You can let us know here on NAM how the ride is going.

I laughed when you told us about the guy "speaking Dutch" next to you at some meeting.

Man, it is HOT here today.

burden right now since i got 2 little kids that want to play with dad...

them to give me more time. im not really dying for cash right now,
but i am dying for more time and energy.

I can sure understand that, Ken. I was a manager when we had an Underwriting department here. When underwriting went away, I went to the professional/technical job of Claim Rep. Lucky for me, I didn't have to take a pay cut. But not having all that responsibility, not having to work long hours and weekends for no extra pay... I don't miss it.

You're still young (right??). Plenty of time for advancement after your kids are older, or even grown and out of the house. Good decision on your part, IMO.

I lived in Japan four years and didn't learn ANY of those words.

nice! sounds like you got a good deal on the new responsibility without
any cuts.

things in steps right now. work can wait, kids can't.

sounds like a kid that ate his mom's cake and tells mom, i didn't eat
the cake that was on the lower shelf of the fridge covered in a plastic
clear box with a red and white label that said strawberry short cake
on it....?

changing gears... i cleaned the intake/exhaust filters on the Dyson the other
day. tornado filter(?) on the top of the crap canister was pretty dirty.

the exhaust filter on the ball (mine's the Ball) wasn't dirty at all.

but the vacuum sounds livelier and seems to suck more... i thought
Dysons you dont look suction...

I have a theory that kenchan would do something similar (maybe to the local weatherman) if it rained on his MCS.

And I have a theory that he's not the only one around here that would react that way.

yikes.

Let it cool off COMPLETELY and then chip it off with your fingernails ??

I don't recommend using your PC on that job.

Keep a layer of aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven!

No ML is right - a layer of aluminum foil would completely hide the burnt cheese.
