NBC management the last decade has been very questionable (and that's being kind to them).

If I wasn't incredibly lazy, perhaps.@:-)

Somehow I remember reading through them in an alcohol-induced haze last night.

Going back to my previous post - is Comcast going to buy some newspapers next? If they want to be the kings of bad choices and unprofitable media ...

My recollection of the handshake is that it very much resembles the motions made while drinking. :D

Wouldn't shock me - it'd provide even more reasons for them to raise my cable bill to cover their stupidness.

The amazing thing is the way money is so insignificant in the whole thing, until teh memorandum. Seeing a max-out contract just shows how unbelievable these payouts are...

Basically, it's 10-20 obedience commands done throughout a timed course. It's supposed to be 'fun' obedience - loose leash to start(off lead as you get better), with corrections only done verbally in a 'happy' voice.

I'd love to try that with my doxies.. but I don't have 20 years to dedicate! :D (they are sweet in other ways though.. don't get me wrong. ).

The class sounds like a really fun experience! If I was a betting woman, I'd say your Sheltie will show everyone up, if she hasn't so far! Give her a pat on the head for me. :) I miss my Shelties..

My new contract is just two pages - almost have it memorized.
