DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

[AirGoofy]

I'm not that broken up about it since I wasn't sure, right up until the decision if I even wanted to do it. I'm already making the salary without the headaches. Pros and cons to be weighed.

Money without the decisions/ headaches? Yes, i would go with that. I did the supervisor thing once - wasn't enough pay.

I can say no.... but I tend not to get paid as much.

True. But you get time off though.

I did! and I'm hoping to actually meet some Dads this time around. I think we could have 5 at least, so a little mini Con!!

Sounds like a plan. Closer to time, see if we can figure out a day or time to all meet up.

DD had her 18th birthday over the weekend. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I kind of can't really tell her what to do anymore. To some extent, I guess. I'm not sure how this whole kids becoming an adult thing is supposed to work.

I didn't know you ever could tell them what to do.

Hope all are doing well. It would seem Darcy is doing the best of us all at the moment.
I've kicked in the b@lls at work the past week, not much time for anything.

Yeah, I noticed you hadn't been around much. Sorry. Come back from Disney and they slam you. How nice!

Well, technically you can't tell her what to do, but you can provide incentives for listening. Depending on the kid, it sometimes works. I've only got 1 of 7 left at home, so I think I had maybe a 33% success rate with that approach.

Holy crap - I didn't realize people still posted on these boards.
Maybe I'll hang out in here again.

John. Some of us never left.

It's an adjustment. Some can do it easier than others.

There is that. Especially with some of the staff... you know?

True. But you get time off though.

Also true.

Happy hump day dads. Hope you have a wonderful day.
That is all.

Came in second. I didn't have the time to prepare that I'd like due to my DD's surgery and that possibly made the difference.
There's also a possibility (and I am not saying this is the case, but I would be remiss not to mention it) that they awarded more points to the guy who got it because I'm eligible for pension in 18 months and he's in his late 20s.

I get that. If it's no more money and a lot more responsibility...hard to say yes to that.

Hope you get rain. Rain... not freezing rain.

Some wet, heavy snow, but it's not too bad where I am. Roads were fine. The northern part of the state is getting it worse.

Well, happy birthday to DD! If you figure out the parenting thing, let us know. We're all making it up as we go.

You have to constantly deal with other people. Some days there isn't enough money in the world to make that appealing.

Welcome back, John!

Morning gents.
At work. Goodbye day off!

Actually probably would’ve lost money.

Glad to hear it’s not too bad

Can whoever sent this cold weather down to us can take it back please? As much as I like penguins, your army needs to stay up North. It's not supposed to be this cold in GA in March.

Happy Thursday. Glad the weekend is almost here.

There is that. Especially with some of the staff... you know?

I would hate to supervise me. That would be terrible.

I agree. Supervising you would suck!

Whoops! Sorry. I had it pointed the wrong way.

Happy Friday! Missed the last few days so will try to catch up today. Netflix had Darkest Hour and I watched it last night. I'm a history buff so it was right up my alley.

Everyone, have a good weekend.

Happy Friday guys! My last 5th Friday of the week today. Head back to work on Monday. I've enjoyed not having to endure the day to day grind, but looking forward to bringing in some money again.

That's it, I'm calling it! (mostly for Jeff's benefit). Last one out gets to take medusa home and let me tell ya, her hair bites and she might require you to be stone hard for her.

Send it over to me! I want some freezing temps and snow before the heat starts rolling in.

Wait... Darkest Hour is on Netflix?! I know what I'll be watching this weekend.

DVD service.

Happy Friday. Both dds doing a church thing tonight, so we'll have some free time.

Wednesday, they passed the gut the Retirement Bill out of committee. Lots of protests. Today, they voted it back into committee. Still another month of session to go.

Same to you, CJ.
