The boy and I went out to my brother's yesterday and toured the baby calves. That was fun. He's got 550 cows that all need to get their babies on the ground in the next few weeks.
Did you get fooled yesterday?
Nothing much else going on here. Off we go into a new week ...
Morning all. Well, here we are 1/4 through the year already. And I am not a billionaire. Friday's Mega Millions drawing was no friend to me. $20 netted me $2. Oh well, back to crunching numbers and completing returns. Time to complete the remaining OH returns by hand. Which also means it is time to get several numbers stuck in my head and a tired hand.
That is a lot of baby moos Web.
Moo on.

I've started ScriptFrenzy, which is just like NaNoWriMo, except with scripts instead of Novels. I'm turning Helpless into a screenplay. So far, this seems so much easier than NaNo.
My DSL keeps going off this morning. In the hour I've been here, it's gone off 5 times. Each time, it's off for about 5 minutes before it comes back. I called the phone company and got a recorded message that they are aware of the problem and are working on it.
I would just go back home and work from there (unless the DSL is having a problem there too) but Mrs Web has the day off for her extra hours with the recent open house. She doesn't want me there when she has a day off so hopefully they will get it fixed soon.
Oh, make that 6 times now. I checked my "internet" light on the modem and it's off again as I was writing this. Now I gotta wait for it to come back again so I can post.
I was having that problem with my AT&T DSL. They would claim it was fixed, it would work okay for the rest of the day, then start happening again. Eventually I fixed it by switching to cable.
My wife just called. I mentioned she was supposed to have the day off. She just got a call from her boss that he and the #2 man at this bank branch quit. Now she has to go in to work to talk to a guy who is coming in from another city to help pick up the pieces. She is not surprised the boss quit, he's not been happy. But now she's really worried that a lot of crap is going to fall on her while this gets sorted out. She's talking about quitting too.
Remind Mrs. Web to make a list of her added rsponsibilities and all the extra support she will provide in the coming weeks/months. And the then when things settle down, ask for a raise or a promotion (with a raise of course).

She has never been really happy at this job. This bank just isn't focused on investments which is what she likes to work with the most. They are heavy on being loan based. She literally HATES two of her coworkers. She was hoping that this move to the new building would get her away from them enough that she could avoid them and get along.
This is part of the stress between us right now. I've been understanding that she liked the freedom I have with being self employed that I can work around the boy's schedule. She could have her job and not have to be that mom that always has to deal with the sick kids, take off for every little event, etc. When she still actually liked her job a few years ago, I really do believe that was the case. Now, she hates her job, but she feels stuck because her job provides the health insurance, and more stable income. Now, it's all my fault that she feels she can't just quit and that she "has" to work.
I do know that she is not the "stay at home mom" type. She needs outside stimulation and interactions. If I were to get a "real" job now, I know it wouldn't be long and she will not be happy again being the "domestic housewife" and it would be my fault again for not having a job where I had that flexibility to take care of things I used to do.

GO JAYHAWKS!
