Share your quitting journey
Good afternoon EXer family...
I hope all is well in EXland today.....Pops is traversing the No Mans Landscape today. As I am traveling, this funny little thing called life just keeps throwing monkey wrenches my way. I am successfully dodging them though. I can't let anything get in the way of my successful quit of 91 days.
Yesterday's drive of 360 miles in the rain and busy Christmas travelers on the Pennsylvania & Ohio turnpikes was quite the challenge. I would not be truthful if I told you that I wasn't tempted to stop and buy a pack. I had to dispatch that sick thinking on more than one ocassion....I just told myself...."Self....don't be such an idiot....you do NOT do that anymore...." Now put a cookie in your mouth, take a sip of coffee and turn up the tunes and sing.....before I knew it...the thought was way back in my rearview mirror.
When I woke up this morning, I received an electronic text message and email that I was now officially in a "non-paid status" of the federal government. As being such, I am now "required" to follow certain instructions! LOL....So let me get this straight...you can't do your job, which is to balance the budget....and you tell me that while you are still working and not successfully performing your duties, you will be paid, and I who have always done what I am hired to do....well, I am to stay available and be ready to return to work when you call me and tell me to return....???? Great....no problem there....I am all over it.....not to worry....idiots...everyone of them. Merry fr##king Christmas....Oh yeah, make sure you come back to work and spend four hours cleaning out your office, and turn off your pc and shut down your equipment....for free, because we cannot pay you for anything during a furlough.....
omg, what a joke...but you know what....???a cigarette would not make it any better....
xoxoxoxo Pops with 91 DOF!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!
btw, what kind of birds stick together??????
