    I have decided to buy one of those mini recorders that the ancient ones use to remind them to take their meds and to flush the toilet. I'm going to use it here at the office to remind myself why I work here and why I put up with this horse crap.

      That book you gave me Ali, "Biodiversity in Norfolk", is really short.

      I passed that to her, but she dropped it, she was all fingers and thumbs.

          Slacker, I was in a job I hated for the last four years. Due to family circumstances it wasn't possible for me to move so I sat it out. Every now and then I'd get wound up and need to let of steam, but I managed to not fatally wound anyone. ;) As soon as circumstances allowed my CV was out there and I now have a decent job with a good company. Hang in there until you can justify to yourself and your family that the time is right. Until then remember :java: by day and :beer: by night.

                        Have you ever seen Stephen Fry and Delia Smith together? I think it is rather suspicious.

                              It's posts like this that truly make me believe in the concept of 'soul bros' :laugh: I feel your pain, man. If there is a discount on those devices count me in. Polish up the resume and just have it ready. Don't go looking, but if something comes up, be ready.

                              If it's as bad as he says, he probably should go looking. Sounds like a change of scene in the near future is necessary.

I don't have the time "right now" to pursue other ventures. I literally have to remind myself not to tell someone to stick it where the sun doesn't shine and to just shut up and do my job. A person can only take so much.

                                      By other ventures, do you mean leave the industry or just that job? I've been trying to figure out a way to start teaching that doesn't require me going back to school. I'm also unrealistically hopeful about making it into the Second City Conservatory, where they would provide insurance and a low paying job, but I'd be able to write and work on my comedy almost full-time.
