Sad and angry is my emotions for today.
Sad because I just got laid-off work, after 5 years of employment.
The company went from 34 employees (January of this year) to 4 employees (Today), not including the office personnel.
They do not expect to stay in business by the end of this year.
Angry because after spending all this week on a chipping hammer busting up concrete, I was laid-off anyway.
Had to chip up a house slab because of some one else's mistakes. And that person is STILL employed with the company.
Go figure...
Now I shall lay down in a tub of HOT water to ease the ache in every bone and joint in my body.

Happy birthday Lucimay.
I actually work with a guy who has read the Chronicles
OK, he's not a MASSIVE fan, but he has actually read the books and questions me on the release dates for the other books.
Only 6 weeks on Sunday until our holiday to SA.
Only 17 years and 3 weeks until I retire (not that I'm counting).

Cheval --

Hope you find a new job soonest. Clearly they let the wrong person go.
Phantasm, my retirement date is sooner than yours, but it still seems ages away. (Assuming I ever do actually get to retire, that is...)
We are in the August doldrums here. Generally speaking, many people in DC take the last two weeks of August off work. This year, tho, there's almost a whole week of September before Labor Day (always the first Monday in September), so I'm wondering things will be even slower next week.

Sorry about your job, Cheval.
On a totally unrelated topic: I've decided men are strange. It's probably even stranger that it's taken me nearly 36 years to work this out!

I wonder how long it will take you to figure out that everyone is strange.
Actually, I was surprised when I met who later became my first wife when she told me she had read the Chronicles. I thought it was just nerdy boys who read fantasy. I was in love immediately.

Feeling good this morning. Saw
Basterds last night with some friends, then went drinking. Feeling especially good since I caught the last train before they shut down for he night, so I didn't have to bike 20 miles to get home
(I still had to bike 5 miles, but I do that every day when going home anyway, and on a bike it's quite short)

Should be able to do 5 miles in about 20 minutes or there abouts

Well, it wasn't fun.

More time consuming than anything else though, and still not quite finished. (And I made that post above at 00h30.)
Luckily I've got two machines in a LAN, so I could backup what was important onto the second without a problem, and then just copy it back over after the format and windows re-install.
But my CS3 is finally working again, which was the point of the whole excercise. And my Firefox is looking pretty cool since I finally updated it and installed some cosmetic add-ons..
