Coffee Shop Forever, It's time to kick bottom and drink coffee! Options

I've just had two paid days off of work because a database that I can't do ANYTHING without, blew up.

In other words:

It's all good.

Tarnish notte, the majesty of my gilded words!
Wherefore Black Hand speaks is for the illumination of mankind, and the continuation of prose!
When Black Hand speaks, Angels sing, and Demons weep!
Where Black Hand speaks, gardens bloom, weeds wilt, and sunshine forces clouds to part!

(yeah, pretty much, XD)

As long as they never find that "KC was here" gummy sticker in the midst of the malfunction you'll be fine! Lol, just kidding. Two days of (hopefully paid) off time is awesome, enjoy it!

Unless you're paranoid, then it's all bad.

Thanks everyone. There are many good things about my dad- the first being I got to know him for 35 years. No- it isn't long enough- but they were all good years.

Another joy is that I can still see and hear him- doing what he loved. A local TV station did a series that started out being about Cades Cove, but which grew into much more. Dad was asked to do some of the earliest episodes and then was invited back several times. The shows still air and better yet, are available on VHS and DVD. So I get a chance to see him being himself- teaching, talking, his eyes gleaming with pleasure as he explains how the mountains and the coves were formed.

Yes- I still miss the chance to sit with him and have one of our free-roaming conversations that was almost like an episode of Connections- where you end up wondering how a postage stamp is related to Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion plant... but...

I still can and do talk to him. And sometimes- in my dreams- he answers. There are no "unresolved issues" between us, just conversations we have yet to finish.

Very touching sentiments, Treydoggie. I wish I had vids of my mom to hear her voice, see her in something other than a still picture. I have been digging around trying to find my old answering machine tapes to see if any have her voice on it, so far no luck.

That's proper epic right there, that is...Fair dues, amazing man...A trait he seems to have passed on well enough... ...

Imp, these kind of posts go over in the "Everything" thread. The Coffee Shop is where we post important things we are dealing with (example Trey talking about the loss of his father) - it is for members to scan and find out the meat of what is going on with the members. Conversations and fun stuff like the above should be posted in the Everything thread.

I'm sorry,I kinda get confused and both threads meld together.

No apology needed, you're fairly new here and didn't know. Just giving you a heads-up.

That´s a very nice story, treydog I´m so glad to know you had the same fine relationship with your dad as I have with my dad. The fact you lost him way too early is the only thing bringing it down, but you do a good job keeping his memory alive.

Don´t you ever stop doing that

It looks like everyone is nice. But my first shift is as a cashier :/ everyone there is register trained in case they want more hours.

Good to hear it. I hope you end up enjoying it. If you are in an environment with good people, even a challenging job can be pretty enjoyable.
