We got up yesterday grumpy as usual and both of us were not happy campers. Time to get up comes much too early any more. We go to bed early but the time just flys by and the next thing we know it is time to get up and start all over again. Now that Sherri is working she has the same grumpy feeling I have been working on for the past year. It is good to know that I am not alone in this bummer feeling I have. I have even noticed some of you short timers out there saying the same thing about having to work. UGH!
OK let us move along here and address the good news that we have to tell all of you out there. We have a new computer. We stressed out on this selection and just could not decide until day before yesterday when we came to the conclusion that the HP that we have was doing a good job so why not stay with what brung ya. We got a 6000 series again, except this one has twice the memory and hard drive and Hz that our last one does and it is $300.00 cheaper! We decided to go ahead and get the 3 year extended warranty on it at $50.00 a year which seemed well worth that and the rebate of $170.00 that we are getting plus the $50.00 in house rebate pretty much covers that cost.
It is still in the box tonight...we have not had the time to even peek inside due to our W*&K schedule...which in 7 months will change....YEHAAA! I hoped tonight I would be able to go home and load this baby up so Sherri could chat with us...oh well they asked me to stay 12 hours tonight and you know what....I said yes....I am losing it I know I am...I need some drugs to get me through this time in my life...maybe a cold MGD?? What was I ever thinking to say yes I'll stay...I love this place I have spent 35 years of my life at...without windows to see outside...in this office with no back door to escape out of in times of trouble...yes I could not ask for a more miserable place to be setting than this.
I must get off this subject before I have a break down. My good friend Dee and Jim Walter sent me an email this evening. While I set here typing away on all this nonsense. It came to me and I picked out some of these pictures that I thought best sumed up my feelings. I will try and post them on this journal entry so that you get the full effect of my enter most feelings...
This is me on the right at my last review....Weeeee I am working for free Teeee Heeeee
Me after a 10 hour day....can you guess where I am
A day dream I have while setting at my desk....floating down a slow moving river Somewhere in Time.

Talk about timing!! Good job on the blog. I agree with you on the whole thing.
Dee
I thought of wo*k once today, as I was staring at the Black Hills behind the beautiful lake....thinkng, sure is nicer here than in that office!
Your day will come....
Hang on....
I agree totally - it is no longer fun to be getting up at 5:00 for a shower and a 45 minute commute. 258 more days and I'll be able to sleep in. At least I'm in a cubical with a window - which isn't much help because I have to keep the blinds closed or be blinded by the sun.
Get that computer up and going. You are loosing precious chat time.
