Omnibus Collection Of Words

Friends,
It had to happen at some point. I’m burnt out. The road-tripping back and forth between the two counties, the four work sites, two houses, lordy! I can hardly know where to be or where I am. It’s time to settle down and pick a spot, I should think.

If only I could.

But I can’t—or shouldn’t. It depends on who you ask, of course. The folks in San Diego, especially at the clinic, could really use my help on a daily basis. Staff in Riverside County are relying on me wholly to solve their computer problems. How would you answer those competing claims on time? How should I?

Aw crap!

How about this, to change the subject, I’ve had the giant and very dead oak tree in my front yard cut down today. Very loud, very dangerous, and very fast turnaround from Mountain Fire Abatement and Tree Service (or whatever they’re calling themselves nowadays, there was a different name on the bill). Not too professional, but who cares? They did a nice job and got rid of a great big and looming headache. I’d hate for a branch to break and fall on my parent’s new car over the Thanksgiving weekend.

(er, um, new car? your parents? wha? -ed Yes, it’s true. A Pontiac Torrent, actually. GM says that CUV stands for Compact Utility Vehicle, but they’re still mighty CUTE, don’t you think? – bob gm? aren’t they the number two carmaker after toyota that i’ve heard something about recently? – ed Not so fast, Slappy. They’re still number one in these parts. Not dead, just sleeping. Besides, Torrent gets new sisters beyond Chevy and Saturn from Saab {boo hoo} and Cadillac pretty soon so the Cute Utility Vehicle can’t be a bad thing. Right? – bob)

Oh! I’ve gone too long. More tomorrow (really!).

Your pal,

bob
