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
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.
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.
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...
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
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!
