Sorry to hear that MSV,

You should go out Fight Club or Office Space style.

Sorry to hear msv. :( Luckily you have some time to enjoy life while thinking about what you'd like to do next.

There are words in Maxim? :confused:

Amazingly, yes. :p I read more than my share of Maxim the one summer that I got pressed into service as third percussionist in the lab orchestra for a conducting program. It's what the guys who have 300 measures rest between cymbal crashes read (along with the occasional financial or automotive publication). Surprisingly interesting, at least in parts.

I never got around to visiting Teh Shetlands and Orkney when I lived over there. Will need to remedy that at some point.

If for no other reason than the awesome lines, yes, you do.

It wasn't weird so much as entirely too tempting to make that right turn and gun it. :eek:

Hmmm. AC INP, JJ INP from JFK, but is from MIA (Tropical Invest 94L might make that unwise), and UA is running 777s out of IAD/ORD. Decisions, decisions.

Driving a manual transmission on the "other" side of the road wasn't too bad so far. Which is to say that I haven't killed anyone or anything yet.

During the warmer months any day it isn't raining, I drive a RHD manual shift car. When I went to England last year and rented a car, I thought it was going to be a piece of cake....
Except I kept trying to make their world look like mine... not good.
But, entertaining none the less.:D

Years ago a friend just got done putting together a race car from a basket case. He needed somwhere to test before going to the track. (gotta make sure you don't have a case of "wheels fall off" ya know)
A local airport was kind enough to let him use the runway and taxiway. (With someone stationed to wave him off if any plane went into the pattern) He said it was like having your own personal Indianapolis without the banking.:D

Afternoon Box.

After an insane week at work my Friday is going quite nicely. It was great to get home last night and have all day Friday at home for the first time in months.

Now that I've completed a half dozen phone calls for work I can start thinking about enjoying the weekend.

Wishing you the best of luck with that!! :)


MSV sorry to hear about the finalization of your time at work. :(
