Title: I need a vacation
Post by: RadioFreeSeaLab on April 11, 2006, 11:41:50 AM

Without boring everyone with the specifics, things are getting out of hand at work.
I need a vacation.  Just thought I'd vent.
I think I'll get some cigars and scotch, and disappear for a day or so.

Same here.  After six years of verbal abuse by one of the "bosses", I blew up last friday.  My "other boss" said that right now my "employment" with the company is in limbo.

Honestly, I could use some time off myself just to enjoy life abit before I have to get back into the rat race.  But, I'm already informed my boss (the other) that I will file complaints at the labor boards for hostile work environment and verbal abuse.

My grandparents have a nice condo on the beach in Coronado (San Diego) that they rarely use.  I get to use it when I like, as long as they aren't planning to be there.  It's a sweet deal.  Patio, ocean, sunset, cigar.  Mmm.

Dasmi, No.  Just mostly read now and post very little if any.  Got involved in a game, Conquer, so that's been taking up alot of time.

Thank you for asking though.

I'm pretty busy here at work and will be in the up and coming months.. so I took a little trip to Tulsa, OK 2 weeks ago and planing a 2-3 day getaway next week do a little spring trout fishing/turkey hunting with one of my roommates from college. I'll be too busy come summer time to get away for more than a 3 day weekend.

I'm toying around with buying an old fiberglass ski boat and restoring it this summer/winter for higher hopes of local fun next summer. We have a couple of large reservoirs with in 1.5 hour drive from where I live the closest being about 20 minutes away.

I too need a vacation.  3 weeks until finals, two weeks of finals,meetings and graduation crap, then one week off before the 10 week summer research program starts.  I can do it, I can do it.

I do think that after I've given the last final I'm going to head to the gun range for the afternoon.  Shoot, birdwatch, eat a picnic dinner, listen to the wind in the trees, then start grading the NEXT morning.

I work 7 12 hour (6p-6a) shifts in a row. Putting up with whiners, drunks, and other assorted malingerers and malcontents. Eveery now and then we get to save a life, usually without the person knowing how close to dead they were. Sometime we get a thanks, but seldom. But we do get a good feeling when we can have the helicopter on the roof within an hour of the person hitting the door. And the closest one is a 45 minute flight away.

So, every chance I get, I get out of town. This week my wife and I are in Spokane, doing some Dr's apts, seeing friends, and spending money at Best Buy. If I can't get out of town, I usually burn through various calibers of ammo on a regular schedule.

Every one needs to take care of themselves first, all others are after.

So Charby, Did you go to the gun show in Tulsa?  We did, and had a good time.  P95Carry and sm were there also.

Friday: Drive across Kansas
Saturday: Gun Show
Sunday: Drive back across Kansas.

Well, one out of three ain't bad.

I drove by the expo center twice, Dad and I talked about going but we drove up to Claremore to see the Davis Gun Collection instead. Then he gave me a tour of downtown and into the old homes of the Tulsa oil money families. I like old homes and didn't have cash for any new guns with me either.  Plus my dad and I have the same interest in homes so it was a more enjoyable time together. I thought the church Frank Lloyld Wright designed was awesome.
