What are you doing right now?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Just a few dinner meetings and then the trials and tribulations of coming up with a proposal that the majority of 1500 or so generally opinionated people can deal with

Well it's what you love to do. My dentist visit went O.K. I still have 28 teeth but two of them need fillings..#18 and #33..so I'm going back in a week to have that done. 3 years ago I got three fillings and before that I never had one..I have a feeling munching on pretzals isn't helping things..

Back from the gym. After taking a week off because of overdoing it last Monday night, I'm feeling pretty good again. 20 min on stationary bike avg 14 mph and 25 min on elliptical (10 of those backwards). Knee feels strong. I'm going to take it easy this week and stick to elliptical and stationary bike and wait until next week to return to running intervals on the treadmill. My sister-in-law just joined me in registering for a 2-mile race in October so now I have to be more careful about not blowing my chances of actually running it.

Now...going to relax. Tired. I did a lot today.

I just got done reviewing a contract after the finance department hacked it up. As soon as I get it signed and witnessed, I guess I'm employed for a while.

Congrats, Geoff, and good luck! :beer:

In bed watching the news. Going to sleep soon.

Back from the gym and enjoying the fact that the kids are sleeping in this morning.

where will you be working geographically?

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

One hour down...one tombstone sold..next appointment 11AM

 

[Geoff]

where will you be working geographically?

I'm not sure whether I'll use the living room couch or the tilt-swivel wing back chair. I'll probably commute back and forth.

I have a couple of days in Denver the first week of August. The rest of it is telecommuting time. This is a small contract that will be done in 3 or 4 weeks but way better'n an unemployment check.

 

[severine]

I think today just might be too long. No wonder why I don't usually get up at 5:30AM! :lol:

Let's see... finished washing the few dishes leftover from last night, folded and started more laundry, cleaned the bathroom and changed the toilet seat, and sorted through and photographed some of the kids' stuff that I'm putting up for sale. It feels like it should be early afternoon.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

having a snack..wish is was a scooby snack..

So after the 3-4 weeks do you get unemployment again?

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Answering the phones in this office is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're going to get. This one dude took a picture on his digital camara and wanted to know how he could get the picture to us without driving an hour. I said,"You can upload it and e-mail it to us"...his response was,"Are you kidding me, I can't do that"...so he's driving an hour with his camara..lol

Nope. I've already burned through pretty much all of it. You need to work a W-2 job for 6 months to reset unemployment.

I was reading about unemployment benefits the other day and was shocked to see that in some states you can collect up to 79 weeks. When I lost my job in 2004, 26 weeks was the maximum I believe in any state. Different times / economy, but I was really surprised to see how long people can collect for these days.

The one dude at the local bar is collecting for a year. But still only about $300 a week..I guess the key is to collect and find side work for under the table..

Right now eating lunch..enjoying a break from the phones..

I was collecting from the state of PA. At the time I was getting the state maximum which was $410 per week after taxes. Thankfully I had minimal bills.....no car payment, mortgage, low cc payments, etc.
