welllll, not sure why I work so hard when the peeps who DON'T get days off. I worked a bit here and there all week so I could leave early TODAY but guess what?! ain't gonna happen because my effing manager scehduled a report review meeting at 1. THe reports BTW were not ALL written by me, 1 of 3 (yes, i did 2 in half the time SHE DID ONE not to mention I had to have her rework hers FOUR times (I was team lead)!) the best part!! SHE ISN'T HERE..so SHE GETS THE ENTIRE DAY OFF and I get one hour off after doing the bulk of the fvcking work. :wtf:
:shakes head: :ugh2: it has NOT been my week. crap crap crap.



sorry for the early mornign rant.


I did get to drive the Z today-sitting in the parking lot waiting on me.....ahhhh....:yum:

Good morning mr. onzedge ms. bc, and all the sleepy heads still snoozing. :hello:

I can sympathize with you ms. bc and can only provide the advice you already know - just get past it and look forward to the fun things.

I'm in a similar situation at my office where I transferred from a staff in LA of 14 to an unexperienced staff of 6, and have played catch-up for two years now. Weekends, holidays and vacation time spent working.

At the end of the day (could be 10:00 pm sometimes), I still have my family, my friends, and my Z to look forward too! :tup:

It's good to vent, just don't let it consume you like I let it do me all the time. mrs gurney is a saint for dealing with me for 32 years.

Now that the pep talk is over - Come on EASTER! :happydance:

Here's what is keeping me sane:

1. Easter trip to OK to se my cousin, her crazy fun husband and her baby;
2. Mecum auction is coming to Houston April 4 -6;
3. Nismo Fiesta in San Antonio April 12 - 14;
4. Trip to Boardwalk Resort at Disney World April 19 - 28;
5. Aeros and Autos May 11;
6. Indy Time Trials May 18 - 19;
7. Indy 500 May 23 - 27;
8. ...and on and on..

In the meantime, I still have 60 - 70 hour work weeks to contend with, some that make me cringe just knowing what's coming up. I'll deal with it, just like I've always have, and continue to focus on the fun things. At least that's what I try to tell myself. :ugh2:

Have a great Easter all! :tiphat:

Sorry to hear that once again, management gets the perks while the worker bees gets the shaft. :(

Good morning all! :hello:

Onzy, thanks for that dosage of clean old skool hotness! :yum:

Good morning Mike! Thanks for the kind words for all to consider when we've "had it up to here" with management and work! :tup:

I got a text from Mr. ZForce (Curtis) at 2 AM CDT saying that his brother Hal (Halskie) -- another of our Z brethren, has left us. God's speed and RIP, Hal. Here's a shot of him on my back door steps. He was a great guy.

Hi guys.

Mr. Onze, if you happen to speak to Curtis again, please send him my condolences.











Unrelated note: I just read the shop letter from the Amex dispute I opened for the messed up overlays. I'm kind of pissed about how he presented his side of the case and how childish the owner is acting. I'm not posting it online just yet since we have worked it out and he is supposed to be wrapping the fangs and b pillars soon.

I don't know if it's tacky of me to ask, but how did he pass? Last photos you shared of him showed him as very healthy compared to the one you shared today. Sorry if this is not appropriate to ask right now.

Godspeed Halskie!

I hung out at the airport this morning and got a few good images of some touch-and-go practice. MDT is frequently used by Air Force One and an assortment of military aircraft for training. I'm hoping to catch a C-5 in action one of these days. I'm always at work when one is in town, but I hear it!
