Sitting here on my fourth 15 odd hour shift in a row watching progress bars and dealing with servers that don't freaking work and manufacturers that are pointing fingers at eachother to avoid blame... *sigh* Why didn't I take up gardening =(
I'm at work all weekend. That's life in retail. Luckily my travel time today was a whopping 3 minutes.
You should be able to transition into gardening fairly easy as this also requires patching experience.
Went to meet with Adam / adam78 while he's in town. Man, traffic was a bumper to bumper crawl headed down the shore! Then Windy & I got to enjoy a night at the ballpark. Of course, this means junk food galore! Windy's favorite is crab fries.
I are an engineer. Strangely however all my shifts are 12 hour ones. I cover a manufacturing line making semiconductor devices. The work is on weekends as well. Three days on, three days off. Four days on, four days off. There have been times in my career where I've worked six 12 hour days a week. I'd tell you to cheer up things could be worse but they'd likely get worse.
