While I may have one of the best work views this week I am a bit irrated that they have had me sitting the first six hours doing nothing!!!

Well, at least your 'view' is warm!;)

We have our Garmin set to an Aussie female voice. :D

You've obviously never worked customer support in the IT world. The number of calls I've taken that essentially consist of people yelling at me because they yelled at their computer for some period of time and it didn't change its ways it more than I care to recall. :rolleyes:

And you expect this change to make you happier?? :confused: ;) :p

You are correct -- and don't have any aspirations to do so, either!;)

I just think it's insane -- but appreciate that different folks 'vent' in different ways!:D

At the very least it will be a humbling experience and you will learn what you really do need to get along.

Why? was the voice like the warden from the woman's prison?

Our schools have already announced that they are closed tomorrow.

We have not "dug" out yet. We are waiting for the snow service to come and clear our driveway. I had the presence of mind to insist that the snow removal was the Landlord's responsibility when we signed the lease for this rental...:D

So far, they have held good and have sent a snow removal service each time it has snowed. I suspect the service will come tomorrow as it would have been a waste coming today.

I am just evaluating things over the last year, things I did right and things I did wrong, and I am disappointed in some aspects. Some of them are fully out of my control but making me :mad: right now.

The food side is just because I am getting tired of eating wrong, prepare rice and beans two times a week and always have some prepped and ready, so I can eat at the right times and stop eating at 11pm which makes me stay unhealthy.


Leisure flying stopping, is just to cut my costs and make a significant savings again.

no it isn't a friends issue, more related to work, but not depression or anything. my funk is not depression. It is just a focus issue most of all, I have to buckle down and focus because of huge changes coming. I have been working onit for so long, it is getting stressful. I am actually excited about it, but have some worries that I need to clarify for myself.

Wow! Good for you!^ You must've had a crystal ball to predict that you were going to really require a snow removal service this winter!:D

Could do like this bloke
