THE Ugliest Bridesmaid Dress! 08/24/2005 12:42 AM CDT
I want to take this moment and congradulate our lady Reexy for making the absolutely more horrid bridesmaid dress ever and winning that GM alteration contest!

Thats right Reexy! Show them all that Empaths will not only make THE ugliest bridesmaid dress...BUT I'd wear it!

*cheers Reexy*

Yeah, I said it in the staff responses folder, I'll say it here too...I think she's going off of personal experience on that one :cackle:

Either that, or she did chorus in high school/middle school and wore something like that then...I remembr the women in middle school chorus referring to their dresses as "blueberry" dresses...it was so hilarious.

Thankfully, the bridesmaid dresses I've worn were chosen by the bridesmaids; we just had to agree on a pattern and go with whatever the color theme was.

But I've had nightmares...

And thanks for the congrats. It was a fun contest, and gave me something to work on at work while we're under an Internet ban. (mutters about the stupid virus)

You know Reexa, you should thrash your IT department if that virus caught you... if your OS was up to date, it would have never happened. The virus that caught the news networks wasn't even that effective

It got our servers too, although the only thing I think happened was we couldn't get e-mails from outside our system. But at a government relations firm, that's just about the most crucial thing. Thank god it happened during the August recess, otherwise it would have been a s-storm. They didn't even tell us anything was wrong until we called them and asked. I guess they were hoping we wouldn't notice or something. Hmm, I wonder if they would notice if we didn't pay them...

I'd hate your IT guys too if they let viruses onto my network that could have been prevented Purehand :) Luckily I take patch management very seriously on my network and the virus didn't have a chance... although it tried really hard :)

Our IT guys are pretty good but they have a LOT of territory to cover (I work for a Johnson & Johnson company), so things sometimes get in before they get to it. Our computers are all getting stuff upgraded now, though, to be sure.

Y'all are stuck with me! We all miss Zach and hopefully his endeavors will be good ones and his absence won't be long. Until his return, be nice! I come armed with SP (Smite Post!). --Arhia

Yes, we're apparently going to have to rename it to The Circle Fest, because it's never going to end...

This is the fest that never ends,
there's lots of stuff in here, my friends,
uhh, a little help here?


J'Lo, no that other one
