Is this from personal experience? I've done both. One went well and one didn't go so well. I'm really hoping for the best on the third one.

I'm here.

Another average week, EXCEPT for yesterday. (I rarely have a bad week anymore, at least work-wise.)

But yesterday, after the Zarquari announcement came, the owners wife and me had some (political) words. And for the FIRST time since I have been there (about 6 mths. now, SHE, not her husband, was less-than-nice to me!!

It started with her standard "the war was not worth it", mantra. That led to "over 10,000 of our kids have been killed or maimed, for nothing!!". Then"how will Zarquari's death change anything"?

With each response from me, supporting the conservative position, and the WOT, her anger grew. It peaked with me saying "you can't defeat terrorists by sending friendship cards, flowers and getting together for a group hug, and also when I suggested that "if they ever do find WMD's ,the ENTIRE liberal platform will collapse like a house of cards"!!

After this, and after her talking to someone on the phone who must also have been conservative, she kinda took out her frustration on me. But she left for lunch soon after and when she returned, she did not start any more political discussions with me(she started ALL of the ones before!!)

Other than that, it was another pretty good week. On my other job today, I worked on a VERY difficult set, which had been given up on be 2 previous techs, and I FIXED it, which pleased the boss immensely!!
