Lostgal, I'm cracking up here.
I have really big nuts, er, and bolts.
BTW, I have had my eye on the robotic components that come through at work. I am a gear head, and could make some really fun stuff if I had the time. A robotic screw sorting wort stirring floor sweeping efficiency instructing gizmo just might be how I make my first million $$$.

GGB, I have to agree with you, I do deserve the bonus. I sold $6000 worth of gear last week, and fixed listings done by others as well. I am busting my hump because I absolutely do not want to fill this specific job description for very long. I am pleased to see many of my ideas being implemented. The new retail store is now accepting ebay consignments, and they are going to rent the big billboard next to the retail location to advertise, (both my ideas ) I am carefully crafting my next job description, and will sell it within the next month. There is not currently anyone on staff who actually reviews every listing. I have done it on my spare time since a week before I started. I have pointed out major mistakes to the manager, but he is rather laissez faire, and all of the listers know it. I am starting an idea journal, and will try to fully develop them before giving them away.

W called me back this evening. She said it was SIL she was talking to earlier, and that she didn't answer the beep because she didn't want me to miss my Yoga class. (good answer) She didn't need my help at all, since the people moved in early. (but she was still working at 10:00) I am sure they have a full time cleaner anyway. (oh to be rich... NOT!) We had a nice conversation, and talked for 20 minutes or so. (I miss her, and she is slowly starting to reappear)

On my way home from Yoga today, I drove through the village, and saw a friend of my Bro's from high school, sweeping up grass clippings. I stopped and we chatted for a while. I told him what was up in my life, and he was blown away. He said he NEVER would have expected that from W. He was the first friend to really understand my desire to save the M.(Perhaps because he is one of the very few single friends I have, and notoriously so) Some of my other friends say they understand, and some think I am crazy to try. I am willing to try, but I don't know how far I can go without some major commitment soon. I need a letter of NC, and I would love to have it as a B-DAY present! It would be even better to get it for an in between day present. (My bday 6-9, w's, 6-11, thus, in between day, 6-10) I proposed that in-between day be our wedding day, but it was not possible.

I am still not counting any chickens from these eggs, and there is a good chance they will all be scrambled.
