Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 84: Steal This.
One of my patients looked at me once and told me she was going to live in a state where the people worked to live and didn't live to work. I have never forgotten that. I gave up a much higher paying job to work where I am now and haven't had a raise in a 'few' years. I am much happier. You need to plan before you pull the plug tho.
To even piggy back on that, I had a prof say to me once "you gotta love where you live, after that you can work things out". So I can understand why CHA wants to stay where he is. Its also the same reason why I am looking for jobs all over the country, me wants to go exploring!
BTW CHA, just posted about 10 Civil jobs today
Great day in 231-land. Started off my morning with a 20 mile run, did a "roving demo" today at work and crushed my goal (supposed to sell 6 units, sold 20), and had a pretty good turkey sandwich for lunch.
20 miles nice!!! someday too I will run 20 miles.
At least they don't have dingleberry pie.
ok two things
1) ewwww
2) I may have to save that line for later.
I have had whale! In Reykjavik. Whale sushi. I said, Aren't whales protected? They said their whale was caught before the bans, and was being kept in the freezer, and they thawed out as much as they needed. Kind of wish they'd told me that before I ate it.
Still, it was interesting. Very beef-like.
Some places allow limited hunting on whales, mostly for cultural purposes. I believe Iceland does not follow the EU ban on hunting whales, which is one of their hangups about joining the EU. Currently Iceland is not an EU member. And while they do not allow widespread hunting, it is monitored as otherw fishing industries. Why the heck I know this I am not entirely sure.
The team. He was playing in the 2 tier of the select league in NE. All the select teams are run for profit and have owners/investors. Huge proliferation of the select teams in our area has decimated the town system in the last few yrs. Recently a number of them have folded (like L'il's team last yr) but it still screws up the whole system.
I didnt know those select teams are run for profit, that is kind of crazy too. When did kids sports get so crazy. It wasnt like that when I was a kid, I did see a little of it when my brother played hockey but it wasnt too bad (he was a C player).
I saw the most outlandish behavior out of parents when I worked at the hockey rink. Insanity. I was thankful to have the glass to protect from from the animals when I made ice.
Also, lower back pain blows. I'm way too young to feel this crappy. Seriously, I'm holding on to things every time I sit down or get up. I played around online to see what suggestions there were and what I found was don't stretch/over exert but also don't rest as it'll take longer to heal.
Chiropractor might help. I just started going to one and I wish I had gone earlier!!! (over course the landing on my head via the boards might of sped up that process).
TOOT!!!! TOOT!!!!
