    Today was a busy day that turned out good in the end. :) Now tonight I can finally get some much needed rest! :)

    Absolutely feckin knackered now, knee is killing me. But fantastic day, amazing scenery, took a shitload of great pics.
    Heres an example of the kind of place it is :)

    Glad it didn't rain on the peak hike. I've hiked a little in England (Lake District) way back in early 80's - it was great.

    Slammed with repeated updates to various websites I manage, some of which are contradictory. Everything is a priority, which of course means nothing is a priority.

    This was a great thread, so I'm bumping it.

    My day so far: 2:50am here, and about to go to sleep. Will probably make a few phone calls and emails tomorrow and finish a poster for a dance company. :marathon:

    Well, since I just woke up, I'll do yesterday...

    It was decent...had to be at work at 8am, which sucked, but it also meant I got off early. After that I went by the bank and went home. I chilled around the rest of the day. Read some, watched 2 1/2 men (<3), worked out. all that jazz.
    Got today off so who knows what I'll do today. :P Probably get crazy. Juuuuuust kidddddding. :P

    I wish this thread was called "How do you feel?"

    Because it doesn't work to say "Tell my mother my day was fine."

    I am driving around without a muffler until all the parts arrive to rebuild my fucking exhaust, but that doesn't negate my need to make two 22 mile round trips daily.

    So my day has been just fucking delightful. :brood:

    Today is Day 3 of the month-end Financial Close...typically my busiest day each month at work. Add to that 4 new plants going "Live" on the system this month, and the usual hijinks from the existing users, and I'll bet you can guess how my day is...

    My boss left the company a month ago. My co-worker decided to take the last 3 days of this week off. I've got IRS deadlines to deal with. And, I've been given more work responsibilities - one being that I have to set up deposits every week, but first I have to track down which dept each check needs to be credited to.

    So, basically my free time went from ... pretty much all day to a few minutes here and there. :(

    I'm transitioning a location from a temporary to permanent circuit.

    And by that I mean I called someone who called someone to drive to a location on the other end of the country from where I am. One he got there, he called someone else who is in a completely different part of the country. I've never met any of these people and never even talked to any of them before this week.

    So my on site tech guy is on the phone with the corporate admin so all I can do is be in IM with them. And they only chat when something is going wrong.

    So yeah. I'm stressing a little.

    Oh, I forgot to mention - on top of all that work at work, but when I get home, I've start a new college class, I try to get to the gym every day and now ... now, I have to start looking for a house or my rent will increase beyond my capacity to pay ...

    I am tired. 80+ hours last week. Its wednesday evening and I already got 56.5 hours in for this week. I am going to Disney world next week, hoo rah! I need it so bad. 3 weeks in czech and then on week to prepare for a huge job at my work but its all running now and I can breathe again. Boss says they are wanting me back in Czech but its fucking cold over there now. I go back, I need to set my own hours. I need to think things through and fuck that long hour bullshit every fucking day. I get payed by the hour and I know I shouldn't complain when lots of folks are out of work but damn. It seems like yesterday was september 26th to me. I like my work, don't get me wrong but I feel pushed.

    Woke up tired in Westchester County, NY. Flew to East Hampton. Picked up two rich people and flew them to Austin, TX. Tried to figure out why the FBO in Austin simply refuses to service the lav on an airplane- been round and round with them over this before. They don't say no- they say yes, and then just...don't ever get around to it. Even after I ask them a half dozen times. I think it may be about time we switch preferred FBO's in Austin. Went to the hotel. Watched 'No Country for Old Men' on the computer. Soon I'll check in with CINCHOUSE and go to bed feeling like hammered crap.

    Not a bad day, but my ass has been dragging like an old tired dog. I should be able to get a solid night's sleep tonight, and hopefully tomorrow we take the show westward rather than the other way.

    Oh, and I was pretty disappointed with the election. Any shred of hope I had that we're going to dig ourselves out of this fucking mess is gone.

    Pretty rough! I have several radios that are not working with weird, weird symptoms. Thus, tomorrow I will really be busy because there are many students in the class, and the more "hands on" they get the better.

    On the plus side, there is eye candy in the class in the form of a really sweet Latina. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

    Job actually came up fairly painlessly, but it was stressful because my tech was on the cell phone with the admin, so I couldn't listen in. I was on IM with the admin but he wasn't telling me shit so I just sat there and stared at the screen and sweated. I opened a chat with his boss because I knew she was working it too--and SHE wasn't telling me shit.

    At a little under 2 hours they IM'ed me, telling me they were up (there were a couple interim contacts) and I sent my guy home.

    I spent the rest of the day afraid to be happy and just waiting for the shoe to drop. It didn't.

    Then at 7:30 I missed a phone call from the area code the job was in (as well as another job I just did something on) and I couldn't call it back for a couple hours. Finally I couldn't take it and snuck away to make a call. Apparently I have a special offer for a Carnival cruise and their call center just happened to be in that area code. :calli:

    I had absolutely fuck all to do yesterday so I caught up on the Iron Man films.

    Still, I should enjoy it really. Soon won't have time for this sort of thing.

    This morning totally sucks. Hangover anxiety. Try to cure it with a couple of valium and two beers. It usually works. Yesterday a girl I like cut herself. Bad.

    Fuck me...
