Now if I get the job I need to convince my wife the 20 grand a year pay cut is a good thing lol

After a discussion with my wife this evening I actually wonder if she has a clue as to what I do for a living.... but she sure knows how much I make

Oh she knows that's why I need to do the convincing.

I'm quitting coffee today, and cigarettes at the end of this pack.

I am glad I am not living near you....

 

[granfire]

@granfire do you guys even have heat that far south. Stay warm

We build a campfire in the middle of the living room.
(seriously, forced heat sucks. The second the fan stops blowing, the house get's chilly...planing on putting in a wood burning stove - some time...)

I was looking at a job that was $5000/yr. pay cut and I got her to think it was a good idea because it was much closer to our house so I could save on gas plus more time at home to do work there because it was considerably less travel time, the parking was free so I could save money on parking and since it was closer to our house I could go home for lunch and save money on my having to buy lunch so much.....but alas I stayed in my current job.

Look for any type of saving, safety advantage, job benefits, or time benefits to offset the loss of $

Already started my list. Thankfully she's not happy with things at my job right now either so if they hurry I should be good

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet!

 

[Elbowgrease]

Would that not be the high then?
Schools here will start 2 hours later tomorrow, because the temps are expected to hit the single digits....briefly, I expect...

 

[Xue Sheng]

We are actually warmer than expected at 17F.... but it is supposed to be heading down from here and by the time I head home it is supposed to be 0F and then below zero by morning. The pushed the -35F with wind-chill off to tomorrow and changed it to -40F with wind-chill

 

[ballen0351]

23 here right now. actually doesnt feel that cold out

 

[Xue Sheng]

Heading out to get food..... per weather people it is now 4F with the wind-chill... and it is now snowing

Later

 

[Dirty Dog]

It's really cold here too. The thermostat is on the ground floor, and my office is in the basement. It's only like 66 or 68 down here!

Good thing there's a fireplace in the office. I'll light a fire (ok, it's just flipping a switch) before I freeze.

 

[Xue Sheng]

I'm back in from the cold...only to have to go out again...but much further this time...the temp is now 2 with wind-chill...I'm thinking maybe it can wait until Friday

Grrrrrrrrrr guess I'm going car shopping tomorrow.

 

[Elbowgrease]

That doesn't sound like fun shopping...
I think my mom's about to have to do the same thing. Had someone house sitting for the holidays, with a long story about how the car got wrecked.
