The Coffee House

That’s how it’s supposed to work for us, too, but it ends up being used similar to @SquarePeg ’s time clock... “You didn’t sign in until 8:45 today, are you going to stay later to make up for it?” Meanwhile, they ignore the emails sent at 10 pm the previous night.

Working at a college certainly has its disfunctions, but this is definitely not one of them. I would never make it in a corporate job

In fact, one of the associate deans that I work closely with was on vacation a couple of weeks back. He answered an email during that time, and got "scolded" by his/our boss for working while on vacation. No, he didn't really get in trouble - it was more of a good-natured ribbing: "What are you doing on your work email?? This is your vacation time, go get some rest and enjoy yourself!" Our boss is a firm believer in a work-life balance. And yes, I do understand how lucky I am

As I think it will help me, I am off out with the camera today as I have to start again and for me it might try and help a bit plus it is my way of trying to get my head right.

The go back to bed gene is large in me.
Sure wish I could have the weekend off.

Retiring early enough to enjoy what you spent your life working for.

I'm still recovering from a Benadryl coma. Going back to bed.

Thanks Smoke. I'll show this to my wife. She keeps finding work to balance my life with.

And in an ideal world, I will have transferred seed money to my kids and grandkids, provided enough to last my wife if she survives me and spent my last dollar on the day I die, thereby going out of the this world the same way I came in.

Somewhat better than 5 hours today.
Assembled a table and 4 chairs.
33.05 for the week.
Gonna get a right reasonable check next Wednesday. Got some New York style eclairs to try. Decedent is the only way to describe them! Good stuff Maynard!
Gotta get milk, eggs and wieners to take home.

Geez I worked for a county agency for 20+ years, I thought they were anal, but we even had 'virtual' status, at least my job did (not the classroom teaching jobs). And that was in a job having to account for every blasted thing. Wade your peeps at work are wackadoodle.

Oh, there's a trade... now things have picked up, got the 4th round done in more like 40 minutes so they might get this draft done in, oh, 4 hours maybe? Then they replay last night's first round and today's rounds so I can watch it all again.

Well today I went out X-T2 + XF 35mm in the small bag, I went to watch the singers and it took me two hours till I grabbed the camera, and I am so glad I did as well. I only took a few ( 2,204 ), when I first started I felt so guilty that I burst in to tears, then I swear blind I heard a voice say Come on Dave do what you love. I was not being hard or cruel but today helped me so much so that I actually enjoyed my self. I have a lot of editing to do but it will be nice. As I could not bring my self to go and bring my boy back the family have gone or the do later as they fly out in the early hours. My photography is going to be so helpful to me at this time.

@Fujidave we each deal with grief in different ways. There is no wrong or right only what works to get you through the darkest hours.

These two are from Thursday, in the next few days I will edit some from today.
The lad is Louis, and the young lady is Roxi. I am going to carry on taking photos as for me it will help me a lot.
