Don't let it get to you ... I got fired one time and I was top salesman for two years, but I moved and got a better job.

It all works out somehow ... Pray for me if you pray going on 70 days of no sleep or very little sleep. Just woke up from a two (2) hour nap however and that is a good sign.

VA won't give me any sleeping pills due to too many vets killing themselves due to PTSD ...

I have a home shop full of toys that I like and a shop-day planned for tomorrow. I plan to build a combination grinder/cut-off saw for two of my boys that are working together. It will be a small portable tool that will screw down to a workbench or sawhorse and be available for small metal fabrication chores on a job or in a shop.

Hey what did you say.....

RE-READING

You got sacked and celebrated, you must had a dead end job plus a nasty boss.

So the mad poster returns full time to posting back on here.

Yes it was a crappy job but my boss had to fire me reluctantly owing to pressure from above (he's just a contractor)... anyway it was only ever meant to be temporary because of the unexpected turn of events in my artistic career. He said if I need one then he'll provide me with a 'glowing' reference

pressure from above...C'MON! DEBAUCHERY, INEPTITUDE; OR LACK OF VERISIMILITUDE 'glowing' usually downsizes to 'damned with faint praise'... but Steed's right; we need the mad poster full time in the forum!

Spent the best part of the week looking for a 2020 holiday and narrowed it down to two in Mexico and three in Greece but each time the wife is invited to choose she goes over to TripAdvisor and any negative reviews are given more weight and consideration than the majority that are good ones

Had a bone marrow biopsy on Friday. Thirty minutes to extract some marrow from my hip to find out why I'm so anemic. It didn't hurt, and I was able to walk out under my own power. Thursday the 31st, Halloween day, they're replacing the lens on my other eye.
