An office with a view...
Work has been tough lately. Today was my first day off in over 22 days and already I can't wait to get back to "the office". Working conditions are rough. Long days, lowered oxygen levels in the work place and nothing but bacon for breakfast every morning
:

My office changes from day to day, thus making it difficult to really "settle in". The commute sometimes is a bitch:
"Damn traffic!:

Somedays I dream about vacationing in the islands:

Most days at work I can't come home when the day is done and there is no "quitting time". Some days I have to sleep at the office and then wake up at an ungodly hour but the views at that time of day are pretty good:


Oh, and sometimes in my commute I run across likeminded folk from other parts of the country:

The office does have its upsides though. The scenery is always nice:


and boredom is seldom seen. The job comes with a free membership to the gym, but it's nothing like your Gold's gym or 24Hr. Fitness
. The cardio area of this gym is unique and exhausting. There are no "quick, 30-minute" workouts here, oh no. The Stairmaster machine here at work is quite the total body workout.
The views from the office gym are pretty good too:

My clients sometimes 'jump' right into my office for an appointment:


My 'clients':

There are days when I come to work and my head is in the clouds, or in some cases above the clouds:

Lunch is pretty boring and just about always the same....Peanut butter and jelly or trail mix. Oh well, I guess I can live with that.
Flowers make the office vibrant:

Dress is pretty casual here at work. Chacos, dirty t-shirt, and quick dry shorts are the norm in the office.
Here are some of my clients walking into the office:
TPS reports? What the hell are those?
I try to stress 'teamwork' in my office and to my clients:

Oh, did I mention that the office window views are pretty darn good?

Here I am sitting on my couch eating beefjerky and watching football.
I need to get my priorities straight--soon.

Looks like a rough job!
TGR 4 in Ohio? Who is this person?I think that the human mind is unique among all other forms of life in that it can spontaneously create unique thoughts and provide unique behaviors. Instead of rewarding that uniqueness we, for some reason probably because of cultural and social necessity, we chastise unique behavior and reward conformity.

Sweet! Where is that? Great pictures.
The only reason I wish I might have gone to Regis PT instead of CU PT is to play around with your outdoor group. Everyone in my program just studies all the time (me included).
Not on here much anymore. Drop me an email if you want to contact me. Have a wonderful winter!

My 'office' gives me free food and a ski pass and just gave me a raise today- so I can't complain much- but MAN seeing your pics makes me want to be a camp counsellor again!
What do you do?Believe.

Are you quitting on me?! Well, are you?! Then quit, you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit! Get the fuck off of my obstacle! Get the fuck down off of my obstacle! Now! Move it! I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo!

Great day-in-the-life TR. That trapeze shit looks fun.
It's an abbreviation for "tiger." Lots of swingers in Ohio.

Nice, nice shots, especially the landscapes of the mountains. Normally I live by the credo that "day jobs suck" but in your case we may have to make an exception.
I love these two:


Thanks for putting them up.

Job looks okay, but it looks like you don't grade any papers? Where is the teaching in that?

I was kind of surprised we didn't hear about you sneakin' off in the middle of the night to get that lil' line on Ice at first light and then be back at the office in time for coffee & doughnuts.

Nice "work" there D.
