar switches work (it's not me; I don't work in that department, although Art taught me quite a great deal about such systems), and I fear they'll probably rip it all out and replace it with some crappy mass-produced computerised system in the next couple years. Another contribution to the impending extinction of a threatened species.
 
The forthcoming funeral service and wake for Arthur the Switchman will be followed by a reception at Illusions.
 
A reception at Illusions for Arthur will include a special Dave & Kenny Rock the 40s MusicFest.


Or whatever decade Arthur had been into. ;)
