    That's awesome! I want to get a bonus for taking time off, but I get 4 weeks PTO and 1 week I buy, so I can't complain. Barcelona Rock Fest is looking good, though I'm leaning towards Brutal Assault for my summer fest, but still considering a couple others.

      One of the venues here in Houston is offering a St Patrick's Special: select shows at $10 general admission. I managed to purchase for the following shows:

      Children of Bodom, Swallow The Sun, Wolfheart
      Yngwie Malmsteen
      Victor Wooten
      The Winery Dogs
      Whitechapel, Dying Fetus, Revocation, Fallujah

      Including fees, it added up to a total of $59.63 ... that is $14 per show! :D

      Don't know where this fits, but I just watched a program on Dutch national TV about 70000 Tons. Still so familiar faces even though I've only been on the first four cruises, makes me want go back.

      After 99 days of bothering people to actually fill out my damn reference form, it was FINALLY finished today. Now it's ACTUALLY going to move somewhere. Boy do people suck, but the worst part (for me) is over now!

      YAY!!

      I had a good few days woke up yesterday to an email saying I'd received an employee recognition award. Not a huge thing (will be able to get like a $50 gift card with it), but I was quite happy for the 'recognition of a job well done' aspect.

      But THEN, got another email later in the day from the big boss saying that I was in the higher percentile regarding annual bonus payments due to my performance! AGAIN, great from a 'recognition of a job well done' aspect, but also seriously good (and handy!) cashy money for that one :D

      And now, enjoying a public holiday today :)

      I released my first EP of synthy music last week! (rejoicing thing 1)

      I also took a gamble and hired a PR guy to help promote the release, and so far it's really paid off, so yay! Have review interest from as far away as Germany and a bundle of interview stuff to fill out, so that's going really well. Never realized you could put in so much work after a release, though...

      I also took a gamble and hired a PR guy to help promote the release, and so far it's really paid off, so yay!

      First congratulations on getting your home !
      2 kittens real cool also , good luck .
      I always read your posts they are always interesting .
      You really did not miss much with not going on the 2020 cruise , the better move was definitely doing as you did for the kittens and the home.
      I was locked in with the cruise due to laying the money out and not wanting to take a loss by cancelling .
      Made the most of it overall , clearly my least desirable cruise of the three times I attended .

      oh, there were plenty of bands I'd have enjoyed seeing this year, and it would have been fun to go... but yeah, my daughter just turned 1, buying a house, getting the kittens... plus career change earlier this year and winning a settlement against my previous employer... it's been one hell of a year... suppose we'll see what happens next year

      Handed in my resignation at work today. Those that know, I work as a Parts Manager at a Volvo dealership. 6-7 days a week for best part of 20 years has finally tired me out..
      On one of the cruises, I chatting with a German chap and he said "It's illegal to work that many hours!"

      Same in the US, but glad you are going to take some time for yourself! My coworkers and I tried to work everyday when COVID started cause we wanted all the OT money, but after they noticed we were working like 20 straight days they said we now have to take at least 1 day off a week. It's nice to have the option, but I would hate if I always had to work that much.

        In 8 days it'll be 2 years since our car accident that totally our brand new SUV and left us with injuries that will still take years to heal (all kinds of fun spinal issues). We finally got everything settled though and I got to deposit the checks today. I'm just so happy it's finally over and it's like a giant weight has been lifted.

          Ha yes. I'm that guy at work--like I am right now..shh.. that is here all the time--late,early, on call, long weekends, Christmas day--"hi I need a roof box installed as we are going skiing and I need it done today" call Jaimie he'll come and do that :) "

          Seeing the world right now, it's time to step back and be a selfish bastard and take some time for myself.

          We started the process to refi our mortgage and assuming it all goes smoothly, we will be switching from a 30 year FHA to a 15 year conventional. Our house has gone up enough in value since we bought it that we didn't even need an appraisal to avoid mortgage insurance. Our payments will go up about $250 per month, but I'm really excited to work on paying it off sooner!
