I chose to work at a Big4 firm again in 2019 when I got this job, after vowing I would never return to one, knowing it would require sacrifices, long hours, lower pay than industry and general misery at times. I think I have run out of my patience and ability to remain bought into the 'learning value proposition' that they sell.

Double rant for today
First up, was supposed to be playing golf today but due to the storm hitting the UK the course was closed
Second, due to said storm we have some damage to the roof over the kitchen which Jen found out when she came downstairs this morning to see water dripping through the ceiling. Managed to get a roofer to come and look and it isn't a big repair needed but he can't do it for a few days so need to hope the weather doesn't get any worse

popcorn, butter, salt. Very simple but so good. I make it on the stovetop.
Pulling up beside it the length of the spot looked questionable at best. What's that motto - if it fits it ships?
Same. That's already planned for date night snack today. Just need to figure out the movie we will watch.
In many cases you can blame planning boards. They want to minimize number of parking spaces and paved area. Often they “ bank” parking spaces - green now, reserved for lot expansion
My parents' house is like a terrarium.
Preach. This week has absolutely kicked my ass. Cold for me, then 10 year old had to go to minor emergency because she threw up every night for 4 days and lost 5 pounds. No explanation. Mix in her b-day, thanksgiving and wife’s b-day, and then sheeting and stucco repair I have going on. And I start a trial tomorrow so I’m headed to the office now on a beautiful day that I should be golfing.
I am feeling this song so hard right now.
For the first time in a long time we used an artificial tree that a friend of ours gave to us for free last year. It’s a huge tree but the lights didn’t work. I just went and cut all the lights and wires off and strung up new ones. We weren’t necessarily trying to save money for it but it was such a nice tree and it’s still strong so it holds all the ornaments up really well. When we did buy trees, Costco normally has them here in North Tx for around $65.

After I completed my MPA in August, and after we moved our daughter up to her dorm at the University of Arkansas, I took a few weekends in a row and did nothing but watch football. It was nice just sitting around and not studying for a change.

Yep.Watched a Joe Rogan podcast today with Randall Carlson. Designing and building is how he makes his money, although that's ot what the podcast was about. However, in a segment when subjecting ones self to authority came up, he said that 40 years ago when he was getting started, you might not need a permit at all, depending upon where the job was. 20 years ago, you might need 2 or 3, and could usually get that wrapped up in a week. He said now that he had to go before 7 or 8 board and took almost a month to get all the permits he needed for a project.
Broken bones I didn’t have time to deal with when they happened. Starting to add up and suck now that it’s gotten cold.
Well today was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I have had knee pain since April and hit an MRI a couple of weeks ago and I have a torn meniscus from when I played hockey 15 years ago. It was kinda getting better, but playing today I felt a sharp pain after hitting my tee shot. I then tried to hit my approach and it felt like someone stabbed me in the knee with a knife. Had to quit and go home after only 5 holes and now I can’t fully extend my knee or hardly walk due to the swelling and pain. Looks like my golf is over until I can get it surgically fixed. This SUCKS!

That does not sound enjoyable! Hope you can get all fixed up quick!

I’m done caring. I have a project that I said back in June I don’t have time for. (I only got involved in it last February when I asked a question on it because I could see the ball was completely dropped). me not having time was ignored. I got a quote from another party on August 6 to complete the work. The response - “that’s too expensive”. Okay, then come up With another solution mr Project Manager. Two weeks ago, I said once again here are your two options right now
- Me drop everything I’m doing until end of year and focus 100% of my time on this like this (I’m billing 50+ hours a week on other projects).
- outsource it like I suggested in August.

I don’t think I’ve gone longer than an hour or two in over 16 years with my ring. It does feel odd.
