Oh! I see.

I thought work was enjoyable... To each his/her own, I guess.

Except for math, no. It's pretty boring, except when I get to listen to music while doing all my word-related subjects.

Work is like 8 hours of really really hard math with a substitute teacher who can't control the class. And you have the misfortune of sitting in front of the most annoying child in the whole class while they pop gum and slurp soda from a can. AND clear their throat every 45 seconds. And you know it's 45 seconds cause you count 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi until he/she does it again!

Batz kinda captured it.

Sure, we are doing what we like (me, finance and accounting, project management, IT stuff) but there are other people involved. Mucking around in our work, slowing us over-acheivers down, sometimes just being crazy.

No matter who you are, it is hard doing the same thing, all day, every day, without summer vacation, and on someone else's time table.


Especially if you could be home playing with the kiddos and the chickens!

And that's if you LIKE your job. Imagine how bad it would be if you HATED your job!! I like my job and I still have days of "go far far away from me now"

You guys. I"m dumbfounded (easy for me). Laree, your teenhood pics - priceless.

My early childhood photos are of either me crying or crying with my thumb shoved up into my tonsils. As a teen, I was 100% angst. It's really amazing I'm still here.

You are all amazing.

Michelle - I'd be happy to judge your weekend thing - "I do believe there's a flock of starlings missing you in the next township Darling, and your Buff Orpington looks like a Turken gone bad".

See like right now. I'm totlaly tired and want to go to bed. But I can't cause I still have to check in all this merchandise and send out emails and then deal with customers and finances and stuff. And the Yanni music next door is making me suicidal while I'm listening to Mexico whip up on France in Spanish courtosy of the gal I sub let to. And all I wanna do is go to bed.

However, I can't do what I need to do to wake up - which is turn the music up super loud and dance around like a fool. Although, I doubt I have the energy anyway.

And, oh look, annoying people coming in to not buy stuff. Time to put on my happy face! Oha nd answer for the 15 millionth time - yes he's a neopolitan mastiff. Yes he's huge. Oh he weighs about 160 lbs. No he's still growing. Yes, he's 15 months old. blah blah blah gag!
