Plumbing...it is what it is.

As for the break in attempt, that is terrible news. Nobody needs to feel violated. Consider a monitored alarm system combined with a large dog. Most intruders will not enter a home when this is a large dog cruising around inside.

Hey all, I was in an accident a few days ago. I (pedestrian) was hit by a bicyclist on Friday. I am still tore up pretty bad and it hurts to type. Should be back in a few days or so.

[MustangGT02]

Chris

Apparently wild cyclists CAN keep you away.

XD

Don’t worry. We’ll survive. Take your time and feel better man.

[InfernosCaress]

You know, I heard something very similar from a friend of mine last January. 'Small accident.' 'Hurts a bit.' 'Talk to you soon.' She died.

It was nice knowing you, man.

[Liltroll]

Like they said. Take your time to patch yourself back up.

[Kosh]

Hey bud, sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon!

[Sabre]

I sincerely hope you are feeling better man.

On the other hand, this should also serve as a lesson to you that in the future, you should turn, draw and fire from the hip in one smooth motion, pop the bastard right out of the saddle.

As a cleaner, less gun crazy alternative, you should have used 'The Force' to lever against the weak minded fool stating....."This is not the accident you are looking for....."

[Cobalt]

Hey all.

Sorry for my long absence an sporadic sightings. It has been a rough few weeks for me, some pain filled weeks that drove me pretty near to the brink. I am recovering and I am enjoying some pain free days that I hope to extend into pain free weeks.

I will begin posting again, probably within the next day or two.

Again, sorry for the delays.

[Gerhard]

Not a problem man. Take all the time you need.

And if you're still in pain, maybe our brothers in the north can send you some of the good painkillers ;P

[InfernosCaress]

You worry about you, not us. We're fine.

Status: Stressed & Anxious
Cause: Brother's Divorce
Symptoms: Inability to really focus on anything after spending the afternoon helping him cope and trying to keep his kids otherwise occupied.


So let me just say sorry I have not been around. I am trying and I end up just staring at the screen. I am not gone. Just... troubled.

[Gerhard]

We understand. Take care of yourself first (well... after your brother and his kids )

We’ll be here for you.

[Sabre]

Wow, I just caught this post. Sorry to hear about the trouble. Not good news at all and as you are not directly involved, I can empathize with your sense of helpleness for beign sort of on the sidelines and whatever will be, plays out...

Be strong brother. We love you.

[Kosh]

Like the guys are saying Cobalt, take care of your family first and foremost.

Fight the good fight!

UPDATE
Status: Stressed & Anxious & Angry
Cause: Lost job on Friday
Symptoms: More of the same only worse

It's a long story. I did nothing wrong. My employer wanted to keep me. My temp agency pulled the contract. It's shitty.

[Sabre]

That does sound shitty. And the company can't hire you directly?

[Gerhard]

Damn. You're not having a good couple of weeks man. It has to get better though.

I'm with Sabre. Maybe talk to the employer directly?

[Cobalt]

I am going there tomorrow to pick up my personal things. I will speak to the Nat. Sales Mgr and my Supervisor then.

[InfernosCaress]

How long were you working there? I know from working at a temp agency that it if you were not working at that business for the better part of a year, then the company would not be allowed to hire you within six months of your leaving unless the company paid the temp agency a finder's fee equal to a year's worth of their percentage of your pay.

[Cobalt]

I was there 4 years.

[InfernosCaress]

Then there should not be a problem as far as contracts go.

[Sabre]

Are you still with that agency. They'll contract you out again, or does the problem exist with the agency. They can be a paid, they're already earning a premium on your work.

[Cobalt]

I am technically still with the agency. I also signed up with a new agency today.

[Cobalt]

New job is settled. Lots of time to sit around and NOT post because there is no internet access. Could be worse. My mother-in-law was in town so my free time was very limited. Things should be slowly getting back to normal and I want to start posting again.

FYI - I had a job interview yesterday. It is for a better position. More money. Better benefits. I feel like it was a good interview. I should know Thursday whether or not I get the job.
