Reasons to be cheerful!

I survived 200 layoffs at my company.

I survived 200 layoffs at my company.

Wow!!! Does that mean you now have to do the work of 200 people? Or will it only feel like that?

Phew!   
How many in the company?

200?  Wow.

I survived a couple layoffs in the last ten years, certainly nothing close to the size of yours (200 people), but it's a strange process to endure.
I mean on one hand you feel relieved to realize you were able to retain your position, but on the other you feel so bad for your former co-workers.

Mix bag of feelings indeed.

I do need to ask, were they all lawyers like yourself?

Wow! I hope your bosses realize that productivity for those remaining will probably take a nose-dive for quite some time to come.

Well, the surgeon has decided to put me forward for treatment for the early-cataract situation in my eyes - right eye first. He would rather wait fir a while before seriously thinking about the "crinkling" over the macula, treatable but more serious surgery involving greater risks.

I am happy with my reaction speed, hand-eye coodination, spacial/time/velocity awareness, proprioception, hearing, situation anslysis etc - it is just my eye sight that takes the sharp edge off my driving confidence. Even a small improvement in clarity, if achieved, will go a fair way.

At the moment I still just pass the eyesight guidlines for driving in the eye test.

Going to Tromsø tomorrow to see Gabriel Iglesias. Pretty excited about that.

Now I'm ready for the eclipse in August! My husband got me a small solar telescope for my birthday!

Thousands.  But they were looking at only certain sectors.

Got a new impact gun today. It is awesome. We've had a disc harrow that sat for years with two bad wheels. Tried remoting the lugs with a breaker bar some time ago with no luck. Just headed over and popped them off in about half a second each.

So in addition the the impact you could say we got a new to us disc harrow out of the deal!

Is it air compressed?

Cordless electric. Big, bad, Milwaukee. I've wanted one for a long time but the price was finally right. It's a bit on the heavy side and won't fit in tight places but one the farm, I think she'll be the new queen. Need a name though.... something dainty perhaps...
