I was shocked to know that there’s no more Thursday Thirteen (more shocked when I found out the site do not even exist anymore). While I am sad because it’s my favorite meme and I look forward to it every week, I can understand how it must be hard for the TT moderators to maintain the site and go through everyone’s list when they have a family crisis.
Meanwhile, I can’t stop posting lists just yet. Here’s one I got from my office mail. Every two years employees in the company I work with are assessed through a panel interview and given remarks about their performance. I will have my interview in a few days so I hope I won’t have any of these remarks (and the underlying FUNNY meanings) from my boss:
1. OUTGOING PERSONALITY – Always going out of the office
2. GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS – Spends lot of time on phone
3. WORK IS FIRST PRIORITY – Too ugly to get a date
4. SOCIALLY ACTIVE – Drinks a lot
5. INDEPENDENT WORKER – Nobody knows what he/she does
6. QUICK THINKER – Offers plausible excuses
7. USES LOGIC ON DIFFICULT JOBS – Gets someone else to do it
8. EXPRESSES SELF WELL – Speaks English
9. KEEN SENSE OF HUMOR – Knows a lot of dirty jokes
10. LOYAL – Can’t get a job anywhere else
11. HAS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES – is tall or has a loud voice
12. CAREER MINDED – Back stabber
13. RELAXED ATTITUDE – Sleeps at desk
Of course, these meanings are meant as a joke!
If you’re (still) writing a list of anything thirteen on Thursdays, do let me know in the comments so I can visit or sign in Mr. Linky (if Mr. Linky for TT is still working)!

Ha ha…those remind me of writing report cards. Gotta put a positive spin! “A natural leader” is my report card code for “kinda bossy”!
I always hated those year-end reviews. Especially when I had to write down what I thought I did well. I am not good at that.

Funny! Alice Audrey is keeping a list of others who are still doing TT. I like list talk to and the TT always ties up my week with bits too short to be a whole post. http://aliceaudrey.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/13-people-who-did-thursday-thirteen-last-week/#comments

I have been missing TT during the holidays and finally posted one, only to find it’s gone! It’s my favorite meme as well, so I ma bummed! Glad to find a few still floating around the web anyway.
We woke up and the Thursday Thirteen was gone. Will it be back? No one knows. But for now here’s a little spot on the web to bring us all together again. http://www.thursday-13.com
I was shocked when it went down too. There was so little notice. I’m really glad you will keep doing it. So will I!
