Well, it's been just over a year of being a "house husband" and I really have enjoyed not going to work every day, but that ends today. I have a desk that I need to refinish and decided it would be easier to bring it to the refinishing shop I used to work in and just pay them to strip it for me, and then I would refinish it here at home. Well, the owner said he has been trying to get in touch with me to come back to work because all Hell broke loose and he is swamped with work, so I start tomorrow. At least now I won't have to pay him to strip the desk for me, I can do it myself.
Hopefully this won't slow down my cabbing output!

yeh, hopefully this won't cut into your cabbing time too much. i'm hoping to get back on the grinder soon, my shoulder is healing and we've tested and assembled the first thousand units (what a chore) of the Lego Compass Sensors here at the house.

i've got a batch of sweet pet wood (i'm hoping) coming out of polish tomorrow....so stay tuned!

You'll have to negotiate with your boss for an early day on Fridays, so you can have a head start on the week-ends to cab. Best of luck to you! Tonja

Thanks guys, it is going to be good/bad thing. I've really enjoyed staying home but it will be nice to have the extra cash too. He did sound like it can be a flexible arrangement, so it may work out just fine. I'll find out tomorrow.
