Things in this world that SUCK!

CTMike

In my former life I was a regional manager for a Fortune 500 company and my territory was Bangor to Buffalo and everything in between. My boss was in Marietta, and I had a dedicated office in the house. 

While it was nice to work from home for the most part, I did get irritated when the wife would get home from work and complain that I didn’t get enough laundry done.

If any discontent around my job creeps in, I just remember pulling tobacco in my youth. Miserable, nasty sun up to sundown work. 
 In back woods Virginia where I’m from it’s referred to as “pulln bacca”.

I work from home but not at home as I am out most of the day on sales calls, etc. 

I love it! I'm a 1099 so I start/stop when I want.

No morning/evening traffic hassles if I plan my day right.

Take the dog for a long walk, no problem.

Laundry, no problem.

My wife travels every week so I don't mind keeping up with a few household chores.

I can’t do laundry (or I say I can’t) because we have peak electricity hours during the day in Ontario so it is actually more expensive to do it between 8 and 5. Of course with 4 boys we sometimes have to anyway but this is why there is always such a big pile of dirty clothes waiting in the laundry room.

I have been working from home for about 15 years now. I don’t think I could go back to the old days of commuting by car, subway, and walking.

You could always screw it up real bad....and then you would be off the hook. Guess its too late for that hugh?

Almost 12 years since I last reported to a cube. The challenges are real, but at least I don't have dogs to trip over.

I went from a job I loved that had a 3 hour round-trip commute to one I hate 2.2 miles from my house. Family life is better and I was able to go back to school, so it's a net-positive. I would love to work from home but I may just go back to floor nursing for a bit. At least I would be home 4 days per week.

Todays Suck is:

Fishin with bait

·         interrupts your drankin to bait the hook (more than once if they is a nibblin

·         take the fish off the hook if you happen to catch one.

·         Actually cast the line and risk getting it caught on something….leading to mo effort

·         When you catch them, you always run the risk of a fin stick

·         You got to clean the slimy crap out of the coolers or other holding vessels

·         You got to clean them rascals and prepare for cooking

·         If you fry them up, you got all that grease you must figure out what to do with

 

There are probably a few non suck things about it…..but that is for a different thread.

Any hot dog without ketchup on it sucks.

@Foghorn - you must be referring to the hot dog sandwich, not the true hot dog!

@Foghorn, I 100% support your statement. Just wanted to go on record.

there never seems to be enough beer in a twelve pack. ten dogs in a package and only 8 rolls per. pulling outa the iran deal, wait, that goes in the other thread

lousubcap

No wonder POTUS decided to give the Iran deal a pass-this ketchup on hot-dogs goes well with ketchup on his well-done steaks.

Sorry man. Going opposite. Any hot dog with ketchup doesn’t work for me. Mustard, relish, onions...
