So... who was it here that recommended "The Man in the High Castle"?
Think it was @AirGoofy ?

I don't know either, but thanks a lot whoever it was. DW and I are binge watching now and I have to go to bed. <sigh>

 

[declansdad]

Dang I missed it. Are y'all still doing it every Saturday?

Pretty much. The numbers vary and the last few have started late

Morning, Gents, from a rainy Cape Cod. We FINALLY got some rain this past weekend! I had to reschedule a senior portrait session because of it, but it was worth it because we need it. Not much going on this past weekend, so now on to week 4. Oh, didn't tell you guys. So the paralegal that was supposed to be training me, and showing me what she does, which really didn't do any of that because she was too buys....anyways, she showed up on Friday morning, sent out a few emails at around 6 am, and then left. So I walked in at 8 am hoping to ask a few hundred questions and she's no where to be found. Turns out she decided to cut her last day short. So I spent the day changing desks and going through files. Now the position is officially mine. Well, off to start the day, see you on the other side.

TTFN

Tuesday was my Friday. Today's my Sunday of a long weekend.

Ah, you have one of those schedules. I use to have a schedule like that years ago and always went back and forth about whether I like it or not. I liked it because there's so much I could do. Yet didn't like because all my friends were working and couldn't do anything.

I'm sure you'll be great.

Thanks! Now that the position is officially mine, I've been talking to my attorney about how she wants things done, like if the last paralegal did something that irritated her, I could it differently....that kind of stuff. Hopefully that goes over well.

That sounds terrific. I could use a day like that.

I was so looking forward to relaxing and watching a movie, but instead I fell asleep in my chair.

I was pretty sure you were... and yet... there are a lot of people out there who really don't get why a mask may help prevent the spread of a virus, but still allows you to breathe.

It's the origin of the vampires. Humans getting a cold after midnight, similar to Gremlins.

And God forbid you knew how to use herbs...then you'd be branded a witch.

Morning all. We can't catch a break from 2020. DW's 94 year old grandmother fell and broke her arm, the break that goes thru the skin. She had surgery and is recovering, in the hospital, and the family is now fighting over who will help care for her going forward.

So sorry to hear, that man. I'll say a prayer for a speedy recovery.

If anyone is interested in joining in, here is the link to the Zoom room. Should be there in about 30 minutes.

And the gold goes to..

I wasn't the tallest, not the youngest, probably the fatest, but was still the champion. 2nd overall in qualifying points and three consecutive wins in the playoffs.

Congrat!

Morning guys

I had a pretty good day yesterday. I convinced DW to come out on a hike with me. We did another part of the East coast trail called Beaches Path.
Wife didn’t go as far as I hoped (isn’t that always the problem...ahem) but we did manage about 3km. Keeping in mind that’s over rough terrain and DW isn’t a hiker, it wasn’t too bad.
I’ll post a couple pictures, let’s see if they come out sideways again.

Nice! That must have been beautiful to walk.

Afternoon all. So, in today's what else can happen 2020, I met with my pastor to give him 2 weeks notice about working at the new job. He asked to give him a week, and he'd like to make me an offer for more hours and stay working at the Church. Not sure how I feel at the moment. I wouldn't have applied for another job if he had made an offer in the first place. We set a meeting for Friday, so I can at least wait 5 days to hear him out.

That's always the case, you get an offer somewhere and another one comes along. That's how it happened with me just recently. I got an offer with the post office, then my temp job offered me a position, and then where I'm working now. Always happens like that. Well, congrats on the offer, and let us know what you decide.

 

[declansdad]

Morning Gents,

Just another Monday. This playing 2 soccer game a week and trying to run two or three days isn't going so well. Low numbers at soccer mean playing more and having a sore knee for a couple of days. The mileage is taking a hit but I'm not training for anything and I'm still getting some exercise with the soccer. Games again on Wednesday and Sunday plus some more vacation next week, so the running may be taking a back seat for a couple of weeks.

Have a fun Monday all.

 

[AirGoofy]

And, the 159th Groundhog Day, or something like that. Feels like time is moving even slower. 7 more days of work to retirement and 4 more days to a job offer seem like an eternity. I never have been good with waiting.

Hoping your grand maw innlaw pulls thru.

Thanks. She is still in the hospital. She has the external fence post for her arm, and in 4-6 weeks, they will consider removing it and add a cast.

I don't know either, but thanks a lot whoever it was. DW and I are binge watching now and I have to go to bed. <sigh>

You're welcome.

Sounds like you are starting things out right. Learn it the way they want it done, so you don't have to redo a second time.

And it feels great to have options, but I really can't decide what to do. I'll make more $ at the factory. My neighbor works there and gets all the OT he wants. While I won't have to do much planning or thinking, I'll have no control of my schedule, less vacation time, and be at the bottom for seniority. At the Church job, I get a lot of control over my schedule, lots of leave time, but I have to think, plan, coordinate, and schedule things a year out, and be willing to change those plans based on the immediate need.

 

[pkondz]

Morning folks.
Today is a Monday for me as I'm back to work today. But not til 3pm... so does that mean my Monday is actually Monday afternoon?

I don't know either, but thanks a lot whoever it was. DW and I are binge watching now and I have to go to bed. <sigh>

But it's pretty good, isn't it?

I had to reschedule a senior portrait session

Old people don't take kindly to change.

she showed up on Friday morning, sent out a few emails at around 6 am, and then left.

Ah! So... a lawyer.

Ah, you have one of those schedules. I use to have a schedule like that years ago and always went back and forth about whether I like it or not. I liked it because there's so much I could do. Yet didn't like because all my friends were working and couldn't do anything.

I don't have friends, so it works out well for me.

I was so looking forward to relaxing and watching a movie, but instead I fell asleep in my chair.

I call that a win.

This playing 2 soccer game a week and trying to run two or three days isn't going so well.

Yikes! No surprise there!

 

[docsoliday1]

Dang I missed it. Are y'all still doing it every Saturday?

Yeah...unless you're watching here Saturday night, it's easy to miss. Also too late for some of us.

[docsoliday1]

You're welcome.

Actually...aside from the potential lost sleep because I want to watch just one more episode, it is an actual thank you.

But it's pretty good, isn't it?

It is. Was a bit skeptical when I first saw intro, but we like it.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Hey, fellas. I'm back from vacation and refreshed and ready to get back to the grind at work.

Or maybe I'm back from vacation and refreshed.

Or I'm just back from vacation.

Anyway, it was a good week and a lot of fun. Not bad for plan B. Hope you guys had a good week.

 

[docsoliday1]

Laugh it up fuzzball.

Actually, it's fine. I just have to get up early for work and then church Sunday morning, so I'm not a night owl.

Wish I had his money.

Let me know when y'all would like to do a 5am call...

 

[pkondz]

It is. Was a bit skeptical when I first saw intro, but we like it.

Prepare to lose more sleep. It gets better.

Hey, fellas. I'm back from vacation and refreshed and ready to get back to the grind at work.

Welcome back. Saw a tiny bit on fb. Looked pretty nice.

Morning guys from a overcast London, where we have had a months worth of rain in 2 days. Wheels down as I go on a staycation in Cornwall from Thursday for a week or so, so everyone wants a piece of Danny right now. The Lady Ks Grandma is unfortunately on her way out, so here's hoping for a painless passing. She's 95 so she's had a good ol' innings, and the Lady K and her have never been close, so it is what it is.

sent out a few emails at around 6 am, and then left.

Or in Lawyer speak, 6 hours of billings.

Anyway, it was a good week and a lot of fun. Not bad for plan B.

Good stuff buddy, welcome back

Also too late for some of us.

I tried to jump on at around 0630 my time, but it had wrapped up. 0130 starts are a bit of a challenge for those of us on the other East Coast.

And, the 159th Groundhog Day

Is that all? It feels longer. Congrats on the pickleball.

Have a great day chaps. Onwards and upwards.

Top O the Mornin Dads! Monday, ugh. Got DS moved into his off campus ( literally 2 minute walk and on campus) studio apartment and got all his tech and some small organizational type furniture set-up. You can tell he was ready to get out on his own for his final year of school after being at home since mid-March. I know I've stated this elsewhere but I really do feel bad for these kids as the college experience and Sr years of High School are just not what they should be. Let's have a good week and stay safe out there.

Let's get this party started!

Any pin collectors in this group?

You could call DS a pin collector

Sorry to hear, hope she has a full recovery

Sorry to hear, but like you referenced, 95 and a good run, thoughts for Lady K

Thanks, guys. We rented a place with a spectacular view of the mountains, so I spent a lot of time having coffee on the deck. You could do worse.

[Terra Nova guy]

I don't have friends, so it works out well for me.

Sounds a lot like me.
through the whole quarantine thing I just kept thinking that my day to day social life didn’t really change a whole lot

Hey, fellas. I'm back from vacation and refreshed and ready to get back to the grind at work.

Nice to hear from you Mark. I was thinking about you and hoping you were coping all right in that little shack on the hill I saw you post on FB
#sarcasm

But seriously, glad you had a good time, it looked great.
