Warren, sit down and relax for a bit. Put your feet up and rest and everything will seem better . . . and then at least your feet won't be on the gas pedal.
If I understand you correctly, you slid the blade in, in order to use it in the stand. To remove the blade, simply press down on the blade handle edge end, the end that lines up with the end of the stand. Just press down a little bit, not much. This should allow you to slide the blade out of the stand.
The stand is just for storing it and protects the blade so you can't cut yourself accidently while it's hiding in the back of the cupboard.
I finally figured it out - there's a little tab on the bottom of the stand that locks the blade part in place - lift the tab and it slides right out.
I'm going to write that down and stick the instructions to the thing with duct tape so I'll know the next time I need to use it.
In case anyone is hungry, I did get the silly chilli made and there's a big pot of it in the fridge. Silly chilli has no spices in it - just ground beef, a bunch of veggies, a couple cans of port 'n beans and a can of tomato soup - try it, you'll like it.
Jeanne: Just ask for it in writing. And keep asking.
Doesn't matter if it's the president/owner. Well - actually it does - because then, ultimately it is HIS responsibility - to his customers. Finger pointing doesn't solve anything. Just say "okay 'THIS' is what happened, let's work TOGETHER to solve the problem and make sure it doesn't happen again"
Doesn't work to defend yourself, or anything else - just get him moving to a solution rather than rehashing what is now in the past.

Hey CC - Long time no hear from - how have you been?
Not bad...I visit alot but don't drop and say hi as much as I want too.
I have been abit MIA from posting in EhMac since managing the Technical Department at work. Maintaining systems, servers and dealing with our clients problems, let alone office problems, keeps me busy here in our PC environment.
What I couldn't believe is that not long ago, one of our customers, who has a website, actually asked, "What is an html page?". I had to reread that email a few times to make I read it correctly.

Just keep in mind that most people are familiar with the more common terminologies like web page, email etc. Even though they are exposed to things that we all know and take for granted, sometimes these things get lost in translation. "html" for example.
I bet if you asked a group of people what an html page is I would bet that 90% wouldn't know what it is.

Warren, hope you are getting over you're expensive car trips today.
Cameo, hope that you can get things at work sorted soon. Frustrating for you to have your duties so hazy.
Off to walk off the doughnuts that I ate at work today. Were a thanks from our boss for the extra work we've had to do last while. I don't want to see another one for at least six months.

Good night, Jeanne. I truly hope that the rest of this week goes your way. You need a bit of a lift these days. Paix.

Good evening everyone. Been a long day and glad to be home and relaxing. Well looks like I did not go with the sofa bed option for my new place. Picked up a nice couch that was on sale at Leons this evening along with a floor rug. Now just have to get a black shelf for my office and I am set for next week.
Colours are all picked out and painting will commence on Friday evening. Hope to get it done really soon, or at least before the furniture arrives mid week.
