My current state of mind

#1 Post by BackInTex » Fri Feb 06, 2026 11:00 am

Work issues (three, maybe four, serious payroll issues back to back to back this week), huge ERP project I have 130 tasks past due on (because of having to support payroll), uncompleted employee reviews,.....
We're in the process of getting estimates and designs for putting in a pool
My M-I-L is in her final days (knowing her, weeks) and my wife is spening 40% of her day with her
One sister in law has been staying with us for 3 weeks (see previous line)
I have an IKEA dresser we got just after new year that I thought I could put together so it is open and laid out on the floor with all the hardward on a credenza, but before I could assemble, see line 1 (this was 3 days ago and it's still in pieces)

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
~~ Thomas Jefferson

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Seriously, hope all calms down or at least some things. Yipes
Well, then

Never, never, ever, ever ask, "What else..." Some a&&hole is just waiting to show you..
When reality requires approval, control replaces truth.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. -Thomas Paine
You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. -Ayn Rand
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire

Oh yeah, and the lights in our laundry room are out (two LED lights that are supposed to last years, of which I've already replaced 12 in this house since we moved in 3 years ago). They are LED surface down lights I have to remove and replace with new ones I bought. It will be interesting as I can't quite get my left arm above 110 degrees or so yet from my shoulder replacement.
