someday, i will teach at a small liberal arts college in a picturesque setting, with adoring young coed students, plenty of "research time" to wrench cars, and tenure so solid they'll have no choice but to pay off my lawsuits.
meanwhile, i will pour another cup of coffee.
sorry, had to publicly vent.

We should hang out more. I have no F-ing clue what you are working on.
B
Oh yeah.. funny that you found time to post on the clubsite..LOL
B
this is currently my "get psyched drink more coffee" procrastination phase.
when i can't handle reality, i come here.
We should trade jobs for one day :finger2:
B
I would sympathize, but I don't know what half of your words meant. I think I'm sorry, but I'm not 100% sure.
Maybe you should switch from coffee to beer. At least it would make things a little more interesting. Just a thought...
Ha! let's try it, might be a neat experience...*
*except for those unsuspecting customers who drop their 996's off for service **
** and, possibly, except for my freshman
it could be worse try being laid off and not being able to afford tp to take a shiat
Good luck.
I'm just closing a $2.5MM venture debt deal, bidding on a $20MM debt recapitalization, planning for 2005, writing a 6 page term paper on management effectiveness, and trying to understand derivatives and differential calculus. With my spare time, I hang out with my enormous 11 month old, and provide much needed care and support to my better half.
When I want to have fun I go out in to the garage and stare at my 914.
Yeah yeah- what am I doing here.... shut it!
holy, shit -- are you guys saying that it gets harder ?
okay, signing off. thanks for the perspective people. especially the toilet paper thing, that just put my ass in gear.
Tough break, Nathan. So... all of tomorrow is shot, right? How 'bout Wed? I was planning on meeting up with B for his bday (unbeknownst to him, probably) for lunch. Will you be avail? We can go grub and have a couple beers.
Jen
What's a venture debt deal and how do you close it? What's a debt recapitalization?
Inquiring minds what to know
I know you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure that what you heard is not what I meant.
Hmmm....let me tell you, the small liberal arts college is the way to go...I am on my 4th week at the new job...I may not be a prof with young coeds staring at me, but keeping their network up isn't all that bad either, always got to wander out in the hall during the class change times
Good luck, you will make it ... its funny, I have been out of school long enough that I have forgotten the nights like you are having and am considering going back...hmmm

...and speaking of Schopenhauer and Hegel.....
Philosophers song
Immanual Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed
Thank you Monty Python
Dude, I'm working 12 to 18 hours a day, 5 days a week and then some on most sundays
Been doing that for the past 8 weeks and I'm stiil 4 weeks behind scedule
I see my daughter 1 hour a day and the wife 2 hours.
Keeps the relationship fresh though... we actually have things to talk about on saturday
The only people I talk to are clients, bitchin' over the phone and you guys here on the BBS
So... I'm not feeling sorry for ya :finger2:
I offer anyone here to trade jobs.
$600k worth of repairs to perform on pumps currently in the shop that are due in the next 3 weeks, another
$200k are already past due, mechanics who make $20 an hour and are overpaid, 4 apprentices who try hard but don't know their ass from a lathe, primadonna machinists who think that I don't realize when they are dragging jobs out, a boss that is riding me because profit margins are low, and Cal OSHA all over my butt for not having guards on all the machines in the shop.
If I wasn't a greedy bastard I would quit right now.
but I can't complain
