Lol. My boss is very lenient. If you have completed all your work and there is nothing pressing to do you can pretty much do whatever you want. Everyone else in the office spends all their time on the internet. I can only scan the internet so long before I lose interest, so I read. :)

Hi Dina! I'm so glad you've decided to join us after all **grins** And no worries, if some challenge turns out a bit much, just leave it half done or whatever, I do it all the time. It's no biggie. (Though it's fun to complete something from time to time.)

Hi I'm Danielle. I'm a terrible lurker on this group.

LOL Danielle. I think once you publicly announce and admit to being a lurker, you automatically stop being once. Besides, you've been around. (Although not yet officially welcomed in this thread)

Welcome!

Welcome Dina and Danielle,

Participation in the challenges are optional, Dina, so don't feel obligated...but if you find one that works for you...just jumped in.

I've always loved reading your reviews, Danielle. Happy to see you lurking in our group.
