But, then again, I have to burn MY vacation days when the boss takes off---not when I'd like to take off - He goes to seminars in nice warm places in Jan/Feb and writes it off and I make 43% less take home now than what I made 10 years ago when I started there. Geesh, if I'd go for the long haul all at one time, I'd either have no job when I got back or one H.. of a backlog. Ah, the rewards of working for famous workaholics. At least, our ambivalent office manager/scheduler has just followed through w/our single yearly (per policy manual)lab coat/scrub smock this third year--seems we were starting to look a little threadbare, an true embarrassment to the beautiful people we serve.

I've come to the conclusion that under this crew, no one can lead a BALANCED life. One either has no time to enjoy life, or when time is available, there's no money with which to pursue leisure.

I certainly feel *'s pain - there's just never enough time to go anywhere where they'll throw roses at me cause nobody likes me and my staff says they're out to get me and then there's those everpresent weeds and brush on my personal property to clear. It's just so neverending.... It's hard, hard work being a world leader with nowhere to go and ever without enough oil/opium/coke dollars to really rock 'n roll. Pass the Chivas Regal please while I throw a hissy, tell a few WHOPPERS, and steal some black gold/pods/leaf sap from another soverign country's till. Just where the hell is James Dean when yah need him!
