That's ok. It's been a long time, 8 months almost. I was starting to sleep at night at least. But it's back to sleepless I guess. Usually I startle and wake easily, and only sleep for 4 hours.

sleep is a funny one i even went through a phase where i was only getting 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night this went on for months but the odd thing was i'd wake up and feel fine and energetic even. I was totally baffled by it.

now I usually have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep i'm up just about every hour to go pee. and i've cut out fluilds and tried all that nothing worked so i just gave up.

i wish i could be a napper but i hate naps i always wake up more tired after and besides with 6 kids wtf am i suppost to nap anyhow lol.,

It's rainy and humid here this morning. BUT, looks like it's really going to cool down tonight and into tomorrow. Looks like just what the doctor ordered

Hi Guys... poo love this weather.. 56 here in Milwaukee when I got up at 4:30am. coffee on the front porch in the early morning.....
hey guys I need some huge feed back.... and this is my safe place for thought.....
1. have been interviewing since Feb on other jobs.... pppffffffttt
2. had an agency that I worked for long time ago hit me in June.
3. did a phone interview with a lady on Thursday last week for 30 minutes
you know the drill... at the end she had so many more to chat with and would not know anything until sometime in sept..
4. Friday night got home from work.. I have the job.. no kidding beans
5. I start knocking on wood Monday next week..... ekekekekkek

ok pros and cons
pro closer to home better money will get to use all of my brain
great group of people and I will not be just a warm body in a chair..

cons have fought so hard for this to work here since Feb 2014... just
ekekekkekekekeekkeke will loose my 40 hours here when second person
hired... the new job could stay full time and be hired premently maybe... maybe.. don't like maybe's but she did check into my work for the company a couple of years ago and chatted with people I had been with.. 2012- 2013 December............. so balance balance

what do you all think.... a warm body in a chair or using ones brain for real...... maybe that is why I have been listening to the song Man in the Mirror............. the only positive change I can make is with me first......

need to pony up and take that step to a better tomorrow... today.... well by
Friday this week.... ekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Hi ardy;
I think the brain use will make you happier in the long run---
I'd take the new one--better money and closer are also great benefits.

What's your gut tell you to do?

i use my brain for a living and hate it. I also get to be a warm body too and get todl to do stuff that i'd just consider unimportant and simply busy work.

Me personally if i could find something to pay the bills where i was up and moving about i think i'd be happiest. but I also might just need a change of scenery too.

neither is any better then the other somteimes we just need something different tho.

I'm a lawyer, so I use my brain a little.

At least from time to time.

That made me smile...thanks!

It's a little more humid here today, but nothing like it was a few weeks ago. I really think the worst of the heat and humidity is gone for this year (I hope)!

I hate to agree with you there. it can certainly seem that way. I've heard it said when you have a good day to really take it all in and enjoy it because there are not to many of them. most days are BLAH or bad it seems like or jsut another dang day.

what helps me is to try and stop and take something in a nice view or a friendly conversation becuase that might be all i get that day thats worth a damn.

I also try to blow of the bad ones and just keep charging forward but it took me a long time to figure that one out and they still get me at times.

It's raining here too. Still a bit on the humid side, but each day brings us closer to cooler weather.

It's somewhat hot and very humid down here in Tn.

But the humidity goes away as the day progresses, so, even though it's very hot after work, it's still dry as a bone.
