i meant to PM you about your recent ...moods... they shone through...and i was worried a bit...now i am even more worried... i am about to go to sleep...but in about eight hours from now i would be able to have a bit of a PM therapy capacity...
I was going to paint concrete pour lines, but not too much stuff. Sometimes the bases can overlap on the table, so the flatness is by design. I have lots and lots of seperate crates and barrel-type terrain bits to fill in here and there.

I'm around on odd hours if you ever need to "vent a little steam" as it were as well.
Dave jobs suck always have always will, run by moronic arse holes that use and abuse your ability for their gain, but remember this with out you they don't have a fething clue.
A job takes up (on average) 1/3rd of your day so don't let it ruin the other 2/3rds, work to live not live to work.
We all get wound up but leave it their don't take it home (trust me I know) It takes some doing but it does work, just laugh it off don't let it consume you.

Sleep no bit seriously what I mean is, ok it is a most inconvenient part of your day yes, but overall it works out roughly to 1/3rd and then you have weekends, unlike you M0rdain hats of to you sir.
My point being is don't let it consume the rest of your day, after all if you do it will interrupt your sleep pattern ( trust me I have been there ) and all other aspects of your life, wether it be relationships, hobbies hell even eating.
I have to agree with Vik that Dave has of late sound slightly edgy with his replies, which further proves the point that it is effecting all aspects of his life.
I am bot having ago but just saying that with some mental training you can detach your self from it.
After all we don't want to loose the founding brother to some fethed up job do we …..

i too can attest the change of eating habbits and sleep pattern due to these kids of stress... and i would be a much grander man if i would be able to just shunt out that kind of work related problems... now that i am on the verge of getting into worklife...this will be awhole new lifesetting i will step in... bottlenecks all over... try to get two small kids fully geared up in the moring to lead them to school/nursery... that is in itself a full job with lots of possible chances for frustration... and then imgaine that with the damocles sword of the job and the working schedule in your backside... yeah...well we only can hope to have a nice worksspace to work at, with some (not all) collegues and maybe even a fair boss...tho i have yet to meet that kind of boss... and it is too easy to say that it is only 1/3 of your dayly life ...because lets face it... many peeps out there define themselves by their jobs... i dunno if that might happen to me now all of a sudden... but if so...you are very vunerable to evil influences via the job part of your life...and that poison spreads...er...i think i might have made my point but not up to any solution...er...on second thought i like your ideas better LDD... only that i think i am not that kind of guy...
tho mind you...i once had a boss during an aplication...and he got over my line...so i said: one more word and we solve that outside...welll he said i had a profile neurosis... i didn´t hit him for that... but after that he treated me not any more with his stupid jokes...
so i said: one more word and we solve that outside...

Automatically Appended Next Post: I have an extreme amount of patience, but that has come from my previous job. I used to Transport Prisoners from prison to court, then back again after the trial. When you have a Bus full of idiots banging on the doors and yelling, you learn to ignore them. You can’t let the stress get to you. It also helps in my second job as Doorman, were I deal with more idiots, although this time they are drunken.
So remember grab your earlobes and rub them and say “woooo saaaa” (Cookie if you recognise the quote)
But saying this, it gets completely on my wife’s tits, that I don’t get angry or stressed out at times, and having worked with prisoners where you have to not let yourself get sucked in. You kind of gloss over and don’t let your self care (or it could eat you up, or they could eat you up) so its had its downside that it has eroded some of my emotion and in turn empathy

It's just the cultural standard in Europe, you value free time more than Americans do, hell half of Europe goes on "holiday" for the entire month of August. Americans get two weeks all year if they are lucky, and then once you come back from vacation, all the pointless work is just piled up for you. I only wish that work was only 1/3 of my day....
But thanks for all the support.

Hey Dave, if you want, here's notes on a customer I had recently.
Spoiler:
Ticket ID: 298193 Agent: Bloodaxe, Skalk 2/13/2012 3:15:01 PM Assigned Tier: 1 Issue Type: Diagnosis Status: In Progress
JOURNAL ENTRY:
3:53:46 pm EDT - Due to prev cust contacts, I researched all tickets in database and all ser ords / trbl tickets in XXXX. Per cust request, called CBR (XXX-XXX-XXX) at 3:15pm, went direct to vm that stated (business name, didn't catch it) was closed and to leave a msg. I identifying myself and stated I'd call back in appx 5 minutes.
Called CBR again at 3:20, this time I got a msg that the number had been disconnect. I tried redialing again, same msg.
Found same CBR in database notes from a ticket dated 02/21/12 (XXX-XXX-XXXX). Dialed again. Same msg that # was disc. Verified XXX-XXX-XXXX copied as msg listed digits, same as CBR.
Called home #. Got cust, she stated that she JUST cancelled her cell service. She knew she was changing it today but gave it as her CBR for us to contact her. Ok.
I explained to cust that her mdm had signal but did not have authentication, and that the situation was likely a username / password issue on the mdm. She became confrontational and condescending at that point and asked me if I was going to waste her time like previous tech did. I answered by saying that I was going to check the basics and help her get online. She said "whatever, it doesn't matter, I don't care".
I asked her what lights she had on the mdm, she stated she had everything but ACT. I asked if there was an Ethernet cable connected from her computer to the mdm. She said yes. I asked her to open a web browser, she said she already had one open. I asked her to clear out the address field, she sighed and said "10.0.0.2, yes, I know". When we got to the login page, she said that nothing worked, she already typed in the username and password. I asked if she had typed Admin / Admin, she said that wasn't the login. I asked her to try the information I provided, she was resistant and asked me why we were doing this. I advised this was standard troubleshooting and a first step in a situation like this. Another sigh and something mumbled. From that point I never heard another keystroke.
After I walked cust through the reprogramming steps on the mdm, I advised that it still showed offline and that from here, and that I waanted to verify physical connections. Cust stated that nothing had changed and that everything was the same. I advised cust that all I wanted to do was check basics because if an I&R trouble ticket was necessary I had to note that physical connections had been verified.
I started asking questions about the phone cable, she said "yes, yes yes, it's all connected". She wasn't checking anything. I asked cust which port the phone line was plugged into. She said "the right one". I asked what port the telephone cable was connected to (LINE or PHONE) and she said that she wasn't going through this and that she was She also stated that she was tired of my condescending attitude and that she wanted to know how to return her mdm because she was going to go to (local competitor). I explained that I was trying to help her but in order to do so I needed her to work with me. She said that she was going to call (local competitor) because their tech sppt was much more competent and that she was going to call my manager to tell him of the very poor and rude service she rec'd today and recommend that I be terminated for my incompetence and then hung up on me.
Mdm still shows offline.
So yeah buddy, I feel your pain and while our jobs are somewhat different, we deal with the same kind of people every day. I've hit total and complete burnout but I cannot find another job that would draw the same wage I am making now. So I drive on.
There are days where I'd sooner drive my car off a cliff than come to work. Today is one of those days.
Back on topic a bit, I really like the results you have been getting on your hazard stripes, it's a definite improvement from your earlier attempts.

Situations like the above (and a few other misc "life" issues) is the main reason I've stopped painting / modeling. I just don't care. I try to, I really do, but I have no motivation, no inspiration, and I've started selling off most of my stuff because I'm so very sick of looking at it. I'm keeping the Plague Marines and my Cultists though, no worries there.
But at least I have a job to complain about. Some of my IRL friends are not so fortunate right now.

They have no idea what they are doing and won't listen to what we tell them will happen if they continue to be morons. I know what you mean, they know we are lucky to have A job in this crappy economy that they (banking/insurance industries are siamese twins IMHO) created with their wooden nickels in the first place, so they can get away with whatever they want, they know we'll be there to clean up the mess, then they can send an email to everyone calling it "a success", stroke each other awhile, and then they'll take the month of August as holiday and go smoke dope and drink wine in the alps.

The worst question to be asked in a job interview is "what do you think is your main weakness" I mean how the bent do you answer that? I said at one interview that I had no weakness; didn't get the job... Another interview I told them I had a weakness to kryptonite... actually that's a lie. But the worst one I had they loved me to bits but I was without ID apart from a driving license and it took me to long to get new ID so despite being blatantly British they didn't employ me. On the whole though I shouldn't complain as so many people don't have a job at all. Mines crap though...
