Oh, what a weekend! I'm offshore at the moment and the rig's had nothing but problems!! Won't bore you with the details but working 0530 - 1830 each day and won't be home till the end of the month!!
Aaaahhhh - feels much better now I've had a wee rant! Almost lunchtime, at least the food is good here
Thanks for asking!

Do we have to have a job !! I just want to rant rant rant
Work was great yesterday... only because I didnt have to be there. Thank God I have weekends off.
Been on vacation for the last week. We just moved into a new house two weeks ago so my week of "vacation" has been more work than work is. Got a lot accomplished and had fun with my wife for the week. Gotta go back to work at 0300 on monday and am not looking forward to getting behind the wheel that early.

Well...
I've been sick as a DOG for the past few days... darn DE weather!
Got sick about an hour before I got off Friday night at Midnight... then had to work 10-7 Friday and yesterday...
I spent all day sipping on flat Coke to keep my stomache... well, in my stomache!
After sleeping 14-hours on Friday... and about 12+ last night... I'm FINALLY starting to feel a little better...
Tonight I get to work 5pm-1am... then I'm off until Wednesday night!
Note to self: Send Ed McMahon and the PCH Prize Patrol dude a nasty email for not ringing my doorbell yet! :ultracool

Can't complain---had a great class this morning, my students were sharp as pins, very involved in the material... looked up at one point and the two hours were just about gone, hadn't even given them their break. And nothing bad happened to spoil that good start, so... all in all, a very good day, wouldn't complain one bit if this were the worst it ever got.
Not too bad... I didn't get as much done as I'd have liked, but that's the way it usually goes!

There's a reason I refer to my work as the Hellhole...
George Carlin once said that hard work isn't long hours or physical labor; Hard work is when you send a man to do something that he doesn't want to do, and then keep him there and pay him for it...
I work for an industrial printing company on a web-fed printing press...We print catalogues(Harry and David, Neiman Marcus, Horchow, Williams Sonoma, etc.) for yuppies...

*groan* I wonder what mess my coworkers left for me today.
Working in the salt mines was difficult and dangerous as I did my medical billing.

Wow, I guess I am going to go against the grain here, but I had a FANTASTIC day at work yesterday. Still locked away in a small room with no windows, but at least it was nice and cool for all the computer equipment there. Plus there is only about 6 people whose cards are keyed to unlock the door, so I am left alone with nobody to bother me. Finished about 12 hours of work in 8 and went home early. Then again my boss is a fabulous, intellegent, caring individual who lets me do anything I want... OH yeah, I work for myself; forget what I said, the boss is a heartless slave-driving wad.
I hate it that when I show up to work on time or early and there is no one around who would care, but when I show up late, my manager, team leaders, dept head etc... have all shown up early and are looking for me...Murphy's Law of Work

My job is just stupid.
BUT I didnt have to climb anything, and I didn't plummet to my death, so it was a typical day.

Well what can you say, it was Monday. But really, I decided a long time ago not to let my circumstances decide when I'm happy.

Week started off crappy. I was in the ER with my mom most of the weekend and then ended up there myself on Monday. But the week ended off great. My staff handled things well in my 1-day absense. Finished another website and hit $6 million, year to date, with one of the ones I bulit last year. So the boss was happy.
TGIF!
Everyone have a great Friday and even better weekend!
