Re: [Chevelle-list] 2005, the year in review.

And after what happened at my old job, I realized that BOSS spelled backwards is double sob!!

Hey you handled everything thrown at ya. "That which does not kill us , makes us stronger." I'm guessing that '06 will be a big improvement for you.

I don't want to whine, but this year has been a bitch for me.
Started off pretty good except for the 3 acre wooded lot next to mine being sold. We liked the empty lot, thick with trees and wildlife, because it insured our privacy.
But then, I lost my job the first week in Feb, to the bosses' son. Daddy's boy needed a job after taking 3 1/2 years to get a 2 year degree AND after taking over half of my sales territory 2 years before, decided he wanted more territory/money. That was tough to take!! I had just purchased a new Chevy Colorado for work; didn't need another vehicle, but company guidelines required me to upgrade.
The people that bought the lot next door put a bulldozer on it and proceeded to knock down all the trees; yes, all of them. Pushed them into a huge pile for my slightly depressed wife to view from her kitchen window.
The upstairs heater went out and had to be shut down. The downstairs unit was working double duty but with the wood burning stove, did just fine.
With out insurance, I broke a bone in my right hand; and of course I'm right handed.
The new house being built next door called for a full basement. We live in Southwest Virginia; lots of rocks so we had to listen to a large jack hammer work it's way through boulders from 7A.M. till around 4 ish for a little more than 3 weeks!!! That took a toll on my poor wife and me too.
I landed a job in April to start on the 1st of May; better job all around.[This is a good thing] More money, better benefits and I get to compete with the old company!!
The people next door lit a fire first thing in the morning to burn off the trees they destroyed. We woke up to find our house full of thick white smoke from the drift. My wife was ready to commit murder!! It took months to get the stink out of the house.
The downstairs air conditioner died and had to be replaced along with the upstairs unit. That was a 5 week wait in a very humid June.
I took a corner too tight in the house while barefooted and running to answer the phone; broke my little toe on the left foot. Before you laugh, let me tell you that that baby toe was sticking out about 30 degrees; bad break It's amazing how much pain those little bones can create.
No silt fence needed, or rather required by law, in back of the new neighbor's property. Every time we got a good rain, more of their soil, from the barren dirt farm next door, slid onto my property. The tractor was out of commission, water pump went out and was a major PITA to replace, so all I could do was watch and hope we don't get too much more. {Ever seen a one legged man try to push a lawnmower out of the mud?} My wife started drinking at that point.
Broke the same bone [in right hand] while trying to cut corners by pushing on something I shouldn't have.
Bottom line, I didn't do a damn thing to my Chevelle this year; nothing!!
But for now, everything seems to have settled down. Next year will be better, I'm sure.
Guys and gals, have a safe and wonderful New Year's holiday.
