Feb. 3rd, 2009 09:03 pmHi,
I'm still here, still alive whatever.
Blah.
You know, I think I'd be a far deeper thinker if I didn't have to work for a living. Eight hours a day of thinking about work leaves little energy and time to think about anything else when I get home. My brain is wilting because of lack of time and energy. I feel like the rat race really has stolen something from my life, even if it has bought me a house, and paid for my food and stuff for however many years.
We posted the shipping revenue numbers in January and they were historically low. They beat by thousands and thousands of dollars the previous lowest month. 2008 broke this record three times... I keep saying there's just not much further to fall, but we keep looking for that bottom. I wonder if we'll have a month when we make NO sales and ship NO product. Sheesh.
I guess I have a job. I should be happy. Even if I resent it deeply, and always want to quit.
Meanwhile, I passed two welds in TIG class tonight, after fumbling around for the first four classes on the vertical butt-weld. The two welds I passed tonight were the vertical corner weld and overhead corner weld. I didn't do them well, but I guess I did them well enough.
