    Good Evening :hattip:

    Work. :goingcrazy::facepalm:

    We had lay offs. Everyone came back last month.
    Company said we have 15 people too many in our plant, so they get moved to another plant.
    Lots of overtime starts, not enough people. The 15 people are coming back and overtime will last till whenever.
    I was hoping things would've stayed slow. Ease my way into retirement.

    don't poke the bear :angrygirl:

    just mentally exhausted most days. lots of details to remember, projects move fast, I'm the main hub of info and everything goes through me. after a 10 hour day of dealing with the circus monkeys I'm spent.

    a guy i used towork with swore by those too. im just afraid id never get myself back upright in one :laugh:

    :mad: hheeeee...wooooo...heeeeeeee.....nope not helping

    not for a while. i was doing a yearly but my doctor moved out of state a couple years ago and never bothered to find someone else. generally pretty healthy. they'll just tell me to stop drinking and get more exercise. besides, everything major that has ever plagued me I've self diagnosed. main cause of my eczema? gluten intolerance? tension headaches? had to figure all those out myself. YEARS of going to specialists, damn near sent my parents into bankruptcy...all for not.

    fries and ketchup

    been back recently? might want to survey the scene there now.

    nahhh

    i do not remember approving your vacation request.

    so....
    been trying to get an update on a project from a coworker in another department for weeks. I email weekly. I confronted him a couple times while I was still working in the office. My boss emails me Monday and asks me why I haven't finished my end of the work (countertops). I tell him I'm still waiting for final drawings from this other guy (cabinetry) as he needed to revise a couple areas after I pointed out some of his mistakes. Now I've never designed a cabinet in my life so how I know more about cabinetry than the supposed head of our cabinetry department is beyond me. My boss immediately emails him asking for an update. As of today still no answer....no reply to any of my emails or to my boss's email. So today I get a random email from the customer asking how things are going and is there anything else I need. So I send another email to cabinetry, CC'ed my boss and our boss-boss. FINALLY get an answer....he ordered the cabinets weeks ago. weeks. and guess what? he never fixed the things I pointed out. I asked him why he ordered them and he said it was because the customer had signed off of the drawings. and that was before i found the mistakes. so once i pointed out the problems that should have voided the order. but no. now cabinet guy thinks that he's going to pin the mistake on the customer and that the customer is going to pay for the 2nd set of cabinets as well as the 1st. but how i see it is cabinet guy is going to eat the cost of the remake since it was his dumb ass that didn't fix the problems that i pointed out.

    You just have to get over center most of the time. I do hang upside down and twist sometimes. But once you get over center you'll relieve a lot of pressure and start getting that fluid back between the bones where it belongs. You can find them used fairly inexpensive. Mine isn't a top of the line make or model but it works good.

    I have been! I can’t do anything about it and my wife is working from home so we are just enjoying our time together. I really can’t complain.

    How are things going with you?

    Chemo infusion today so I'm on the steroid buzz for now. It'll wear down by Saturday then the chemo kicks in. Saturday through Tuesday I'll feel like crap. Then more chemo next thursday.....rinse and repeat through December....

    Doc did start me on new med (tramadol) today. Pain management....non-addictive.

    Met a 9-year old with same type of cancer today. Put things in perspective for me.
