Shane_B. Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I went to school with a kid who had a glass eye. One time during gym class we were playing dodge ball and someone hit him in the back of the head and his eye went rolling across the gym floor. Sorry you're going through all that Bill. When I first moved to Missery, sorry, Missouri, I had pneumonia for almost 2 years. I couldn't even move our stuff in to our house. My wife's work had to pay for movers to unload the truck with all our stuff in it from Iowa. I was flat on my back. It spread to infections in my chest, ears, sinuses. I lost a significant amount of hearing and gained a significant amount of tinnitus because it got in my inner ears. It took me 6 months to find a specialist down here in this ... uh, lovely area. Turned out to be allergies. Simple OTC meds took care of it but the damage had already been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at a map the name sticks out like a sore thumb. I don't live in town but out in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still dead inside, they've just made a lot of advancements with plastic surgery. ? I got away from music and forums and the net completely for a few years. Had a lot going on 'round home. Was hit by someone who ran a stop sign. Had surgery a few months ago and have to go in again in a couple months (not related to accident). Been locked in since Feb 2020 and finished all my inside home remodel projects and decided to get back in to recording again while it's still too cold to do anything outside. Once spring rolls around I'll be gone again. Glad to see most of the old timers are still here. I'm loving CbB. It's running rock solid. I keep bouncing between it and S1. It's hard because I love both but CbB is like an old friend when I fire it up and I still think it's the best looking and easiest to use DAW. S1 is getting too complicated for my old brain. There's a lot crammed in there and it's only a matter of time before it starts to crumble. Hah. I just got a new Presonus 1810c interface and latency is better in CbB than S1 on my system ... ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you back Bub. I'm still on the daily grind during the week. In order to get off work I would need to get hurt and I don't want that. I feel like most of the world is sitting at home in their underwear working from home and I'm still out here every day. I'll admit I'm a little jealous. Even my supervisor gets two days a week working from home. He called me up a few weeks ago about 9:30am and had the "I just got out of bed" voice. Mind you, I get up at 5:30 am. The kicker is 99% of everything I do could be done remotely. I am here on a technicality because others who don't work on a computer have to be here and I'm part of that group. I wouldn't want to be off because I'm injured or sick. Sorry to hear about the accident and hope you continue to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about the accident and hope you continue to recover. Thanks. I couldn't imagine having to be exposed to this the entire time. My wife is an engineer and has been working from home since late Feb. She's on her PC 10 hours a day. Don't know how she can stand it. At least I'm doing something fun when I'm on. They changed their policies to where you can stay home and work whenever you want to now. Even after this is over. There's only a few people who have started going back in to her office. There's over 5K where she works. I gave up looking for work down here and started doing my own thing but that has amounted to me focusing on finishing the fixer upper house we bought. The only thing I could find was going to downtown KC every day and I'd rather live in a van down by the river than do that. My wife had to go to Boston 3 days last week, come home for the weekend, then go right back Monday for another 3 days. Next month the poor thing has to go to Waikiki for 2 weeks, over Valentines day. I can't go because our last dog is 16 and not doing good and requires 24/7 care. It's getting exhausting. So I'll probably be here a lot in the next month or so, wallowing in self pity. ? Bill!

I doubt they even let kids play dodge ball at school anymore. They probably all sit around in their safe zones hugging each other and drawing pictures of kittens and various fluffy animals sipping soy based juice box made of 100% recyclable containers. These damn seniors in high school these days. I tell you. EDIT: 'There's ... something ... on ... thewing!' Edited January 22, 2021 by Shane_B.

Don't forget to take your meds! You know how forgetful us old timers are! ? I hear a lot of people are working on home projects to stay busy. I was off for 8 weeks and managed to get a lot done. No commute. My wife is a a professional too who works from home a few days a week. Thankfully she is always local. Would be tough dealing with a spouse who had to go away. I've been at my job for 20 years now and in this line of work way before that. I don't do bad where I am. To go anywhere else and have the deal I have here probably wouldn't happen so I'm hanging on until I'm ready to retire. Then I figure I'll get a "busy" job of some kind part time or take more time in the studio recording. I could probably quit now and we would be ok but I'm staying at it for a bit more yet to save. Completely debt free. Three cars all paid for. Own my home. Financially I'm doing well. Had some health issues awhile back I'm trying to stay on top of. If things get worse I might have to leave earlier than I intended. I have some issues that could be progressive in the future. So far so good. I would probably get tired of staying around the house all the time, but waking up at 7am would be very nice. No commute would be very nice. Staying up late would be nice. One day hopefully in the not to distant future I will retire and the people who work from home will be envious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss work terribly but when I decided to get out of the office equipment business I couldn't get hired anywhere else. As I said, the wife is an engineer. We do great on what she makes so I don't need a high paying job anymore. But I couldn't even get a job as a temp at a factory. Middle aged guys who look like my avatar have a target on our backs now. We have for a while. Hang on to what you have for dear life because you're screwed with a capital F if you lose it and have to start over. I would be in the street if not for her and believe me, it's not for lack of trying. I applied for 187 jobs in Iowa when the company I worked for went under. I got 1 call back 1.5 years later and I took the job but had to quit when we were forced to move to MO for her new job. Nothing has been right since. 9 years later. Bill! The meds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
