That's just how I feel, Epic. Plus, I'm girding my loins for the next two weeks at work, where I know I'm going to be putting in 50 hour weeks and Saturdays, to boot. We finally got a new temp, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the fact we do most of our business in the summer, so April is when the big push to up the stocking levels occurs. Ugh. At least the "we must finalize the budget" hiring freeze is over, so I'm hoping to get at least one more assembler and a test tech hired before the F2F in May.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

I don't have the day off. sigh.
My great uncle died yesterday. I didn't know him very well but my Dad is really upset. I remember when I was a kid, he gave me a metal bank that was like a cash register and he had put $10 worth of coins in it. I thought that was just the shit. Anyway, here's his obit (he was quite a cutie in his day): [link]

{{Gloomcookie and family}} I'm so sorry. What a lovely obituary, GC. He really was a cutie!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Peace to you and your Dad, GC.

What is even happening?
Gloomcookie, I'm so sorry for your loss. Peace to your whole family, your dad in particular.
Your great uncle looks a lot like the photos of my dad did in his Navy days.

Thanks for the good wishes. And Sparky that was totally the bank! Mine was black instead of red. Good times.

I gave a couple of those banks as xmas presents to a friend's kids because I had such a good memory of it -- my husband thought I was crazy, but the kids loved 'em and their mother has now given it as a gift herself.

It is funny that it is such a hit with the kids. I know I loved it, too.
