I've got next week off and I've already completed every home project I planned, drank all the beer I could, listened to all the tunes I care to hear, lost all my money at the local casino, cleaned the frickin house and banged the wife. What's next? Any recommendations?

make a nice dinner for you and your wife it's a win, win.. esp if you're planning to buy any more gear in the next month or so. Ha ha ha.
Learn to cook better. or grill something on the barbie you've never ever would have attempted to grill.
Dig a pit in your back yard and roast a pig ;) your neighbors will be pissed.. but once they taste the roasted pig.. you'll be the hit of the block :)
Go shopping for new gear.

OR ya have a whole week -- go see some live music -- hopefully one of the artists you like to listen to -- be it classical - rock - or blues -- even if it's a little drive --- enjoy your time !!!!!

where do you live though? here, i'll be shoveling snow this weekend.. but if you live in a warm place.. go for a bike ride.. it's something that can't be beat. for breathing in some fresh air into your lungs.
Exploring your own city on a bike is kick ass fun. If you don't have a bike, rent one. or buy one.. they are great heart pumping machines. :)
go check out your local vinyl shops
go volunteer at the local pet shelter. who doesn't love dogs?

Minnesota, I'm thinking Thursday looks like it may be 43 degrees so I'll head north to Danbury, Wisconsin and go ATVing in St. Crois State forest. Might be a little chilly but I am from Minnesota and we are tough.:D

GA or FL?

FL. I went from doing pretty good (I have my own business) to can I pay my phone bill, and eat. I so can't wait to get out of here. The only job I found in IT wanted to pay me $8hr. I almost sprayed the guy laughing when he said that. WalMart pays that to stock shelves:mad: I'm going to have to get rid of an amp just to eat:(
Edit
A check finally cleared. I'm going to Denny's!

Drive around to as many Polkies homes as possible and take pictures of them from the bushes.

Not good advice here. Open container in public is very bad. We have a saying here in Broward. Come here on vacation, leave on probation, come back on violation, incarceration. They make more money on jail systems then they do on vacationers.

Enjoy the time away from phones, faxes, aggravating coworkers & lament that I only had 1 week off!
I don't do 1 week vacations anymore, I have to do 2 weeks. It takes most of the first week to truly relax, then the 2nd week is absolute bliss!

I would get a lot more done around the house than what I can do in a weekends time. I've been replacing the base moulding in the entire house. So far the living room, entry way and 1.5 bedrooms (out of 4), 1 bathroom (out of 2) and a small part of the kitchen are done. A long way to go....

What would I do with a week off?
I'd do two chicks at one time. Yeah, that's what I'd do.
Or maybe follow doro around and take pictures of him taking pictures from the bushes. But I don't know why he needs a week off to do that. He does it every Friday night, like clockwork!

The next two weeks I am home :(, work is slow but I have 4 projects in the works but they don't start until the 15th of April. So I will be watching a lot of TV ;)
I started last night with 4 episodes of the Tudors on Shotime onDemand. That show is crazy and there's lots of nudity shots which I love, LOL

Damn straight. I already took pictures of Ben and sold them on Ebay for $4 - but it now, but the buyer disappeared. :D
Question Ben: Do you mean to say that the job prospects in GA are better than down here?

I took the first week of March off and went to Thailand, so I recommend that. That was definitely a nice escape from winter.

...I wouldn't know what to do with a week off right now. I am banking my time for when I buy a house again...
Polkitup2
03-31-2008, 05:02 PM
I wish I could bank it, but we can only accumulate 6 weeks. So use it or lose it. I'm experimenting with some different types of beer. Just finished a new Belgium Fat Tire. Good stuff. :)
markmarc
03-31-2008, 06:22 PM
Fat Tire is my personal favorite!

Yes, and I could actually afford to live up there after little while of getting established. Cheap advertising, and you actually get work from your adds there. Here sucks so bad in the computer biz. To work for somebody is ridiculous. Unless you know somebody to get you in the door you are basically screwed. I had so many resumes out it was pathetic. You saw $107,500 house in Ga right. You couldn't buy a shed on a $hithole in crackdown for that down here. 4 bed 3 bath, affordable taxes, and insurance. Screw broward county dude. Burn it down, and start over. I miss the beaches, the weather, and the multitude of hot chicks. I was floored by how many hot chicks are actually down here when I first got here. Amazing, but I have kids to watch for, not boobs:D

I agree that it is a much cheaper cost of living in GA, but will be harder to find a decent paying job. My wife has a plce in Ohio, we would be there for the cheaper living, if it was not that I could not find a job that pays close to the one I have here.
And no hot chicks...:)
