haha I hope so but they have just left after I discovered the truth and sent them a letter requesting an appropiate resolution! I haven't heard anything for nearly two months and now it's just a matter of deciding which step to take next!

I'm going to the County Fair tonight!

Fun, food, rides and the carneys, food, 4-H exhibits, food, animals, food, people, and did I say food?

I'll post again after I get back, if I can reach the keyboard over my stomach :roll:

hmm blank post....oh well <edit>

I always get one of those sausages with peppers and onions at the fair. I just can't pass them up but it usually ends in regret later :disgust:

I used hickory chunks the last time, and they turned out like This. :)

I've been working 60 hour weeks for the last three months yet getting the same salary. My employer is doing more business, with more production and more profit than ever. I'm getting tired.

What's up with you? :)

I'm short the market :), but trying to work outside the past couple days has just about put me down for the count.

Wow Dawg I dont envy you lol

So what kinda craziness are you being put through?

Oh wait that starts soon ;)

Them Chickens look mighty tasty :p Slurp :p

I miss good ole mesquite cooking, the stuff in the bag isn't the same:(

I miss the fall slaughter and the fresh bacon and sausages, and especially the tenderloin. *SIGH*

I am too civilized now,

No swinging from a rope hung under a bridge and splashing down in the river barefoot.

Hell its been a few years since I have seen a gravel road even.

no hunting no fishing, no fresh squirrel, or deer meat ...

A DAMN root costs 6.99 a bag at the grocery store (potatoes 20 lbs),

It seems the more it costs now the worse it looks too.

Sounds like its time to go camping :p

Well lets see, I haven't slept much in the past 2 weeks and it'll be two weeks at least before it happens again.(1-3 hours a night)

I handed my disseration to my committee on monday, defend next thursday, and corrections are due by the 18th. Ahhhhh, the joy of a PhD.

For any who have experienced it...is it me or is this whole process simply the most accepted and expected example of hazing anywhere?

Also, if anyone wants some idea of what I am going through look for the Piled High and Deeper (PhD) comic. It scary how true it really is.
