What I Learned Today - Page 12

Trilby · 02-22-2006, 02:58 AM

Today, I learned that I cannot have two really restful nights in a row. I slept like a baby last night (10 hours!) but, tonight, I was awake at 2:30 and can't get back to sleep. I blame years of 12 hour night-shifts for this. DAMMIT!

Today I learned that the best laid plans can be ruined by an untimely visit by the POTUS to a semi- secure gov't building.... what a drag.

Today I learned that the company I'm working for is reshuffling people...and that if you look at "the big picture", it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.

POTUS?

you mean BOFUS?

FallenFairy · 02-22-2006, 03:23 PM

You got it foot x 3!!
and to make it worse, not one of my "higher ups" cared that it was Gdub that made me late for my meeting... damitall.

Oh dear, now they'll probably exile you to some remote place like......Arizona.

capnhowdy · 02-22-2006, 08:45 PM

People from all around the world...and parts of Alabama have been to/been exiled to Arizona.
Georgia would be the place.... nobody looks for nothing down here but rednecks.

I think FF is already being exiled to New Mexico to be left to the mercy of the Navajo and the vinergaroons.

Today, I learned that if you put a chipmunk in a blender with two scoops of double-chocolate chip mint ice cream and a cup of Sambuca, it makes a bitchin' shake.

I learned it's time to hang up my gig bag. I no longer have the edge I need to play.

Nope. You may not have it right now, but it'll come back. Good luck.

Maybe you need to change gigs? Do something different that'll hold your attention.

Depends on how you practice...... playing the same mistakes 20 times won't sound any different. Vary what you practice..... work on chops rather than a particular piece.

Nothing learned,but I saw Brianna's post re: different guage railroad tracks.
During WW2, (not 3, we're just starting that),the UK badly needed Locomotives.
The US sent some over, bloody great huge things,compared to the Brit. ones.
Anyway, they were different guage.
I guess they found a way to use them, but have no idea how.
My intention was to add something interesing,but-------
You're probably all wondering,"Who the hell is this"?
