CD I totally understand! I feel like a friggin walking zombie half my time. Two jobs, family, friends, boy toy, social life aaaarghhhhhhhhhhh...I worked 116 hours last two weeks when a normal work week is eighty. it's even worse cuz I had to take four trips up to kamloops. which meant I've spent 20 hours on grehound buses in the last two weeks. CD I thought my day last week was long (6 am to 11:30pm ~ 17.5 hours) but 25 hours! I feel sorry for your wifey. She needs some loving! Don't worry CD when we get our paychecks it will sooooooo be worth it ( i think )
Yah speaking of cincy's question what do you do CD? Cincy I have two jobs working for grayline. Sure you've heard of it. Big worldwide sightseeing company. I book tours, and suck up to old rich people hoping to get tips, also work at a drugstore as a cashier (yuck)
hmm Male nurse eh....tee hee

No worries CD, you get some well deserved rest!
I feel for you guys/gals
I, myself, haven´t had a real job for over a year and a half! Unless you count the almost 3 months of teaching english part time in Madrid last summer. This site keeps me afloat, but once I move back into my apt in Los Angeles and into the full swing of things, I´ll most likely have to find another great paying sales job (unless I get that big-ass directing dea-l soon!).
Believe it or not, it´s hard not doing anything all day when you´re used to working like a madman all your life. Well, I am editing throughout the day, maintaining the site, watching movies, running errands, and making sure my girl is having a fun/relaxing 3 month vacation in the US. But, as soon as she leaves, I´ll probably look for some extra income.
In other words, I doth be a BUM !
Speaking of movies, I just saw "28 days later" and "Pirates of the Carribean." Both awesome flicks! Especially 28 Days which is highly original with good acting and has a "sit at the edge of your seat" story and rythym to it. Those are my picks!

I once heard the phrase "work smarter, not harder." It didn´t take me long to implement that into my daily train of thought I figure, if there are people out there making a living by sitting home and reaching out to millions by way of the web, then that´s the job for me B) !
Cd, it´s no secret as to why they gave you a Supervisor position, because as you´ve proven on this board(many, many, many times over), you´re definitely a natural born problem solver, and we are all grateful for that B)
Cincy, was that the white dress or the red one :D ? Great movie, though, eh?
LL, so now you´re you´re cleaning out some tunnels in Prague, huh?! Lucky guy :D
Ahhh, crap. Gotta get to sleep soon so that I can bum around tomorrow for another 15 hrs in the heat!
