Guard Dog Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I was fed up with work so I went for a walk this morning with my dog. We followed Cold Creek to the Hatchee river. Then we followed the Hatchee all the way to the big turn south and cut west through the marsh all the way to the Mississippi. Then we sat and watched the river roll by for hours. Then we walked back. I'm guessing it was about 12 miles round trip. That was a hell of a walk. We were gone 9 hours. The rest of the day I just kind of wasted. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I finished my BSEE working full time and taking 8-12 hours per semester including summer sessions when I could get them at night. It took 8 years. That was a hell of a long time. If you have the wherewithal financially to go full time and finish faster, I'd say do it. Less wear and tear on you and you get to your peak earning potential that much faster so in the long run you're better off. Did you take a couple years off after high school? If you can afford it, you should quit and go to school full time imo. I took a year off to work after a series of bad things caused me a lot of financial grief. Recovered from it, but it was pretty hectic for a few months. What I'm torn about is that my current job pays $20 an hour, and that I have an offer from a large company we work very closely with for a $200,000 yearly position after I graduate with a BA. It's good money, but the 50+ hours I have to deal with is a bitch. I'm feeling kind of like that pic ShadySands posted(even though I'm only about 2 years older) and it's a bit depressing.

If youre two years away from a $200,000/year salary you would be a fool to do anything that would delay that. Imo. Things change and opportunities don't last forever.

But there was a lot of walking in the woods not sure exactly where I was or where I was going so that part was right!

I loved it, I like the fact that behind the scenes it was harder to get the girls but the guys were easy to convince That lady looks like your g-friend with the purple hair?

Woldan Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 While driving my F-150 this morning I heard an unsettling metallic *thunk* come from the rear of the truck. After I parked I discovered that the driver's side rear leaf spring mount has rusted through and let go. Crap, crap, and mega crap. They're about $150+ each, plus labor. This I didn't need. Oh, to live in a state where they don't use rock salt like it was going out of style... Sorry to hear that. Don't you guys coat the bottom of your cars with a layer of protective oil before roads get covered with tons of salt? I know if we didn't do that the salt would eat away the suspension and brakes in no time at all. And as good as Ford cars may be they are not known for their rust resistance. Nice ride BTW, I like the F150. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldan Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I tried to order clothes at Amazon and I failed miserably.
