Put up lots of Christmas lights and think solstice. Only 19 more days and the dark will start going away and the light will return. That always helps me about now!

It's spooky how wise LJ is.

No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon -
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! -
November!

Actually, quite nicely done. Bored at work, Steve?

SteveDallas · 12-03-2005, 08:13 AM

No I did it in a rush last night. Gotta go deliver it today. (I'm surprised LJ didn't recommend the purchase of a new Nissan vehicle as a soothing activity!

)

are you really? you strike me as someone who dreads the car buying experience. remember, i'm spooky wise. i know things.

SteveDallas · 12-03-2005, 12:09 PM

Yeah, what else do you know???

And yeah, I dread it, not so much for the process (though I find that annoying). I dread it because I hate spending so much time to acquire something I loathe. (I hate driving.)

Badgerino · 12-03-2005, 05:29 PM

so about 10 days ago I basically said take this job and shove it. It was a decent paying union job and I was #1 in seniority with 11 years on the job and 3 weeks vacation and about 6 months ago the #2 guy quit which really was my catalyst to get out. Even though I do not have a job and will take the rest of the year off, I feel very good about my decision. Last weekend I tried to work up some remorse about quitting, but I couldn't and I still can't.
Life is too short to be unhappy with your work. My living expenses are very small and I actually feel a sense of adventure about things.

My first year at my last job we had a guy who got fired that we thought might go postal because he owned many guns
and seemed to have bubbles in the think-tank. I can remember eating lunch and thinking what I might do or run to if he came back shooting. Once you reach that frame of mind, possible or not, it gets scary.

Not everybody who owns lots of guns is some kind of a wack job, you know.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-03-2005, 09:03 PM

I'd be much more worried about the person that owns;
1- One handgun
2- one shotgun
3- one handgun and one shotgun
4- one handgun and one rifle
5- one shot gun and one rifle
6- one tank
7- one attack helicopter
8- a lot of guns
In that order.

Speaking of Toad's party....SD, I sat across the table from you and I own over 30 guns. Were you worried? Or just unhappy about me blowing smoke at you?

I didn't say that. What I said was that we knew the guy who was fired had a lot of guns AND he seemed to have bubbles in the think-tank. Although not everybody who owns lots of guns is some kind of a wack job, just as in the general population, some probably are wack jobs.
