6. Well, what happened to it?
These are the months that I really like my 4 to midnight schedule. Getting into an ice-cold car in the middle of winter, not so much.

2. Taking time off work....
There is no such thing as taking too much time off work. Unfortunately, the damn company disagrees. ;) :hi:

7. If you get time off, don't they let you take it?
I really didn't have that many days and was trying to pick up OT as much as possible, but then again, I don't go into work until 4. :-)

19. Yes, I get to take it off until the days run out.
Happily, I get more vacation days next month, and I still have some time coming. It's just that one can never have enough days to take off. :bounce:

Did you just not go anywhere or did you not have any time off work?

25. Oh, didn't mean that... sorry.
I have the summer off. We just haven't travelled anywhere. Various reasons. But I would love to go to the beach....

4. enjoying my yard, but with a dog in the yard, I really couldn't
plant anything because he has a bad stompinator habit in my flower beds. He won't be here forever. Oh yes, didn't finish stripping the wallpaper off my bedroom yet.

11. I made a very bad decisions at the beginning of the summer. one I'll kick myself for years about.
But this is the life I'm living, not the one I'm expecting, so I've got to learn from it and move on.

16. I haven't gotten my life in order.
:( I'll be graduating this spring, with a virtually useless major (anthropology - love it, but not exactly practical in today's working world, y'know) and no clue what I want to do with my life. :scared: :(

1) read "Gravity's Rainbow" or "Ulysses" with comprehension 2) gotten into shape (unless you consider amorphous blob a shape) 3) impeached George W. Bush 4) written a string quartet 5) raised viable tomato plants 6) achieved enlightment 7) learned how to solo over Coltrane's "Countdown" 8) started Jungian analysis 9) kicked cigarettes for good 10) transformed myself into the all knowing, all powerful master of space and time

22. I haven't gone to outdoor summer attractions
Like theme parks or even the zoo. I have dones little outdoor swimming. I have done little bike riding. We haven't used our canoe this year. I didn't go to outdoor concerts this year. We mostly stayed home, which we can easily do when it is cold and snowy.
