Brain Fried - I'm taking the night off!

Thanks Lakota my friend. I wish I could take more time off away from this darned computer. It feels like half my life revolves around it anymore. Work, the band websites, many of my friends, most of my family.. ugh everything is on this darn thing. LOL

yeah when ya have all that am sure your life is spent in front of the monitor . Thats sort of why I like the phone I take it outside and talk get out of the house for all my family isnt on the puter or even have one!

I am sure you are up to the challenge. I know about learning new software. Sleeping on it will help, I am sure.

Hi GG! This job offer came from a girl I used to work with several years ago. She's opened up a screen printing shop of her own and needs someone to do the graphics for her. She knows I used to work a lot with graphics (mostly photo editing) so she wanted to know if I was interested. I am, but I've never done the kind of graphics she's talking about and I've never worked with the software she uses. So I had to do some research. I'm sure I can do it but I have to learn exactly WHAT to do and learn the software. Bad thing is she needs someone RIGHT NOW. I don't know if I can learn it in time so she's going to continue looking for someone while I try to teach myself how to do what she needs. Whoever gets there first wins! LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by hon.

Hey Pye... Ya that's my biggest problem. I too have that "slightly neurotic, perfectionist overachiever" mentality too. Problem is the body doesn't want to cooperate. Way too much going on at once and life isnt' perfect dammit! How dare it not be the way I want it to be! LOL Crazy uncontrollable things happen and their just isn't a darn thing I can do about it. Along with all the regular daily stuff going on, my mother-in-law is in the hospital and everybody is now trying to find her an "assisted living" apartment. The guy she's been living with for the last 13 yrs won't take care of himself and won't let anyone else take care of him, won't take his meds and won't eat unless someone is there to cook for him, he's 94 yrs old and refuses to leave his house. His family isn't helping at all! Nothing I can do about it, I'm 500 miles away! Last Friday I found out that one of my best friends had another heart attack... the third in 3 months. I didn't know anything about this one until she stopped by to tell me. I find out last night that another very dear friend has colon cancer and went in for surgery Monday. Nobody bothered to call me. It doesn't look good and she may not survive much longer. I just saw her a couple weeks ago and she was fine, so this came out of the blue. I'm not feeling great because I got my sandal straps caught in my mouse cord Saturday and took a major fall to the floor and twisted my ankle to boot. To say the least with the Fibro and the arthritis I'm still sore as hell from head to foot. Now I'm getting these bizarre cramps in my legs above the ankle, must have pulled the muscle. That's just THE STUFF, lots of minor stuff going on too. My brain is kind of hitting the wall at the moment. Ugghhh. It's too bad we can't turn our brains off once in a while or at least the "worrying" part of our brains. I think I'm done with my rant for now.... LOL Good luck with the bed! And thanks for stopping by hon!

You are one sick puppy there Sparks! I knew there was a reason I liked you!

Woof! Woof! Where's my fried brains?

Hi Opal! I'd love to clue you in about a good paying internet job. Unfortunately the job offer I got is local. A girl I used to work with years ago needs some graphics work done for her screen print shop. I don't know the program she uses or the exact type of graphics she needs done but I'm sure I can do it. I just need to actually work with it and figure out how the software works. I did some research on the internet about the program and I'm familiar with similar software but hers is a lot more complicated! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the encouragement hon!!

Well, sunshine it looks like you've found the perfect solution to internet burnout, congratulations on being able to stop whenever you want to. I don't always get that luxury. As I said in my original post.. those amongst several other things going on in my life right now. My internet burnout was only a part of a bigger picture. Along with all the regular daily stuff going on, my mother-in-law is in the hospital and everybody is now trying to find her an "assisted living" apartment. The guy she's been living with for the last 13 yrs won't take care of himself and won't let anyone else take care of him, won't take his meds and won't eat unless someone is there to cook for him, he's 94 yrs old and refuses to leave his house. His family isn't helping at all. Nothing I can do about it, I'm 500 miles away. Last Friday I found out that one of my best friends had another heart attack... the third in 3 months. I didn't know anything about this one until she stopped by to tell me. I find out last night that another very dear friend has colon cancer and went in for surgery Monday. Nobody bothered to call me. It doesn't look good and she may not survive much longer. I just saw her a couple weeks ago and she was fine, so this came out of the blue. I'm not feeling great because I got my sandal straps caught in my mouse cord Saturday and took a major fall to the floor and twisted my ankle to boot. To say the least with the Fibro and the arthritis I'm still sore as hell from head to foot. So I'm very glad that doesn't happen to you. I'm not so fortunate.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing, just take a day or two a week and stay off the internet except checking e-mails. I've got so many things going on at once and several other things I want to do but don't seem to have the time. If I'd get off this computer once in a while I'd have more time! Seems so simple but not always easy. Sort of like trying to break a habit... LOL.
