Yup. The time of year where I have 1000 things to do, and no time for myself.

And, I'm out again....

The new guy didn't shoot anyone today.

I can't wait to quit this job.... 4 more months.

Four more months will fly by. Are you going to find a new job or retire?

Neither. Just not going to work anymore. Selling everything, going to live off the grid.

The new guy sitting in front of me at work has a serious anger management issue.

No less than 3 times a day he is arguing with someone on the phone, and telling them to fuck off in no uncertain terms.

Realestate agents. Landlords. Pizzerias. I think his ex. And he has these conversations in the middle of the office where everyone around him can hear.

I might have to bring the Kevlar vest into the office just in case....

Her: I have a gig Sunday at 1PM.

Me: So you're going to be gone for 5-6 hours on Sunday?

Her: No, it should only be a couple, but it's an hour drive.

Me: So, 5-6 hours with the drive time?

Her: No, maybe 3 hours, tops.

Me: ....

Her: Well, and I have to be at a location by 11AM to get ready.

Me: So you're leaving around 10:30, and coming home around 4?

Her: Probably.

Me: So, you're going to be gone for 5-6 hours on Sunday?

Her: I guess.

...

Why does she think I don't know how this works?

Time keeping. Recognizing how much time things take. How much needs to be invested. She always thinks things will take less time than the reality states they will, and always thinks she can do more, or squeeze more into her day.

If you believe in intelligent design, you've never tried to lose weight....

I believe in intelligent design and anyone with any intelligence at all would say “weight” isn’t the issue, it’s what you see in the mirror that’s the issue.

Go, stand on the moon, you’ll weigh less. Did that weight loss change your perception?

2 men, both 6’2”, both 230lbs. One a fat slob. The other, chiseled by the gods. Is “weight” the issue?

We deal with gravity on this planet. It doesn't matter what affect gravity on other celestial bodies would have on you, and the term "losing weight" is merely a catch-all idiom for trying to reduce the percentage of fat stored within your body. Thanks for you philosophy on the matter.

Maybe 2019 will be my year....

Nah.

Every day I log on, and peruse that site, it reminds me of the possibilities of life.

But you have to actually want to explore the possibilities, and not be afraid of every damn thing.

I'm sorry, I have been in my career for over 20 years. I'm not willing to accept $8/hr for professional services.

You said you wanted to move your company forward. I assumed you knew professional services would demand a compensation plan in line with what you are expecting to get.

So I've discovered the guy who I'm supposed to be "training" with (mainly, he's supposed to answer my questions if I have any) is one of those people who wants to end conversations so quickly that he doesn't listen.

When asked a question, he will begin answering it long before the question is complete, leaving me to wait for him to answer it, then state the question again. Sometimes, I have to ask about four times before I finally get through the question, and he can give me a complete answer.

Then we both walk away frustrated.

It's not efficient.
