Hey €uro... I feel you. I'm also completely disgusted with my job - but the steady income and insurance is a shackle at the moment. What sucks is that I know that finding a new career is all I need to move us along, either back east or down to LA... but I'm just sitting and stewing. Last night I was as disconsolate as I've been in a long long while. I'm just sharing 'cos I hear that misery loves company.

On the brighter side, I can attest that I had a great time this past weekend at Casa de Meinke - you have a wonderful home and great friends. If you can remember that work is just what we need to do to facilitate life, then perhaps it will be a bit more bearable (at least that's what I'm telling myself).

Heather and I look forward to crepe-ing with you very soon.

Lumbo dogs on the house for everyone! :evil:

We have a Trader Vic's opening up here on the 6th. I realize you have several down there, but ours is *new*! Plus there's Palisade on Elliot Bay, Ohana in Belltown...yup, I think it's time for a cheering-up road trip. :p

Hating your job sucks. I hate my real job, so I've found that my hobby is what I immerse myself in, which is coaching HS basketball. Is there anything you have the time to immerse yourself in that is pure enjoyment and distraction?

"Always look on the bright side of life...."

:D
We love ya. Don't let the bastards get you down!

I sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you cheer up!

At least you didn't crash a $1.3 million car!

Awww - you guys are the best, I'm somewhere between a blush and being misty eyed.

You know a year ago, I was pretty happy with my job - lot's of opportunities, lots of cool new things, working with some really bright people. But for some reason, the same job is now a struggle (I'll leave my more extensive rantings for a more private venue). On the plus side, I've donre the groundwork in the past that should help me change things in the future - I'm just not sure how much longer I can (or should) wait and be patient.

I must confess, ISMs suggestions give me the greatest pleasure - though I think any commune we put together would have to be something swankier than a farm. Surely we can found our own urban bohemia? Perhaps Motorboat Cruiser can add a dash of his entreprenureal thinking into the mix to make it happen?

Aww in any case - Thank You LoT for at least giving me my very own virtual bohemia to come home to.

Well or been identified as the driver anyway ;)
