dberdinka Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Woke up at 5:30 AM. Clear, 24 degrees and 2 inches of new at Baker. Perfect conditions for covering LOTS of ground in the BC. Instead I went trail running (very nice) in the Chuckanuts, ate pancakes and came to work. THIS SUCKS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willstrickland Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I don't know why you're at work...I'm not. Those stupid-ass hacks working on our heating system broke something in the boiler while trying to service it and have to wait for parts so I've had the last day and a half off. Â God bless 'em, the dumbasses! Â Unfortunately it's about -25 outside with a 10mph wind and the sun is just starting to come up. Cross country skiiing isn't real appealing in these conditions. Â Dber- that's what sick days are for, "Umm, yeah I'm feeling a little sick, of work, so I won't be in today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 Dber- that's what sick days are for, "Umm, yeah I'm feeling a little sick, of work, so I won't be in today" Â The guilt has been catching up to me. On my last extended weekend climbing trip I called in sick while driving to the airport. Now no more official time off (in fact burnt up a long time ago) until Jan 1. Â Must be productive employee, must increase shareholder value... Â I dream of being layed off....... I dream of being a part time barista......

RobBob Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 You bozoids keep loafing, and let me lap you around the track of life a few more times. Â When I consider death, and looking back at my life at that moment, these things appear to be what will be important to me: Â 1) How I've done as a father and husband. 2) What I have achieved in my career. 3) Adventures I've had. Â Adventures make the Top 3, but the others will rank higher in claiming a "life well lived." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 robobobobo  ive played that carrer game from when i was a little kid..not much to it if it aint your thang....  call me what i want but i believe the reason for living in this country is for the pursuit of happiness(atleast for me) so i will do so as i see fit as long i do not infringe on a fellow americans rights whilst doing so.  you certainly should be proud of your accomplishments but to state that they are more worthy then anothers is certainly the wrong road to go down.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I'm at work,enjoying the view and getting drunk on the company's beer supply while surfing the web and planning publishing domination....  here's how my day started off at work...  At my nine A.M. meeting with my two ace reporters one of them cutting her Dolce and Gabanna shirt- "SNATCH-coming soon to a theater near you" up and off with a pair of sicissors, which the other reporter and I both found quite intriguing... Then, a beer before coffee and doughnuts with a publisher and my ad saleslady, discussing future growth, then some bullshitting with my boss about our measely competition, now listening to rock and roll and drinking a labatt's work done for the day  nand now at a quarter of one, going to score some organic greens, and then off to home, with satisfaction of a job well done (and a damn entertaining meeting to boot!)  but sometimes, work sucks.....    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as the progeny's old enough to drag along, maybe I'll consolidate it all and transcend into a higher form of seagull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWolfe Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I really enjoy my work now. Â It's funny, I took a year and a half off when I got married (wife retired at 35), and I got bored after a while. Â It would be cool if you could take 6 months off every year, and just kind of choose those days whenever, rather than having to schedule. That would be way cool. Anyone know any jobs like that, besides being independently wealthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led_Hed Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 $$$=Freedom. Gotta buy your freedom in this world. Otherwise you end up someone's bitch. Why else would I be shoveling gravel and pushing wheelbarrows while searching high and low for another better paying (and career oriented) job.

sk Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I think it is possible to enjoy anything youi do. Your job does not have to define you. You have to set work limits just like you have to set relationship limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
