Not just clients equipment, but my stuff too!

I ran across a Zoltar Fortune Card Dispenser at Wall Drugs. I didn't play. Funny!

It's the universe saying you shouldn't go on vacation. I rarely had problems, up until I stepped foot into the airport.

Murphys Law. What can go wrong, will go wrong.

Just be glad you are a systems integrator and not an infantry soldier.

"Murphy was an optimist".

Yup. At a cottage for a week.

Got a text from a client. Install is a month old. Had a power outage and things "aren't working right". And mom is watching my dogs and the smoke alarm on the top floor failed.

Never fails.

Tell Mom to shoot the dogs and jump from, the balcony hoping she hits the pool. I'll be back in the office on Tuesday.

A couple years ago I started saying f*** it and taking time off. What really got to me, the person I work for would take at least 4 vacations a year, but I always felt bad doing that because so much relied on my skills. If he's gone for a week, no one notices. If I'm gone for a week, people tell him to leave and come back when I am back at work. I learned that when I fell out of an attic and had a forced week off. After that, I decided TV emergencies can wait.

There have been studies that men live longer healthier lives when they take regular vacations. Long weekends do not count as vacations any more than a working vacation. I try and disappear at least one a year nowadays. I have found the world is still revolving when I get back!!
