I thought it would be really nice to have a thread where all of us could just post about our general day to day lives.  With a whole forum dedicated to music, I think this would be a great way to relieve the tension.

NO MUSIC DISCUSSION HERE!!!!

Anyways, my day was great.  I got off of work early, and rehearsed with my band.  It felt great to just relieve the work stress I've had lately.  I feel great now. Tongue

It's not exciting, it's relaxing though.  Working 10 hours a day makes you appreciate your precious time at a PC.

I was down the shore until yesterday which I spent helping my girlfriend with her calculus assignments. So I took my first freetime in awhile today and spent the good majority of it catching up on all the news I had missed over the last 5 days.

I work all day as an engineering manager, attend two colleges at night, and shuttle my three sons back and forth to football (pads and helmuts, not shorts and hot wives), swimming, band, orchestra, cross-country, and - oh yeah, school.

Then at night I write album reviews that are too long.

You're just jealous because you started school. Wink

Lets see, I ate a lot today and got $100 for my birthday and hung out (I called in sick Wink).  That's pretty much it.

Man, you have to be a numerical monster to understand calculus.  It just seems like it combines so many mathematical technqiues it makes my head spin.

I don't know how you math guys do what you do.

My Life:

Get up
Feed, burp, change the baby.
Work.
Come home, feed, burp, change the baby.  Feedings every 4 hours (and yes, that means overnight).

Repeat.

In between, I try to sleep, eat, post on PA/listen to tunes (mostly at work), and oh yeah, say hi to my wife every now and then and remember we had a relationship at one point that wasn't mommy and daddy.

As cynical as that sounds, actually life is really great.  No complaints.

Spent most of my day infront of a computer screen as well....but I've really been trying to change that, like going for walks, or drives. I like walking 7:30-8:00 when it's still light out but darkness is just starting to set in, the clouds are all orange and purple.... 
 
Besides that, I've been getting ready for college. Finishing that book I have to read, getting stuff for my dorm, BEGINNING to pack, oh and learning how to cook, (at least enough to ya know, survive).

As I said to Arrrghus earlier, you cannot use big and huge together, as they mean the same thing.

Either it's big or huge, not both together. Wink

    Looks like the velveteers are conquering new territories.

I Helped out at my temple today. We are getting ready for a huge fundraising yard sale. With a major university here, there is a big turnover at the end of the summer. People just put all sorts of things on the street, rather than move them. We grab the good stuff, and sell it. We also get a lot of donated items. The back yard looks like a furniture clearance center.

I spent the rest of the day working on a project, and preparing for a weekend trip.

Since I haven't had a job for the past two weeks, I spend my days at the house alone, trying not to spend too much money on stuff, waiting for school to start and spending a lot of time on PA (mostly the velevet room [go figure]). I've had some stuff to do the past few days, so that's nice.

My life not related to music? Well, these days it's pretty much sitting in front of my PC and trying to write or do translations - while posting nonsense (and the occasional intelligent response) on PA. Of course it also happens that I get to the kitchen to prepare something to eat (rarely, but it does happen), water the plants on the balcony, sit or lie down with a book, watch a DVD... though of course none of these things happen without a substantial musical accompaniment!Wink

Ah, and I sometimes go out too... Usually in the morning because of the heat, but these days I'd rather stay at home. In autumn and winter I definitely go out more.

Thanks for asking Jim.  He's almost 8 weeks old now, doing great, he has his cranky periods and about 9 PM every night throws a real fit (good screamer, must have inherited his mother's lungs Wink), but otherwise perfectly healthy, we're fattening him up quite nicely Smile

My life outside of music... rather vanilla actually....


Work at one of the largest electrical contractors in the state... do everything for them.. estimating (have a talent for numbers) down to electrical work (have a talent for making my hair stand on end)   Will be going back to school this spring to complete  a life's dream and finish my degree.. that having been sidetracked by life.. 

Home not much to tell  play bass and chat on ProgArchives and try to manage a chaotic family situation.

good man.. great school... excellent  major.. that was one of my majors as well (changing a bunch of times) .  A year short of graduating with a degree in history.. history has always been a passion of mine.  Good luck!

BTW: I'm thinking about History too, but am beginning to stray. I want to be involved with "the now;" I'm a foreward thinking person really...."progressive" when you get down to it Wink. The reason I'm leaning away from History is because one of the main things that interests me (or used to) is WW2, but I'm so opposed to war now that I'm beginning to loathe the subject. Also, I want to be constantly "in the know" and on the cutting edge of what's happening technology- and culture-wise, with a progressive job, and IMO teaching is quite the opposite: quite stagnant, especially in the subject of history. So I don't really know what I'm going to do. I was planning on getting the basic credits for college first anyway and then focusing on a major. I just don't want to be involved in the management aspects of a corproation. That puts me off, but I'll be looking around.

I took a long lay off but over the last year I've picked back up.. very therapeutic

hmmm...  just remember a great way to understand the now.. is to understand how we got to the now.... try to consider the situation in the middle east if you don't understand the history of it.  I loved history... I took a class on South Asia (India/Pakistan) and it opened a whole new world to me and a different way of seeing things.   Seriously consider history..

Not sure yet, but my mother is a professor of communications at a university in town and has connections to a web of colleges that would offer me free tuition because of her status. I'm thinking about going to one of those for the first two years and seeing if I want to stay or go somewhere else. Who can argue against a free education? Tongue I do want to get out of Indiana, though. It's a dead-end.

Good idea. My local county college offers 2 years free if you're in the top 20% of your class.
Oh I know the feeling....I was torn on staying home or going away. I like New Jersey....but I think I needed to get away from my NYC suburban town for a bit.

I do understand the basic history of the world without going into much detail, so I'm well aware as the next guy on how we got to where we are. It depresses me further. I want to distract myself as much as possible. Thus, a career in politics is out of the question.

Democrats suck cock cause they can't seem to get their Neo-Conservative tendencies out of their mind, while the Republicans are nearing Neo-Fascism! Dead
 
There are politicians that are good within both parties, but however, it seems America is no longer a democracy, but more like an oligarchy. Free ideas are not around anymore and are not circulated anymore.

I find it very interesting. Politics is a game and I have to admit  it fascinates me. However, it's a game I could never play  and like I said....I would have no shot...for a few reasons.

Man, that really is tough, best of luck to you, and make sure you don't work somewhere that is incredibly understaffed if you can avoid it.  You will relate hate your job.

My Office Depot is short.

1 manager with one manage leaving

2 techs with our only tech becoming a manager

3 stockers

2 cashiers

that is really really really bad, but it's nice job security...

^It was understaffed at my last job (at food lion, a grocery store), and it was pretty bad, I was doing most everything whenever I was working.

It was so easy last year, but now, it's so difficult to find one.

I was enrolled in a PhD program about 18 months ago...then I said "F this, school sucks", quit my job, moved from suburban DC to suburban Philly, and had a kid.

I have just finished the French courses and passed the exam(relatively well)today. My nerves are a bit shattered thanks to that, so I'll have to do nothing until school starts on the 4th of September. I need to relax. Besides that, nothing else really interesting.
