I want a sunny day and a hammock. Instead I have a windy rainy day, no hammock and got asked to come in early to work.
We hired a new guy who was going to replace the woman who left. Only the new guy decided that retail wasn't for him or he was "booking gigs now" (he's a local musician) and he just doesnt want to do things he doesn't feel like doing (such as showing up on time, tucking in his short, etc). So less than 2 weeks after he was hired he gave his 2 week notice.
And has called out every shift since. Dude also said he was planning to give Nashville a try. He is 26 and from what I understand he is talented but I don't things is going to do well in a competitive place like Nashville if he only does things he wants to.
-t, I hope whatever it is gets resolved quickly, but it does sound like vertigo to me.
We had a hammock (on a stand, but Alaskan trees are Really Not Suitable for hammock supporting) as I was growing up, and I know I liked it, but I don't think I'd enjoy one now. However, I'd be willing to test that theory on a tropical beach.
If we're talking tropical beaches, I'd be very happy with a large towel spread out on the sand. No need to go to the effort of setting up a hammock.
I would also like to participate in this study. Hammock or control group, I'm not picky.
Hammocks are delightful -- any old way -- until you try to get out of them. Or until I try to get out of them, anyway.
Balance ~ma to -t. Vertigo sounds awful.
Getting out of hammocks is the hard part. But getting up from sitting down is generally hard, I find. I definitely prefer lying crosswise in a hammock without bars (Brazilian-style? Not sure about the nomenclature) to my body making a line between the trees or posts or whatever. If that is part of the experiment.
Have not fallen down again, so that's nice. I'm ignoring it and hoping it goes away, for now.
I'm a fan of this style of hammock chair. All the relaxation, none of the falling on your face trying to stand up again.
I spent most of a week, hugely pregnant with Sara, reading Order of the Phoenix in one of these, in the Outer Banks: [link]
Fucking BLISS.
Someone down the street from me has a hanging bed set up on their front porch. Which seems neat until I think about linens left out in the open with rain and bugs.
If I could set up a comfortable bed on my balcony, I'd sleep there in the summer.
