My FTS is scaling rapidly. I'm not sure how much additional effort I will be putting in soon...

is it time to vacillate to the "I'm leaving" side of the meter before you hit the "but my time off" other wall? :D



too soon?

I'm totally on board with you... 35 hours seems reasonable... 32 even better.
I have to be present for more hours, but I figure I do maybe 20-24 hours of real work per week. including moonlighting. :D and that's ok with me.

Serviced the PNW that I'm currently running on one bike...with low-temp grease. We'll see how that works in the cold. These get REEAAALL slow when the temps drop, unlike the Wolftooth.

Just stop doing more than 40h a week and continue taking as much time off as possible.
My boss made a comment about the amount of work they have coming at us and how we can get it done efficiently so as to not end up having to work 60hrs/wk. I sharply told him that I am paid to work 40hrs and he dropped it very quickly.

I, too, will be suitably horrified, methinks.

Currently have a HELOC, of which I have pulled precisely $0.

Although I have a big CC bill this month, because old cats are expensive. :mad:

Another day at the movie festival another annoyance at work. First time I had to be really mean to someone at work but jesus fucking christ. If your only use at work is "we can't do that" but then you offer no explanation why and what the guidelines are you are useless.

On the Bright side I have seen Maestro in a Cinema and not on Netflix. Visited the inlaws. Feels weird to score easy points there as a good son in law just by visiting and ignoring old mans political ramblings.

I've actually been having periodic auras the last few months. Whenever I'm having them I can't work, so I just message him that I had one. There is a clear trail of me having more seizures as the stress-level they're pushing has been ramping up.

It gets rented when we don't use it, but we use it most of the ski season since that's its point

Its benefits are appreciation and being a nice write off against my regular income :D

And making sure that regular working folks can't get housing.
It's not a house that people working normal jobs in that county would be able to afford regardless. So it's part of a different problem, of not enough affordable housing being built. And I support that. Upzone and build a bunch of condos/apartments everywhere!

Blew a fuse at work after a Technical Fellow at work kept interrupting people and rambling pointlessly for two hours. Don't think I will be getting a Christmas card.
