I should move somewhere where they practice the Siesta

Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 09:17 AM by MissHoneychurch

I enjoy working in the mornings, I enjoy working late afternoon into the evening. But early afternoon ... hell!!!

Now where should I move to?

10. Of course,

The same place also practices Fiestas ... after they wake up from the Siestas. I just hope you like Mariachi music. It's sort of like Mexican Polka. :rofl:

I knew it wasn't you who gave it to harleydad. :hug: It sure wasn't me!

What's the trouble with your boiler? Have I missed a thread?

then started working again this morning. That can't be good.

I can't get a plumber until next week. Sigh.

18. I just saw the thread.

I'm sorry. :hug: It's never good when you don't know what's causing the strange behavior.

We had a power outage this morning, just as I was starting to answer my emails. Turns out that a squirrel climbed up the pole and fried himself. That blew a fuse. It only took a little while for them to get it running again.

20. squirrelcide

Wierd. I never heard of such a thing happening myself, but apparently it happens often enough for it to get an entry in the Jargon File:

14. Don't move - start your own business

That's what I did, and my schedule now is 7 AM - Noon and 4 PM - 10 or 11 PM. The four hours off during the day give me time to do personal errands, take a nap, catch a movie, etc. My evening "shift" is done from my home office, so I can make dinner for my wife and kid while I'm working.

I agree - siestas kick ass.

19. Oops...

Maybe a book store (although they're impossible to make profitable because of the big chains and Amazon).

22. My brother is part owner of a second hand book store

they make profit. But he also works Mon through Fri 10am till 8pm. Without Siesta. And that isn't the plan.

24. That's always been one of my dreams

Owning a bookstore would be a very cool (but tiring) job. Your brother must be a pretty good business man to compete with the big chains and still be profitable.

I did some consulting for a small used book store in my area that was losing money hand over fist.
