I wish ! I work with my hands and do residential home improvements/construction which is a nice way of saying I do manual physical labor which as I get older is kicking my ass though I would not trade it for any other employment when office politcis/playing nice/sucking up to advance are the alternative. Something very satisfying about doing a mans work,working with men who will tell you to fk off right to your face and nothing bad comes of it other than in extreme cases a face to face man to man,working together in concert to accomplish a goal rather than to satisfy personal ego and finally giving muscles a workout no gym can can match,actual everyday working muscles as opposed to show muscles to try to get laid because other than that you have nothing to offer ,plus I LOVE the smell of frsh cut wood and forcing building materials to conform to my will The computer work is more me being a knowledge junkie so I have to read everything that interests me combined with personal electronic design work.This goes 100% away from my former method of hand drawn schematics with red ink modifications then full scale hand drawn layouts to CAD design plus pdf files instead of hard copy data-all meaning more time in front of a CRT where the pixels are in continous motion and not stable print that is far more eyesight freindly (maybe a bit of old age thrown in ? ) Not my work Tomo.Never took the time to have that skill with so many other things taking precedence and 24 hours way too short for a single day ;D I have a memory like a friggin' bear trap for some things so I can usually drop an animation or image into thread to add to a point being made that at one point or another I came across while at the same time have a hard time remembering what I had for breakfast.selective memory at work

Hey, ...
I wish I live near you. I am living ego-dom and people are so darn touchy here. I hate to offend anyone, but I hate to having to care every stinking letters I say. Feel like going to the first dates, everyday!

that would be cool as hell ! I find most folks I have met (and that in extensive travels in the U.S.) can not only take a joke but fire one back without skipping a beat in real life but these are folks that live a well rounded balanced life.They actually get out and DO something and before they were adults played as hard as they now work and by "play" I do not mean video games that are creating a generation of shut-ins The internet dwellers in my experience are about the most rude thin skinned bunch of know it all punks I have ever had the mispleasure of dealing with and many could use an up close and personal lesson in manners or how to chill. these are folks that in another time (before the internet) would be called anti-social or outcasts because they have zero people skills and/or little use for person to person interaction or in some cases sociopaths that have no feelings and being numb set out to make others just as miserable. These are things I can recognize having known many humans but have no real understanding of,no empathy for not being able to internalise being an asshole on purpose because it is so against my nature (no matter what the general consensus ) and when I meet folks that ARE rude and obnoxous for whatever reason in real life I give them a simple "well maybe you should just go fk yourself dickweed" and continue on my way knowing i said and did the ONE THING such persons have no defense against-straight at you bitch ! This leads to two things : 1-i forget the "non" event within ten minutes it not being particularly important to me or any part of my actual life ;D 2-that person will dwell on the event and plot many scenarios of revenge even though they will have no shot and likely never ever again in their life cross my path again.Rather than let it go and move on it being of no big importance it BECOMES all consuming and of GREAT importance.It will eat at their guts over time until they get a self perceived satisfaction,some payback for the slight because these type of folks have no clue what it is to be a social animal and deal with an individual face to face without feeling inferior poor them Rick's next class on the "The Human Condition and How To Deal With Assholes" will be next saturday,same time,same station.Be there or be caught out wondering what all the fuss is about
