I have that kind of weird rule where I hate pets and kids unless they're someone cool's. Then I love them to pieces. Sometimes literally, which has caused me no small amount of problems in the past...
This River person reminds me of my accountant right around tax time

Hey speaking about Paris did you happen to hear P.E.'s latest release?
Paris did the production on it.
You know lately I was diggin the new roots and common and also LB but I now owe you a great deal of grattitude for introducing me to Black moon and Ditc crew. I was thirsty for some new old stuff so Thank Ya!
But it is easy to entertain the little ones sometimes.
Yep, that's right, I'm back and finally getting back to your post. Also, I had to think on it a bit too.
A bit of background. I'm not a programmer, but a network admin - specifically I do desktop support for the end users about 75% of the time. Been doing this for....umm.....11 years now, and I actually do like the job.
Specifically, I found that I like working with the end users and resolving issues. I think the thing that I've learned to hate is managers and upper management who treat me disrespectfully and as though I am a disposable asset that's actually very easy to replace. Sure, someone with 2 years of experience that is doing desktop support is easy to replace. But, to find someone who actually likes the job and has the level of experience I do is not so easy to find.
So, in typing this out I realized that part of the problem I'm dealing with is that I am a very experienced person in a field that is perceived as disposable......which therefore must mean (at least to these people) that I'm disposable as well.
Why do I keep getting jobs in this field? Well, I'm damned good at it, and I work extremely well with people. And I haven't got a damned clue about what else I would do.
Why do I stay at this particular job? Well, I know that anyplace I go will have just another set of issues in a different environment. Sure, it'll give me a few years of breathing space and sanity, but eventually it'll come back to being a problem. That, and I rank job hunting only slightly below divorcing K on my list of things to never ever do (and K's at the top).
Just wanted to stop by and say Hey...Hey
I've checked out a couple songs you've posted, thanks to Sophie. Just had to give you "props". My nephew produces his own music, mostly drum and bass, some jungle and house. I have drum and bass in my blood...I used to produce back in the day...before the digital days. You know...back when all we had was a 4 track in the bed room hooked up to the drum machine, keyboard and turn tables. Oh those were the days. I really want to get back into it now that I'm starting to settle down a little with my "Married with kids" life. Now I'm mostly into Ambient Psy, Trip Hop...I really like Kruder and Dorfmiester. I just got Tosca, "Suzuki Dub". I think that's my new favorite right now. Bad Ass!!! Any suggestions for anything else like that?
Anyway...didn't mean to get long winded.
Oh ya...Thanks for keeping Sophie happy. You guys seem great together. That's awesome!!!
My own insecurities. My senior year of high school came up, and it was time to apply to college. I chickened out. I didn't even apply anywhere. I just froze. I told everybody that it was because fashion design wasn't "helping society" or some crap like that. Then I did mad drugs for a year and a half.
You gave me alot to check out. But believe me...I will be checking it out! I'll get in touch with my nephew, (he's kinda interverted and keeps to himself, even at family funtions) and see if I can get any more of his stuff. I still don't know how to post it though. I think I need to kick it with you a little longer. You seem to have it goin' on!!! By the way... have I told you yet, YOU THE MAN!!! .......If we were in person I'd have to bow down!!! You and Sophie are FREAKIN AWESOME!!! I think the short time we've been on this site, Chalka and I think you guys are the coolest. In this virtual world kinda way. Even though we don't REALLY know you, I'm sure you're just as cool in hte real world. You guys seem pretty laid back, that's what's cool. And I think I've mentioned this to Sophie, but I'll tell you too...If you ever make it back to Cali, You have a free dinner and some drinks waiting if you want to stop by and hang out for awhile. I know... not very realistic...but the offer still stands!!
Thanks again for your responce, it means alot!!! I'll be getting back to you.
thanks for the birthday wishes, man. actually, i spent it on a 24 hour surveillence mission. on the one damn day that it rains in the desert. it was ridiculous...
Patience is indeed a virtue..but not so much for those who don't have the ultimate responsibility for the younglingss..how you been? I am busy taking my ease in Montreal, Kendoing 3 times a week and trying to plan my retirement...
yeah - nice feeling, esp as I really believe it.
fever right now. meh.
