Dam I knew I was forgetting to add something to the hunny do list :lol: My issue ATM is that my couch is too comfy. It's exactly one week today since I last did my water change so I should move my butt and go do it, however did I mention how comfy the couch is?

Probably not to much, cause as much as I whine and complain about doing them, I seem to get my weekly water changes done every week. Wereas you do yours less often.

I see in the future you & girly spending your Sunday afternoons bonding over tank maintainance & WC, so romantic :biggrin:

Oh no you didnt.......are you sure you wanna go down this route baby???:wink:

^^^^^^:pop2:

Running to hide under my bed, the grown-ups might start arguing :twised:

This brings back child hood memories... The bad kind that I can't seem to forget! just kidding!! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Oh yes she did. Served:twised:

:thumb: and for the record I got up a bit earlier this morning and did the water change on my 10g.

For the record, worked till past 5:30am went to bed at 6 and got a call from a fishie friend at 9:30am so I'm up and working on the dang computer again at 9:55am. Have to edit papers half asleep and out of focus because I DON'T dare put in my contacts so soon after taking them out.

So I finally got smarter than the Wrasse...now I feed the Trachy AFTER the Wrasse goes to sleep in the sand! Brilliant!

Can't sleep...mind won't shut down. I'm too excited about our new carpet and then our new Saltwater tank.
Went to bed @ midnight Tues, woke up @ 1:30. Fell asleep @ 6am, got up @ 11. Stayed up all day so I could sleep that night.
Went to bed @ midnight Wed, woke up @ 1:00. Took sleeping pill @ 4:30, fell asleep by 6am, was woke up @ 9:00 by BCA member.
Too excited about picking up new skimmer and pump...then bought RO unit. Went online to buy parts....now it's nearing 9pm and 6 beers.
Hope I sleep. This soon-to-come saltwater tank is gonna be the death of me :mrgreen:

OK, it's official.....as others have already stated, I'm nuts :lol:
We're putting in new carpet, it's nearly X-mas, I'm unemployed, and I have just spent over $1000 on gear for my up-coming FOWLER.
But hey, it is money that came from selling my Freshwater gear, so it's OK, right?
RIGHT? :loco:

In the last 2 months I have had 6 - 36+ hr days, not from excitement of new things and such but all work. So you still have a little catching up to do :lol:

I'm almost getting used to the short sleeps.
But it's showing on my face. Black circles and bags.
I just hope my heart stands up to it.
We're not as young as we used to be, right?
Oh well, at least the wife still loves me, right Donna? Donna?
Where the hell is she :biggrin:

God, I gotta find a new job. I'm goin' stir-crazy
If it wasn't for the new FOWLR project, I mighta gone bonkers

Oh, BTW Grizz...
It's Greg, right?
I have pulled more than one 27hr shift in the shop and then have put cutting wheels half-way through my boots.
I like my sleep

Ya, I'm posting again....
Goddamned Canada Post....
All they give you is 'Parcel arrived @ shipping' so-and-so, with no tracking stating where it is. Then the next is the arrival date.
Nothing in between.
What's the point of Canada Post Tracking ?

All this talk about not being able to sleep & guess what I CAN'T GET TO SLEEP DAMN IT!!!!

Well I guess this will make 7 - 36+ hr days in the last 2 months. :surprise:

I do the 36 hour once every 10 days with my work scedule and watching the kids, save money in daycare, but wow, takes a day or 2 to get over.

Even harder to recoup when you can't take a day to just veg out. Monday - Friday work to pay the bills, Saturday & Sunday work on the " honey to-do list ", work / play with the Huskies, acreage yard work ( all year round ), tank maintainance, work on other peoples tanks / stands. Just not enough hrs in the day.

Sleep deprivation is a normal state of affair for me. I haven't hit REM sleep in ages. Unfortunately, my students consider texting me at 4 or 5 in the morning to be ok. This time of year, no days off and minimal sleep is normal.

Yesterday, I was sooooo tired, I had an energy drink so I could finish the last few hours of editing work. Didn't help so I had a Red Bull. Finished very early, by 11:30am, but the Red Bull kicked in big time and I couldn't wind down until 6:30am. Then an unnamed fishie friend calls me at 10:30am. Awesome.

At least I used the time to change out my return pump, clean my skimmer, top off my ATO container, do some dosing, and clean the glass. Did more maintenance on Red Bull than I had time to do for the last few weeks.

Ya, sorry to wake you up @ 10:30am, but we did have plans :biggrin:
I'm suffering too. It's now 2:30am and I still can't sleep after 2 nights of 4hrs.
I also finished-off 12 beers. You'd think I could sleep.
I am now going to swill some cough medicine and a nitol.
Plus I will turn off the phone.
"Fear the wrath, thee who knocks on the devil's door"
Or something to that effect :mrgreen: :twised::twised::twised::twised::twised:

Hey you got Doug's stand done, so feel free to take a break and rest now :mrgreen:

36 hrs & counting..........oh & driving home from Calgary on the deuce.

*sigh*.....no BSJ for me:neutral:

:sad:

hahah my carpet nem is currently pooping........

Me too..

Snoopy, our 15 yr old flame hawkfish died today :( he was quite the fellow.... R.I.P.

:sad: Sorry to hear

that's sad

that is sad......but remarkable that you had him for so long....good job....

Very sorry to hear that :( I am sure he got his 15 golden years with you. I had some fish that had lived in my tank for almost 8 years, when they died I felt like some of my family members passed away.

We acquired him a year and a half or so ago from a fellow can reefer. He loved snoopy too. I was at first skeptical on his age, but learned this fish had grown up with this guys kids..He quickly became one of our favorite fish. He started showing signs that his age was catching up to him in the last couple weeks. We're pretty bummed out.
Awesome fish though.... Will entertain getting another one day :)

I here by dub this day not Tuesday, But "Monday 2.0 with a bad attitude and carrying a roll of quarters in each fist looking for trouble"


Here comes the next 3 hours of my shift.. started at 8..will end at 9... Damn you Monday 2.0!!

it's Sunday for me. back to a 21day work shift tomorrow :(

I miss that. Can you believe that? I actually miss working 110 hours a week. WTF?! :neutral:

i miss working period.....fml

And here I am burning out from working only 60 hours a week... I miss being unemployed.

i love working long hours the weeks fly by, the cehques are big and after a long shift like 18hrs it feels so good to get a hot shower and crawl into bed knowing you got to do it all again in a few short hours.....being burned out makes me feel good, doing a good hard days work makes me feel a sense of self pride:):)


that being said though if i won the lottery i could be quite happy spending my days on the beach drinking magaritas in between dives hehehe:):)

my random thought
 

I need to do more research for future purchases! :lol:
now I know thanks to all of you guys haha! appreciated
