Thanks. Nice enough day today except for the winds. 18-25MPH is no fun to ride in. But I had a ton of late season yard work anyway, so I got my calorie burn in.

Then I came home and finished with the rose trimming, and decided to upgrade the Trek from that spot in the one shed that requires a severe dead-lift to close the door, to hooks in with the motorcycle's shed. Oh, and then I put on just my vest, in shorts and rubber boots, and went for about 10 miles on the motorcycle, just to mix the oil around. |

If you have drinks and women, then what is the need for porn? If you're watching porn with women, then you're doing it wrong. Sure you can watch it together, but in my experience (if it's being done right) what's going on in front of you should eliminates the need for porn anyway.
Also, if these three things eliminate all your problems then your life must be pretty decent. No mention of finances, mental or physical health? FTFY |

I'm a moron. For whatever reason I don't know, but I never changed the clock on my nightstand over the weekend. All other clocks were changed.
For the past few days, when I wake up and look at it, I know it's an hour earlier than the time on the clock. This morning I looked at it and just got out of bed. I went downstairs and made my coffee and went about my morning routine. I didn't realize until 30 minutes later that it was 3:00 am and not 4:00 am. Someone shoot me! It's going to be a long day. And yes, the clock is now changed.

It's getting earlier and earlier. What happened to the days when the only time I saw 4:00 am was at the END of the day?

My commute is nothing really. I'm usually in work by 6:30 am. This morning I pulled out of my driveway at 5:32, went to Starbucks and was in my office at 6:03. Going home takes a bit longer with almost rush hour traffic at 4:20 pm, 45 minutes for 18 miles compared to 22 miles in the morning due to Starbucks being one exit further than my office.
I don't get up that early because I have to, I get up that early because the clock in my brain says it's time to get up.

I'm really not a fan of the way the working hours are laid. Most people (for some really fucky reason) prefer to leave work early; I'd much rather stay 9-5 than 8-4. This one company that I was really keen on working for said their hours during the week are 8-4.30, and fridays are 8-2pm. Like, why? What's the point of coming in so early, 4.30pm and 5.30pm will not make a big difference in what you end up doing that night. I just don't get it I honestly think this is the world's greatest luxury that nothing can compare. Waking up without an alarm is just so satisfying and great! Not even about the working from home thing, I'd be so happy if I could not set an alarm during the week |

The cost of living in the city is very high, I'm really not making what I thought I would be as an engineer. Rent near the office is $1500-2000 for a studio, and the lower end of that spectrum barely gets you laundry in unit... This means I either have to suck it up and have to be good with my mouth to blow the bosses well enough to be promoted quickly, or live outside the city and have an 45min-1h commute I really should've just bought a house or made an investment or something instead of blowing upwards of $250k in school, terrible mistake |

It depends what type of job and interaction you have with others; think customer facing. If my customers start at 8:00, I can't have my people come in at 9:00. On the flip side, if I have customers on the west coast I need coverage here later.

But just getting the experience under your resume is where you will start to make things happen. Next I went into a chemical company..and they had a training budget for the Engineering group. I maxed mine out every year while the other guys didn't care about it. If I could find a certification that pertained to my job..I was doing it. But it took me 20 years to get into my current position which is Engineering Manager. I have a ME and CE that report to me...and also the maintenance department. And if you recall the recent bitching I did on here about my position..I did get a salary/bonus increase. I also got the IT department as well. But that came from the fact that when I had a budget for training, I was doing A+, Network +, Cisco, and MSCE training that was paid for by the other company. Two totally different fields, but I made it work. I'm actually compensated very well now...but I had to "claw and scratch" every bit of the way as nothing was ever given to me. But hang in there and kick ass. Develop contacts and Network with others...and word will get out about your abilities. That is when things start opening up for you!
