I hear ya... I've been working from 8 am to 7ish, and running off to rehearsal until 10. Makes for a long day...

Brd -- its more like 3!

Whew, just got in from a long day. Leaving for Raleigh tomorrow.

I am ready to drop so early, and I always end up staying up late!

[shira467]

I get that Liotte.

Too bad I've got too much crap to do, and I have a car picking me up at 6 a.m. Boo.

Yikes, that's early!

Have a good trip, Shira!

Shira, are you off to do a photo shoot?

The winds of change are blowing at the firm and my banker's hours are ending soon!

[liotte]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:19pm

Banker's hours? What does that mean?

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:22pm

Banker's hours
The hours a banker keeps. In idiomatic use, the phrase is often a synonym for a shorter-than-normal work day or work week, as banks used to close earlier than most businesses and take more holidays.

Ooh, I would like to take banker's hours!!

I am not that lazy, but I do like to leave at 5!

I read some London Wicked reviews on the main board, I really hoped to get there this year. (my wife has family in England, Scotland and Wales)

Brd, its not quite a photo shoot. More like 200 some-odd debutantes, their families, and all that jazz. It's exhausting.

[liotte]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:39pm

Shira, the only knowledge of that world I have is from the old tv show, Rags to Riches, in which one of the girls was entered into a debutante contest.

Brd, if I left work by 5 everyday, there is no way I could pull myself away from doing lottos every single day! Now by leaving later, I don't see shows as often. Which is good. In some ways.

I recall you did that last year with your father?

[shira467]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:41pm

Brd, I do it every year with my Dad. It's our father-daughter-business time.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:43pm

That really is nice, I did math with my daughter tonight!

[shira467]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:44pm

It's not bad. I mean, its exhausting, and I always get a good shot of adrenaline when I do it.

But as for father-daughter. Well, its the only time we spend together that's NOT a lecture or about veganism or my weight.

Do you get a check for it?

[liotte]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:55pm

It would have to be a pretty high of a check to get me to spend that much time with the parents!

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 9/7/06 at 11:58pm

That will change with time. I really need to get home to see my parents!

[liotte]

Posted: 9/8/06 at 12:03am

Yeah, I've already started seeing some of those signs of it changing. Not counting the Hawaii trip and the arguments with my mother.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 9/8/06 at 12:08am

I limit my arguments to future life plans - they need to get into assisted living!

[shira467]

Posted: 9/8/06 at 12:19am

Brdlwyr, I DO get a check. I insist on being treated like ALL other employees when I work with my Dad. Which means, I get my own hotel room, and I get respected and treated (and therefore paid as well), like other employees.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 9/8/06 at 12:20am

That is nice Shira! Have a nice and safe trip!!!!

[shira467]

Posted: 9/8/06 at 12:24am

It could be worse brd. MUCH worse.

I'll be back Saturday. It's a 26 hour trip!

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 9/8/06 at 12:31am

I often do a 8 hour turn around to St. Louis!
