@phoneboy My back, shoulders and hands hurt looking at that. Worked construction to help pay college expenses. Stuck on a job to remove a loading dock. Floors were supposed to be 18" thick according to blueprints drawn up in the 1930s. They were over a yard thick (Filled the entire pit with left-over cement). Had to bust up every bit with a jackhammer and cut the rebar with a torch.
She keeps me sane…
Her: Beef Stroganoff is in the crock pot
Me: On purpose or did it sneak in there and surprise you?
Her: I put it there goober.
Me: Who's Goober?
Her: Dad calls everyone Jethro.
Her: I saw a platypus!
Me: In the crock pot??
Me: And did you your dad call it Leroy?
Her: No, by a creek
Her: It wasn't a platypus. It was a dead raccoon.
Me: You suck at wildlife.
@kdfrawg I guess I'm just irritable today. I've always been of the opinion that if you shelter yourself from other points of view yet feel an uncomfortable urge to sneak from the shelter…You might want to seriously rethink your take on things.
@kdfrawg Sense of responsibility. I took this place on of my own freewill and walking away would put a lot of incomes at jeopardy.
It really sucks living in an age where we can build our own groupthink bubbles and spare others our perversions / obsessions yet we still seek validation outside of those bubbles.
Just stay in your damned bubble.
And..an email from a client complaining how the GOP's ObamaCare replacement is ObamaCare.
Pausing before I click send on the reply..
"I told you 'ObamaCare is gone' was equal to 'I promise to pull out' and you got snippy with me.
PS: The wall is bullshit too. Have a great day."
And, really, why pester people you do business with with politics anyway?
It's just rude. Especially when the recipient doesn't give a damn.
@kdfrawg I'm at that mental stage right now but I have to carry this damned place on my shoulders. I shouldn't complain. I grew up in what amounts to a shack and I could have easily remained in one.

@kdfrawg Most of mine is spent being evilly glared at by my wife every time I look at email or answer my phone. I'd love to be able to relax and put things aside but sometimes you really can't.
@kdfrawg I heard a few months ago that an old telemarketing firm I did some software for was asking around about me.
"I told them I thought you had died a few years back"
Good friends. Cherish them. :D
