I don't want to go to work today---I would rather be doing...?

[Livia]

I don't want to work...I just want to bang on the drum all day....

Sleeping in more would have been nice. I'm in the process of redecorating my bedroom with a Moroccan/Indian/Shangri-La-esque theme. I just got a faaabulous burgundy velvet duvet cover and put it on the bed last night.

I'd also rather be outside 'cause it's a gorgeous day!

I have a nit-picky supervisor at work and Ive just been given the entire General Assistance caseload that made the last GA worker kookoo.
Yay. If it werent for the neat people I work with (ok one really neat guy ) and the benefits, I'd be moving or something. Alright, probably not, Im just nervous about Court today.

Jason, your idea to open a store (with your friend?) sounds wonderful. My very good friend who owned his own Salon awhile back (and sold it to move to Washington State to please his partner who then broke up with him, ah life) has now decided that he is much happier with a pared down lifestyle, no real strings attached. He's having more fun, and he's actually doing quite well financially since there are no real expenses to maintain (or significant other LOL) He'll be buying a little home for himself soon, and a second home in MY neck of the woods where he spent time as a young boy.

Maybe there is some truth to the stereotype of a mid-life crisis where people completely take a new direction...and from all Ive heard/read, the second time around, people are actually happier with their new choices...If you DO go ahead with your idea, I wish you all the best Jason

Family court is a MF'ing ZOO - I hate it and the biases in it at every level.

As for the store, I really am looking into making that happen - though it likely will not and the cashola from this job would be very hard to walk away from. but, we'll see.

In my small time here on earth, I've learned that money isn't everything. I would rather have a job that I enjoy, making enough to pay my bills, then to have a high profile career and lots of money and be miserable. I would love to flip houses. But, I don't have the money to start that. And, it's not the right time in the housing market. I think it would be a blast, though.

Today? I would love to be somewhere in the Appalachians having a picnic and enjoying the scenery. I just returned from Tennessee Sunday. It's so lovely down there. I just love it in the south.

I second that. I am so ready for Spring, and luckily with the weather warming up these past few weeks, it looks like Spring is already here

I hope we don't get anymore cold weather. I am DONE with the cold weather .

Shuddup! We just had the warmest winter ever. What cold? Wimp!

On edit: Just remembered that one freakish ice storm in early December. But other than that, we got lucky, babe!

oh there were cold days...bitter cold from my perspective, but then again, I've lived in Texas all my life so I guess i don't really know from cold . To me anything below 55 degrees is cold!

Maybe its time to seek greener work pastures - if anyone will have me

Actually, I have been thinking about leaving the law altogether and opening a store of some sorts. Yes, it would be a huge income slam, but I would love to be out of this rat race.

Here here! Or is that hear hear? Beautiful dog, I saw one in Fanueil Hall over the weekend and it made me think of you.

I'm so tired of the politics in the rat race and would also love to get out.

Right now I'd rather be doing... well let's just say it's been a while Hanging out at home watching Gilmore Girls or a movie with my kitty would also be great. Or reading a book or magazine with him, he loves to snuggle when I read. Of course, he snuggles with my shin so I can't reach him. But sometimes if its cold he will snug right up to me.

walking The Boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach though it is a little chilly out, but the fresh air would do me good not to mention the exercise.

Nope, you don't know real cold! Here is it "bitter cold" when it dips down into the 20s and below.

I would rather be sitting on a beach in Bora Bora.

I would rather be riding my bike down Main Street in Daytona Beach for Bike Week 2006!!!!! It's the first year we've missed, in 6 years. I'm so depressed. Instead, I'm stuck up here in the fricken cold north! Sorry it's so big but I wanted you to get the full effect of what I'm missing

Damn, that just seems wrong, you should be there!

Are most of the people pretty civilized there during the week? I mean they dont have a bunch of toothless Jethroe's running around do they?
