Good morning ladies,
67 degrees Mel? Ooohhh that feels downright refreshing! Ahhhh. Go enjoy it and leave the mess in the office to people who are getting paid alot more to deal with it That's a bummer about Ritchie's DD - I can't imagine the new "norm" of shuffling back and forth between parents.
Michelle - hope they come up with a good course of treatment for you. I think you want to do some personal research on the cortesone shots before you go getting a bunch of them. Just saying... You talked earlier about being at a somewhat crossroads in your career. I am thinking the same. There might be some opportunities to go back into management again. It would mean a little more money and a small annual bonus but would take alot more of my time, one of the areas is in deep doo doo and needs some serious straightening out and it would be very aggrivating for the short term until things get under control. I'm kind of feeling like Mel in that I am past those days. The extra money would be nice but I know in the end it would not be worth the little bit of extra cash. I'm at odds, gut instinct says to stay where I am which I'm reasonably happy with. But for you as well as me - you have to decide what is important to you and what makes you happy. Sometimes too we just need a challenge to get us out of the boredom rut.
Annie - I have a closet full of shoes, most of which are no longer comfortable any more so if we move to the commune (an idea I love ) you can have most of my shoe closet space. Now if we are talking clothes, I will crowd all of you out Of course I doubt we will need to dress up at the commune.
Laura - sorry to hear that people are still walking / driving in front of trains on your line. DP had the record for the most accidents. I think most of them were dumb people doing dumb things (like I CAN beat this train) or were not paying attention. I will never forget one day sitting upstairs in the winter time staring out the window and as we passed the woods by the river area, there was a guy jogging next to the train tracks buck naked save for a knitted hat. I almost wrenched my neck looking back to see if I was really seeing what I thought I saw in my half gaze
Ceejay - hope today is a more cheery one for you. Sometimes we all get the blues.
Good advice on the gym bag Shad. I learned to be more minimalistic when I had to tote everything back and forth. How nice that you'll get to go travelling with your buddy Chris again. You must be looking forward to that.
I need to get out of here - got lunch plans with a friend today so I'll check back tonight.
