<DIV>Don't feel bad - having a last name that starts with "A" somehow makes me vulnerable to cut & paste errors at major events. I distinctly remember being missed at a high school scholarship awards ceremony (was left sitting in the stands, but no award to give me), and also a martial arts black belt graduation ceremony... "uh, oh yeah, Ruben, you'll get yours in the mail." </DIV>

I wonder when they<BR>> assembled the list and what was the basis. Maybe Mark just <BR>> perused some of<BR>> the names on the emails flung around the group.<BR>> <BR>> Like Groo sinking ships, I usually get left out of things. hehe<BR>> <BR>> A couple months ago a coworker made this banner for the IT <BR>> department I work<BR>> in. It had everyone in the picture cut and pasted in to <BR>> show us...except<BR>> for me.<BR>> <BR>> And no one even noticed until I pointed it out. lol<BR>> <BR>> Then a month later a faculty/staff directory was made for the <BR>> college I work<BR>> for. It has the picture, title, and contact info for <BR>> everyone in the<BR>> college...except for me.<BR>> <BR>> I'm like c'mon! They even had a guy in there that had not <BR>> worked there as<BR>> long as I had! This has been going on as long as I can remember.<BR>> <BR>> Maybe Mark will put my letter in the 1st Issue of Hell on Earth letter<BR>> page. That would cheer me up. Though that's already <BR>> completed, so it's<BR>> anyone's guess.<BR>> <BR>> You hear that Mark?!?!?!?!<BR>> <BR>> I need recognition for my own self-esteem here! Toss me a <BR>> bone for crying<BR>> out loud!<BR>> </DIV>
