Losing my memory at such a young age
-
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.

I've thought of telling people here to "go shove it ..." a couple of times. My CV is out there, but there doesn't appear to be a great selection of jobs availabel here :(

By other ventures, do you mean leave the industry or just that job?
My ultimate dream job would be to work as a forest ranger. However, I can't do what I want to do and provide for my family in a manner they are accustomed to on a ranger's salary. I love the outdoors and wilderness and little creatures that go bump in the night.

I can totally understand that. I saw a position to be a forest ranger in the Chicago area years back. They provided the house on the edge of the forest, and it was in Naperville, Illinois, the middle of suburbia USA. However, there is a lot of Forest Preserve in the area. It was a sweet opportunity for whoever got it.

I bought a book called "How to improve your memory", and put it in my bookshelf next to a book called "How to improve your memory".

Ali has so many stalkers she's had to take out a restraining order on Suffolk.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

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

And why do you do that?
Let's put it this way. If I didn't have a wife and kids to support I would have ditched this shit hole a long time ago. 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.

I think you should document those notes in front of the people.
Slacker007 documented in front of his boss:
Note to self: Stop trying to explain details to the boss since he will never understand them.
Then occasionaly slip in the "Buy an AK from the pawn shop" for some real excitement!
