How is everybody today?

I had a typical day yesterday at work till 5pm when my bosses called me into the conference room. We are a few weeks past raises so I've been waiting to hear what the deal is. It started out well with them praising me because I'm so awesome. Then they said they would like to offer me $2k per semester to go back to school. I've been considering going back to school but I've had some issues with it. One being I was always afraid of missing to much work. So I was like FLIPPING sweet! Just then when I thought I couldn't get anymore excited they give me a 12% raise.
Basically what all this means is that by me going back to school they want me to get my Architecture Stamp and become a partner. It's a long road...but I think it will be worth it in the end.

Ok...
Hope ya all have a great day!

Congratulations Stosh!

No news here other than the RM glasses arrived and I was forced to have a beer last night.

I got my glasses.... I didn't want to tain them with beer yet. They are to nice to use! I think I'll just use them as a center piece on our table.

WTF - didn't you just get a raise last year or something??? I haven't had a raise in 4 years. But seriously - congrats man. Are you going to do the school thing?

I had a decent day yesterday. Made some big headway on a project I've been knee-deep in for a couple of months. Rode on my lunch break and the weather was perfect. Had a good night at home with the kids, slept pretty well, but have been having really weird dreams of late, and last night was no different.

Today looks to be an even better day - I finished the project I mentioned above, will be finishing another one this afternoon (which means of the 3 things I HAD to get done with week, I'll be done with the 2 biggest ones by the end of today). And to top it all off, the weather today looks to be even better than it was yesterday. I might actually get to ride in shorts today! Supposed to push 70!

Cool - I was looking at those. I definitely needs some pint glasses, and I'm really digging the Yeti ones.

get a bunch of them and use them as center pieces for your wedding reception. Then give them away at the end!

Yeah I'm going to do the school thing. The BIGGEST problem with the school thing is Arch. isn't something you can do online and even though Vassar, Marist, SUNY New Paltz are all within an easy drive, NONE offer 4yr architecture degrees. I will most likely have to take some classes in NYC.
Yes I got a raise 1yr ago.

No you're not invited!

I wouldn't come anyways! :eviltongu

that just about sucks. How long (time, not distance) would that drive be for you?

 

[stosh]

I think NYC is 69miles from my exit on Rte 17.

My office is about 20min closer.

[Nick]

That's great news, stosh.

[BussaFrame]

Congrats Stosh. It will be worth it in the long run.

Morning Everyone.

THAT IS GREAT STOSH CONGRATS! I guess the don't notice how much time you spend on the monkey

That is a great opportunity

 

[stosh]

Yeah you're all safe for now! Unfortunatly I had some close friends move down there so my visit is imminent.

 

[JRB]

Congrats, stosh. I just had a big storm with no rain that blew my friggin' redbud tree in half. OK - not quite half, since the portion that blew down was the big side.

Other than that - I am thinking of taking a 35% pay cut to go run the bike shop.

 

[bluebug32]

Congrats Stosh! I can tell it was a good day for you when you didn't even mention your bike ride last night. How was it?

that didn't go so well. I took my front der off because I THOUGHT I didn't need it. Well apparently I did. I kept loosing my chain without it!

 

[BurlyShirley]

I stared at my bike longingly for 3 hours instead of riding...

 

[McGRP01]

Morning. I was a meeting all day yesterday at our Network Operations Center. It was cool...I actaully learned a lot of stuff. And we got free lunch. The bike is on the Jeep today and I'll be riding after work. I'm actually a bit nervous about it for some reason. This will only be my second ride of the season, and the first one almost killed me. That along with the fact that I'm just getting over a 3 week cold makes me think that it's gonna be a slow pace tonight. Guess I'll do the best I can...

 

[brungeman]

Well I have been chasing down a problem with my T-shirt Dryer for the past month+. The school Electrician took a few minutes to diagnose a problem with part A, so we ordered that part, (2 week wait for it to arrive) then the thing still didn't work, electrician sais it has to be this part B. (2 week wait for part to arrive) replace part still not working! The power tech teacher and I look at the thing, and diagnose Part C is not working, 2 week wait, put part in, and the thing works! WHOOT WHOOT! This means we will finally be able to print T-s now.

last night Bek and I took Emma and our dog for a walk up on our back hill, we had a great time, and Emma brought home a nice collection of rocks. I am glad she doesn't mind gettin dirty! she likes playing in the dirt, and picking up sticks and stuff. The funniest thing is every time she sees a bike she shouts Daddy!

I guess things are good today.

 

[TreeSaw]

Good morning! I've had a most excellent day thus far. The little monster got up at 6am (I couldn't believe she slept so long) and played for a few minutes before nursing. Once she fell asleep, I decided to get up and do a light workout...pilates it was and then I had some breakfast, paid some bills, checked e-mail, now I am getting ready to do some crunches on the pain ball and hopefully will get in a ride and one more nursing before noon

CONGRATULATIONS Stosh -- sounds like your company really appreciates you and values you as an employee.

Tonight we are meeting up with the priest to discuss Syd's christening (it's this Saturday) and having dinner at my folks house.

 

[narlus]

douglas, gotta ask what holds that coveted #1 worst movie in a theater title.

great spin class last night; i did a hard, steady effort @ for the entire night w/ a couple of short intervals thrown in, listening to my own tunes. then went out to dinner w/ some project team members and had a great duck dish (pan-seared breast, confit leg, spring roll w/ duck, and some greens w/ cured duck meat).

 

[bluebug32]

that didn't go so well. I took my front der off because I THOUGHT I didn't need it. Well apparently I did. I kept loosing my chain without it!

Uh-oh...is it back on now?

 

[robdamanii]

Morning monkeys. Day 5 of break holds NOTHING of interest. I've not had breakfast or been in the shower yet.

*yawn*

 

[Heidi]

It's been forever that I posted in one of these threads. It is awesomly nice out this week - perfect riding weather. So, that's what I did yesterday! I went out for about 20 miles of nice fast riding. Today I'm going mountain biking after work. Can't wait!

 

[stosh]

Uh-oh...is it back on now?

it will be tonight.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

Thank god that brungeman thread was deleted...

to keeping the board to atleast some sort of standard...

 

[Polandspring88]

Had 2 tests today. The first one went well, the second was just absolutely awful. I did all of the homework, and did it very well, but this test was just too long and had too much information on it. It was overwhelming, and I didn't do as well as I hoped. Oh well. Now off to work I go.

 

[robdamanii]

Update: I finally showered and went out to get some kielbase and some sausages for dinner. Should be a good grilling evening.
