The thing is, I'm very comfortable and happy where I am. Hope I made the right choice.....


    if you are HAPPY doing what you are doing, and can live within your means (not struggling paycheck to paycheck) then you made the good choice.


    Shit, it was a lot of money.... At least with this job, I can probably take of early today and go drink.

    Yeah, I agree with you here. Probably the biggest part of my choice, (aside from being happy) is that right now, I am the top of the totem pole (aside from elected officials) This new position would have put me further back down the pole. Plus I would have gone from working for little .Gov (county- the least evil of the .Govs) to a bigger .Gov (state- a far more evil and incompetent .Gov)

    Hey OBC!

    I think I'll drive up into the mountains tomorrow and find some mud. Maybe do some shootin'.

    Go onto Netflix, go to search, and type in "example." They all look to be the same footage. My wife is annoying our daughter by clicking on each one.

    Somewhere someone is enjoying a nice motorcycle ride, after doing some pistol shooting at the range.

    DMV story.....I have to go get my drivers license renewed. Left work today and headed up to 119 th and Washington Street.

    Not only was the clientele slum-like, the employees that were there, royally sucked major monkey ass. I was there at 12:30 today, and they said it was a FOUR HOUR WAIT. Thirty minutes into my dismal experience, only TWO employees were actively operating their stations....2 out of 10. Fuck yourself, you assholes.

    I'm sorry, but if I have enough time to drive to fucking Grand Junction before you can renew my drivers license, you fags have a serious fucking problem. I'll never attempt accomplishing anything at that location for the rest of my life.
