 [coffee] [coffee]  Good morning

Last work rant till next week - I am out of town starting on Sat for a wedding and will be having fun!

Bonus was WAY smaller than I expected, but in line with what others said they got last time. After taxes, it was just a shade over 1,000 bucks. Job hunting now for sure.

Morning, all.


[coffee]



When I work in the office (50% of the time), I typically sit in a very large, natural light-filled board room as opposed to a closet in the basement where I'm "supposed" to sit (but not a big deal if I don't).

Last week, there was a big fly that came into the board room.  The dog panicked and bolted.  Now he won't step foot in the room.   The dog needs a therapy dog (although not happening).    [roll]


Enjoy the weekend everyone!  Cycling and cleaning on this one's agenda. 

Oh, in other news, the IOM TT came up in conversation yesterday.  Started researching that for future trip reference but also found they have an IOM CC (cycling challenge) that's highly intriguing.

You might want to send Chris Troxell an email.  ;)

After saving them hundreds of thousands in fines, a grand would be an insult...to me anyway.

...and when you find a place that appreciates what you do, and are willing to compensate you fairly...give your notice and tell them to not bother trying to offer you more.

You'll play that game with them forever.

Time to move on.

Home from my quick trip to the Sacramento CA area.  I left 90 and sunny for 65 and rain  :-[

Back at the grind tomorrow. Someone wants to talk to me. 4 calls to my cell from the main office number, but no voice mail.
