The compound is under construction. Gathering enough plywood, galvanized tin and used trailers takes time, not to mention stockpiling all the shotgun ammo, canned goods and bourbon.
See, and oddly now that I am back in school my job suddenly seems like a cakewalk. Frustrating at times, but it doesn't hold a candle to the torture I have endured at the hands of the overeducated.
Lulu, actually, spring being here does help quite a bit. I've tried to soak up as much sunshine and fresh air as possible before we're back in the low 30's. I got two good runs in this weekend, and that certainly helps too.
Ten, I've found myself saying a few times lately "thank God I'm not in grad school on top of all this." I'm glad your work seems better in comparison.
Johnny, yep...just a few more years. It's funny, my eldest and I have had this conversation a few times--about how difficult it is to focus on what you're doing right now when you feel like you're only a year or two away from something else you'd really rather be doing.

Welcome back-- you were missed.
BTW, Edmund O'Brien is one of my favorite actors. I was just watching him in "Seven Days in May" on my day off (Monday) last week.

I'm thinking about retirement too. Or a career change. Or drinking heavily. Or all three.
Spring is here though, that should help!

I know that exact feeling every day when I go into work and hope lots of kids cut school that day. I don't know if I can make it until June 22.
