Long day

Post by Maverick »

My day is finally over had a brutally busy day at work and now am done. I thought it would never end. Ahhhhhh I'm going to red robin for a beer and a burger. Anyone ever have days where it feels like it will never end and nothing goes how it should. oh my god it was so like that today. the stars were not in line in Lynnwood today. ](*,) everything is done and happy customers so all is good, now BJ needs BEER. :occasion5:

:occasion5: I'm enjoying a nice cold ESB right now, but I need to go diving! I was thinking how I'd like to plan a Dive/Post dive Beer Day soon. Things have been a little weird everywhere lately.

Truck stops? I KNEW IT! Some go camping... some hang out in truck stops.

It has been weird lately... the same weirdness around the holidays when everyone cranky and antsy and not diving... yet people are diving.

Hang in there Mav! You poor Bastard. I was thinking she'd be going a little later in the year. :crybaby: I'm sure you'll be going to NZ at least once a year! Get ready for some hellacious phone bills!

I feel your pain though, Hopefully Mariette will be here by the end of the year. \:D/

Ya I've been there BJ .. Because of the snow in december I couldn't get around and clean my clients pools. So my monthly income for Jan was 1600.00.. My child support payment is 1300.00 .. Then I had to pay sales tax to the DEPT of Revenue 8K.. Which I had saved in the bank thank goodness. So this month Hopefully I will be back to my reg monthly income. How would you like to be a car salesman right now ? Or being laid off from boeing , or microsoft ?

Dude, they have cars in NZ.....

Seriously, get skype. At least that way you won't be running up the hellacious phone bills. Long distance sucks, I had to do it for only 2.5 years, and even that felt like a long time. It was worth it though.

Skype is great. Computer-to-computer is free, and computer-to-phone is cheap (like 2.1 cents/minute when calling a US or Canada phone). I assume iChat is similar.

Mav, look into this too. Mariette and I use it and she can call me anytime she has access to an internet connection. It's free and allows her to call me on my cellphone when I'm out running around.

BJ, this means that you have up to 4 years to think of a way to move there and be with her. I'm sure that John understands and will help you work it out. I know you guys just bought a house too, so that's tough, but hey - the rental market has picked way up since you bought the place.

Sometimes what appear to be the worst things happening in our lives turns out to be good things in the end. I know, much easier to tell someone that than to hear and live it yourself.

New Zealand IS one of the most amazing places in the world. They have cold water diving there and I'm sure that you can bring any form of auto detailing to the next level there, if you go that route.

Anyway, look at all the support you're receiving on this board. You have a lot of friends behind you.

She mailed herself. Told me she had a package she needed taken to USPS to be mailed. Said it was heavy.

Looking back in hindsight, the air holes should have been my first clue huh? #-o

Hmmm... Anytime you want to break away and head South to dive you got a dive buddy down here in the South end.

And... have Cuppie take good notes on the diving. I want to dive New Zealand!!! (Only because I care and want to keep you all company, of course.)

And last, but not least, (I never thought I'd be saying this on this board, but...) Mav, I have a verse from the Torah for you:

"So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her."
-Genesis 29:20

Hope this don't sound too sappy, but may the four years fly by in a flash for you because your love for Cuppie...
