I had a super-effective day today. I've had a slew of small odds and ends all hanging loosely the last 3 months, but today they were all taken care of, every single one of them!!!
They weren't all the glamorous types of things, but it feels super to have gotten them out of my hair!!!

That's interesting Dave! :-) :-) Question is, is it a good thing or bad?

Well. since I usually carry over most of my vacations days, and have several months of sick time on the books, I'm really not use to this extended time off. The truth is ---- it really is starting to get a little boring ------ :-) :-) :-)

We were pounded with snow and 4 cars got stuck in my subdivision entrance so I blew off work. Slept in and watched trashy morning tv. By noon the plows cleared the roads so I went to get an oil change, bought some postage stamps, shipped a package and made some copies for a meeting later in the evening. I got to work a little on a Sherman that is not part of any campaign.
Overall a pretty boring day

I took to finals, my T.V. Productions one, and my Political Science (of which I only got one wrong).
Other than that it is snowing here, so I am thinking about clearing my work table off, and starting the Sturmtiger!

HI, Baby-sitting the 2 grand kids does keep the day from getting really boring.
Been snowing on and off and that proverbial inch the weatherman has been talking about has turned into 3 or 4 inches.
Been keeping track of a blood pressure as per doctor's instructions. Checks out good at home but high in the office, "White coat syndrom" no doubt. Ha, ha! When you reach your mid-50s everytime you go to the doctor their eyes start rolling with dollar signs and the first thing they say is "Well you know that when you start to reach a certain age......"
Hopefully the weather won't be too bad to go up later and pick up some primer and start doing a little painting on some of the AFV Club's Pak 43/41 parts. Or work on Trumpeter's Morser Karl kit, or finish up Trumpeter's T-34/42. Nothing like being somewhat over-extended.
Haven't watched the 'crowning of the king' today. Thankfully my life isn't quite that boring. If I had to sit and watch that all day I would take up drinking again! Ha!
Take care, Sgirty!

I can`t say my day was boring
Finally at school they finished checking out all the stuff I have done the last months and with a 2 month delay they finally decided to give me my Diploma. Finally I got rid of that school.
Second After almost 3 weeks of being workless I managed to set an appointment with a design company that I send my resume to. This is not a guarantee for a job but at least it is a victory for me as I send out a lot of letters last weeks.
I`m reading a great book that I ordered named Ghosts of the ETO and I managed two score two picture books: Schiffer`s Krupp at war and PZ1 from Podzun for a bargain price
And last but not least I did some good weathering on my PZ1 today

Nope typical Thursday here, or as we call it "Friday Eve." Sad isn't it that we have to name each day to help us get through the week?
Monday, well what else can you call it but Monday.
Tuesday, "one day closer."
Wed. "Hump day."
Thursday "Friday Eve"
Friday, TGIF!!!!
Sorry about all the snow guys. It's 67 degrees here, sunny, and beautiful. You'd think it was April 20 not Jan 20.

Boring?Hmmm....I should say not.
1.) Alternator belt slipped off on my drive to work, had to work it back on in 20deg F weather,
2.) Four blocks later the belt SHREDS and I have to go through it all again...(glad I carry spares in the tyrewell)
3.) caught the Bosses attention hobbling in late so got some additional responsibilities added to my workscope( the kind that never show up on a performance review... )
4.) Got called a communist for wearing all black in silent mourning of the coronation...er...inauguration.
5.)was told by the same O'reillian to remove my flag(flown upside down-International sign of distress) because I was a sick commie who was creating a "hostile work atmosphere"....
So- Free Democratic Societies which allow for right to self expression can't allow for it and accuse those who invoke that right of the affiliation with Communist, Totalitarian regimes which suppress said self-expression...What am I missing here
Boring-No.
Frustrating-Oh HELL yeah.

LD - Just be glad you live in a country were your childish behaviors are tolerated.
By the way your boss is right. Your actions could constitute a hostile work environment.
So get off your high-horse and get use to the fact that President George W. Bush will be OUR president for four more years.

At the risk of getting this post banned, for current events topics I've got to ask, like the NRA bumper sticker that says "Charlton Heston is MY President."?
Gee and I thought freedom of speech, like L.D. displayed, was protected by the constitution. You've heard of it, right?
Sorry Staff Jim, and the forum moderators but I just had to do it.

Halfyank -
For eight long years William Jefferson Clinton was OUR president. I was not happy about it, but I did not wear black and fly my flag upsidedown.
It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it has to do with MATURITY. People who are mature, acknowledge that sometimes things don't go their way and although they may not like it - deal with it.
So deal with the fact that President George W Bush is now and will be President of the United States for four more years.
