I am sitting here stressed beyond belief with the work load of customers wanting everything yesterday. I am thinking of flying the coop for the day. I am just trying to think of want to do.
Think I am going for a long bike ride and a hugh ice cream cone.
What would you do if you would fly the coop right now?

In my boat, down the lake for some R&R...if it would warm up and stop raining! MUR

I'd be in Edmonton with a certain Letterhead, and we wouldn't be discussing Hellvetica at all. Love...Jill PS Have a good day!

Jill, you're bad!

Either in my warm kitchen baking something sinful like cheesecake or cookies, sitting in a scenic spot watercoloring or in my basement quilting. aaahhhhh!! I feel better just talking about it! Although Jill's idea of not discussing Helvetica sound pretty good too.... (You ARE bad Jill, but I love it!)

It's damp and overcast here so I probably wouldn't go for a long walk at the dam. Probably grab the cue stick and find a pool table somewhere.

To the beach!!!... oh wait... I just came from the beach... well... to the beach, again!!
I live right along a beautiful lake with mountains and palm trees in the scenery (yeah, in the middle of the desert) and I usually start every day with a visit to the water and when I finish up my day I pack up the dog in the truck and head to the beach again. Sometimes when I'm running around town during the day I'll make another stop at the water. There's just something real calming and soothing about being on the beach - don't even have to get in the water, just being by it is enough.

I'd do what I do everyday, tee off for 18 holes at 5:00.\
And Chris I have a pool table here in the shop. Cue stick is on the table waiting to hustle somebody.

Go fishing, even if the fish aren't biting. How about a Letterhead fishing derby!

LOL Dan, you had to delete what you'd do?!??!? . . . .
I goofed-off yesterday . . . (and portions of Monday and Tuesday as well ) . . .yesterday, I hung out at my buddies house where they're clear cuttin' trees. We had a nice long lunch, then went back over and sat around in a cool, breezy shade with all the loggers and swapped jokes and stories and watched the kids romp on 4-wheelers.
Goofin'-off, hangin-out and lolly-gaggin' is the best way I know to get your priorities lined up in a significant "do-it-now-dead-line-is-due" order. Posted by Dusty Campbell (Member # 4601) on :

I'd Be Loading up the Car, Grabbing the Hippie For a weekend Mini Jam at Mike Meyers Shop. Sort of a PreMuster Kinda Panel Jam, I would have to let him know that it would be happening first. Spiderman is still there. So I'd be all set...
Won't it be great when all we have to do is Teleport to the Meet's.

Whacking the snot out of my drums...it's a great way to vent and all I gotta do is go into the office.
Saves gas... Rapid

when I start complaining about all the work,and crazed customers that gotta have it NOW! ,my wife Judy says " Quit your grumbling, you could be working in a factory" that usually brings me into focus to realize how blessed we are to do what we do. Last Mon. a customer had to cancel, so we hopped into the truck to the beach and had a weeks vacation in just one day. And today's job is outside in the rain so here I am talking to you. The work will or willnot get done latter on today If the customer doesn't understand the that rain is wet, that's his problem , not mine. After all these years , I've learned to take advantage of the unexpected oportunities. Gotta go make some phone calls to some "heads" Posted by William DeBekker (Member # 3848) on :
Thanks Alan You just put my day in perspective. One of those days.

Maybe you should buy some brushes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by PKing (Member # 337) on :
I always find that getting my brushes wet with paint in order to practice my "creativety" allows me to ESCAPE,without having to remove myself from one location to another!
hope this helps
