Well, not today but last week I broke a rear reflector on a 1979 porsche 911 as I was installing it. And lucky me, since it had Porsche written in black and not red, it was No Longer Available (NLA) in north america. So I had to special order a $856 reflector from Italy. But I get to keep the other one.... Awesome
that was funny. The pun. ;D
My work is crazy only because I have to have a blackberry and that thing is glued to me all the time. Even when I am standing in line at great adventure or someplace on my "day off". The worst is when the boss calls the cell and asks me for help with some issue with asia pacific - which is always at night (day time in asia). It's rare but happens. Then I could tell you my great "long-weekend" in february (presidents day) that I spent on conference calls for most of friday night and saturday morning. Sitting in a car on the cell phone/conf bridge while the wife and kids are inside the restaurant you booked for dinner is not fun. But in this economy - it's a job and i'll take it. Being wanted is not a bad thing entirely.
Plus at the end of the day, I watch those guys on the Bering Sea fishing for crab and I say to myself - my job is a cakewalk compared to those guys.
The job pays the mortgage and the fish tank. Now if only it could teach me how to keep tridacnid clams without killing them - that would be nice! lol.

don't take a job and sell frags for a living...then you could say you "created one job" by not applying/getting it. LOL!
Finished a large drip irrigation zone ( thumb is killing me) in the back yard then moved 5 yards of mulch( back is killing me).. I wish i had a day with my kid.. so much more fun
