We did used to have a wild time.  I absolutely love TQ now that it is no more.  I used to have so much fun and got paid to do it.  Man--I was making $ hand over fist--bought my house--paid cash for all my furnishings, etc.--worked my @*#% off but it was great!!

I swear a troll or someone just throws these Q's out to see
how close were paying attention to posts
Whaaazzuuup Brandi??
I thought that was Sean.  I saw his name on something associated with this company and wondered about that.  Didnt we have it good back in the old TQ days.  Man--I just wish I could work for another company like that now.  This profession is going to hell in a hand basket.  Email me sometimes--vansatt@comcast.net
How long do you think it will be until MQ throws everything on ASR even the junk to get the reduced
line rate. Should be interesting to see. I do think they are looking for a big exit also. There is no work in a lot of the offices especially Amherst and my understanding is the work will be delegated from a national office and not regional and they will put people on accounts that need work. Not sure what that means but maybe the days of having a main are coming to an end. Should be great for quality.
I love your outlook, Brandi..

Thanks, you made my day. 


Hey, Brandi! I remember your stories about those days...
lol! Too funny. Yah, you Transquickers certainly did live on the wild side. I'm sure some still do!
Support excellent advice from Brandi. NM

MQ pity parties

Why don't one of you MQ whiners start a blog so the rest of us with the good sense NOT to stay with a crappy company don't have to see your "poor me" posts.  It is not that we read them, it is just a pain to have to navigate around them.  If you don't have the sense God gave a goose and leave a company that treats you so shabbily, then you deserve to be there.  Just don't subject the rest of us to your pity parties.  Someone start a blog, where you can all go and whine to each other, while your kids "starve".  Btw, if your kids were starving, it would be your faults for not getting a job that would buy your groceries and pay your bills.


Our block has parties a lot that go well into the night. sm
They have even had a couple of bands come and play. This was a problem last year for me because I needed my sleep and worked weekends. This year, it will be nice since I now work nights. For a short street, it is really lively.
who hates candle parties?

I hate Pampered Chef parties and all those that I get invited to where it is really about me paying for junk.


Who else hates these things?


 


Anyone going to any Harry Potter midnight parties?

No midnight parties here, but love the books!

I've only seen the first one at the movies, but I'm not much of a movie or TV person.  More of a reader. Can't wait to get the book to add to the collection.  Started the collection with my son who has lost interest at 15.  He looks like Harry though.  He went to the playground one day when he was 12 (dark hair, little round glasses) and all of the little kids were screaming, "It's Harry Potter!  It's Harry Potter!" and running after him.  He said, "MOM, IT WAS AWFUL!"  He now has contact lenses and he put his magic wand away.


Xmas parties where the Prez gets silly,

company-covered bar tabs, having someone come and listen to your blanks, staff meetings, being able to look someone in the eye, your supervisor inviting everyone over to her house for brunch on Sunday. Having the choice whether to work in the office or work at home.


The downside? The typical problems working with a bunch of women. Then there was the fact that I was not a social butterfly and didn't like the endless requests for money to fund birthday, wedding, baby, sick, divorced, married parties, Tupperware, Chef this, Southern that yadda yadda yadda fests. The lunch you were so looking forward to no longer being the in fridge, but the wrapping is in the trash. A favorite reference book being found on someone else's desk at the other end of the hall. And she smokes. Ergo, your book now smells to high heaven because she sneaks her smokes in the office during her late night shift, and her nasty, smelly fingers have been all over it (only a nonsmoker will understand how awful this).  And she claims she doesn't know HOW the book got there when you ask.


Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat.


they always have and always will have hurricaine parties and joke about death.
I grew up in hurricaine country - there are folks who would much rather die at home.  I do not understand it, but I know that its true. 
they are the only parties that I go to anymore....great food!

Is this beauty control? I use to sell, but never did parties. SM
I had my opening party, but that was it. I served the food at the table in the kitchen. Everyone just helped themselves and then sat in the chairs I had out in the livingroom to eat. Once we got started, everyone pretty much disposed of their plates and then settled in. I think it worked out good. I had everything ready when they showed up, but I think that everyone pretty much waits until other people get there before they start eating. I would definitely offer drinks when they get there though.

The menu sounds great, so don't worry about that. Seems like a lot of variety for them to choose from.

Don't be nervous...just relax and enjoy it. That's the purpose of the spa party :) Good luck!
There were in-house parties, donuts, 40 work week.

I guess I'm the odd ball; I LOVE going to home parties! sm
But on the other hand, I HATE shopping. I do the majority of my shopping from home parties -- Lia Sophia (sp?) jewelry, Tastefully Simple (a fave), Pampered Chef. I'm waiting to go to a Southern Living Home Show but haven't been invited to one yet.
I hate any of those "obligated to buy junque at a party" parties

Don't mind candles, Pampered Chef, or Tastefully Simple. HATE Mary Kay parties! nm
