It was so sad to work there, knowing you had to be giving 110% all the time, too bad if your wife had cancer, your mother was dying or you had something wrong in your family. Even though I have a job where I make little money, when I had a very tough time a couple of years ago, my co-workers did my job for me, dropped tissues on my keyboard and reached over and silently took my work, did it, and never asked for thanks. My boss sent me home more than once to regroup and never, ever held it against me. They offered me a chance when the chips were down, and my boss is one of the best support groups I've got going for me. I know they're there to make money and the real importance is the bottom line, but I feel like a real person there who makes a difference and my boss doesn't forget it.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687342508453441902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1139621063379213502006-02-10T19:24:00.000-06:002006-02-10T19:24:00.000-06:00"RPG" stands for "Role Playing Game".

Dungeons and Dragons is the classic example for pen-and-paper RPG's, and World of Warcraft is an example of a computerized RPG. In fact, World of Warcraft is the largest multi-player game in history.Jeff Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732306951663286466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1139610754707987702006-02-10T16:32:00.000-06:002006-02-10T16:32:00.000-06:00as refered to on the HeroMachine website...not the...as refered to on the HeroMachine website...not the ones used Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1139610389879476092006-02-10T16:26:00.000-06:002006-02-10T16:26:00.000-06:00What's an RPG?What's an RPG?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20794947.post-1139604519519071182006-02-10T14:48:00.000-06:002006-02-10T14:48:00.000-06:00Right on target, my man.

In sales, if you can believe it...it is WORSE. <BR/><BR/>I got "promoted" twice, with the net result being that I made less money with the new comp plan, and felt more trapped every day. <BR/><BR/>Yes, "Dell" is actually just a mis-spelling of that place where a snowball has no chance.The Cow Whispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485716501046446056noreply@blogger.com
