I don’t want to jinx it, but I have the potential to retire in five and a half years. I hope to do so by November of 2013, just before Christmas. And this trip to St. George, Utah for flyball, I found myself talking to my friend about retirement quite a bit. We didn’t end [...]

LOL I posted that blog subject on my other blog, Tip Tail, about Tatum.. and I make myself laugh so I had to post it over here, too. But it’s true. Dang… so this past weekend I had no dog sports, but goodness… since it was my first weekend in five weeks, not doing dog [...]

Well this morning I gave a training class at work. I have to admit, it makes me feel responsible. Like I’m getting something done. And I will admit, too, that I’m rather proud of myself. There were ten people in the class, and I was only a little nervous. A couple of years ago, and [...]

That’s me. Number One Idiot. I won’t even say what I did, but I woke up at 2am with awful back pain, the dogs were stress panting in my face and on my head, and it took me about a half hour to figure out what was going on. My pager had gone off, and [...]

Okay I think I’m catching up on sleep now. Man… these big weekends really take a lot out of me. I was hoping to take the boys jogging today, take my lunch when I work from home and do so, but I was just too dead tired. But sitting around for the last couple of [...]

Is it Friday yet? No? Oh man… it really should be. This week has been a holiday week and so I’m all messed up. Though yesterday, Wednesday, I was lucky enough to take the boys jogging, take a bath, then take a nap (it’s strange using the word ‘take’ for all those activities). And get [...]

Woo hoo Friday is here. I love Friday’s. I’m wearing blue jeans today.. I know I know, I shouldn’t, but usually I wear black jeans and mine were downstairs in huge clean clothes pile and so I threw on the blue jeans instead. I think it’s going to snow this weekend. Again. And be cold. [...]

I won’t tell you where I work but you might already know. I may have posted it in the past. Believe me, I don’t get paid as much as I could elsewhere… but I do get a pension, so that is nice. I work in the Technical area which is separate from the rest of [...]

So my friend at work yesterday was asking me some questions he thought would trip me up. But you see, I know myself pretty well and I know what I want out of life. I am 40 years old now and I can, potentially, retire in 6 years. I’ll have 25 years in with the [...]

MY CRAP! I am trying to get a Full Outer Join SQL query going for work so I can get all the data from both tables whether they match or not. And, there is so much data I need to limit the output so I can actually look at it logically with my tiny little [...]
