BrentR and lcfviking - "RUN AWAY, RUN AWAAAAAAYYYYYYY"
God I love Monty Python!

i've been on the board for quite a while now and was wondering, what do my fellow jwdr's do for work, employment or career?
me, i'm in probably one of the most hated careers in america right now.
(not gonna tell you what it is either) but how about you, what do you do to earn a little coin?.

i am starting to think about the joyous season already - i know, i know, i am way too early.
it is still summer in the northern hemisphere, school has only just gotten started, and the leaves haven't even turned yet.
still - i suppose i have catching up to do.
I know EXACTLY how you feel, AK-Jeff! I've been buying Xmas presents for my son since March, lol and I need to stop or maybe just hide some until his birthday in February. I love Christmas carols and the decorating and all of it. This year we're in a new area so no dubs know where we live. I'm really looking forward to the whole thing! I'm even going to decorate the office where I work.

lfcviking I LOVE Monty Python! Know what you mean about the bits and co-workers looking clueless *sigh* "NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!" or my personal favorite "Bring out your deaaaaaad!"
I'm an export agent for a lumber brokerage. I don't just deal with OUR governments paperwork, I get to deal with red tape internationally! I also am a single mom to a seven year old little boy and I'm going to university half-time.

I love that song! And yes, it's definitely getting better. There are ups and downs, but a bad day free of the Borg is better than the best day inside!

thought this could get interesting discussing experiences.
i for one was trying to reach out for ministerial servant again in the early 90's , had been one before, and was assigned to carry the microphones one meeting.
had an elder call me in the back room and say , " brother flipper, i noticed looking down towards your shoes that you are wearing white socks today.
I'm pretty sure you're right, OM. I know that a little over a year ago my husband had to go home and change from a sports coat and slacks to a suit so he could give an impromptu Sunday talk at our Kingdumb hall and that happened in other congs we were in from Utah to Oregon to Washington.

if i could understand what they're saying in some of the new pop music, maybe i wouldn't have to listen to the oldies but goodies stations so much.
this song made me have to change stations though: dan hill's "sometimes when we touch".
"sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much....blah, blah, blah.
AIR SUPPLY!!!!!
"Two Less Lonely People in the World"
"The One That You Love"
"Making Love Out of Nothing At All"
I could go on but I'm starting to feel nauseous...

my life personally has taken a much more positive turn after leaving the religion.
less stress to be having nights taken up with meetings droning on.
lots more time for reading new things on life, hobbies, trips to take, i enjoy cooking for my wife.
Life is SO much better its shocking to me. Some times I almost expect to wake up feeling guilty for having a dream in which all my deepest longings have come true and then I realize THIS is now my life. THIS IS THE REAL LIFE!!! No more marking time doing repetitive and mindnumbingly dull activities, no more watching life going by, waiting for something that means SOMETHING to me! I can't even express how much better my life is.
I like the idea of focusing on how much better things are now, instead of grieving over the years lost, so thanks for the great topic, Mr. Flipper!

total lunar eclipse tonight!.
you'll have a better view if you are on the western part of na.. http://www.astronomy.com/asy/default.aspx?c=a&id=5912.
I got up at 2:45 and it was incredible! Of course, I'm taking an Astronomy class this term anyhow, so that just made it all the more interesting.
