Well, I figured a trip into the Hole would lift my spirits a bit.

You got any reasoning behind your "cheerfullessness" or is it the creeping gloom like mine?

Ahhhh! You answered my question before I asked it. :-)

It's gotta be something like that. Nothing has really happened to bring on this downer.

Why did your day go to hell? I'm sorry, I'm not paying attention here with my company. :-)

So, what's up? Need to freepmail?

300winmag; excellent presentation/evaluation and the visuals were outstanding, does the Shrade have a thumb knob and is it reversible, I'm wondering about the left handed operators out there. The plastic handle with rubber inserts does make for a better grip, wonder how well the plastic holds up to bug goop and oil.

The funny-looking hole in the Schrade is what your thumb uses to get a hold on the blade. A number of knives use holes, and they work well. It also makes them pretty much ambidextrous.

If money was no object (as in, $100+ knives were no big deal), there are dozens of knives I'd give gladly give out. Also other dozens that I wouldn't give away on a bet. When $25 is the upper limit, things get much more restrictive.

Maybe that's why we were so fantastically lucky with the CRKT. It's a production version of what started out as a $250 custom knife. We, and the troops, were blessed to get what we did for $18 each. If I see any more closed out elsewhere at under $30, I'll snatch up as many as I can afford.

I actually had a kinda' tough morning. One of my people kinda' blindsided me with a display of general frustration and anger... some of which was my fault. It's not that I haven't heard "bitchin' sailors" before around here, but it was the ferocity of it that took be aback. Made me quiet and thoughtful all day.

I gots peoplestuff that needs fixed around here. That much is true.

Hair! Googling up naughty breakfast pics?! For shame!!

My Auntie is bothersome, but only the first couple of days. Then, I'm pretty much back to normal. She's a crafty, wickedy woman - always popping by unannounced and uninvited!

Well that just sucks! I generally let other people's moods roll off my back. I've got enough troubles of my own to worry about other folkses issues. *sigh*

Sooner or later though, another folkses' stuff gets in your face (like what happened to you today) and then it leaves you drained and out-of-sorts.

Mainly I want a job where I am not responsible for other people's happiness.

Not too many jobs like that, I don't suppose.

Hmmmm.... responsible for other people's happiness. Newsflash. You're not. If you think you are, they have you fooled!
