Wood and Ice vs ComputersCategory: jobs
I am not complaining about how much money I make but ... I just met this guy in the sauna at the gym who makes $1000/day profit selling wood and ice products to other businesses and convenient stores. I am clearly in the wrong business despite how much I enjoy what I do.

Omg. Seriously. I went to see a patient today... I walk into the room- he's standing and looking out the window. He walks across the room (with no apparent difficulty), and sits down in the chair. Tells me he fell and broke his hand (which is bullshit, looking at his xrays he had a boxers fracture, which you get punching people/things, not falling). Says he wants surgery (i.e. wants more percocet)- saying he just wants to get better. Because he's a single dad, and he's out on disability. And on disability, he's only making $1000/week, not the $1500/week he was making before (as a garbage man.)
Wait, what??
This guy is on permanent disability for a neck injury from a car accident 8 years ago. Though as far as I could tell, there was nothing 'disabled' about him, and I can't see any reason he can't work.
But so this drug-seeking, lying, punching, guy is making more on disability, ie not working at all and being paid for it, than I do?!
Huh??

Maybe he was just hitting on you. ;-)
Wood and Ice products? That doesn't make sense. Is he like an expert wood and ice carver? Why would business and convenience stores want wood and ice sculptures? Are they the next BIG thing?
Seriously, WOOD and ice? Wood shelves, ice cubes? Who sells that combo? Seems made up. And why talk about how much you make in a sauna. So many things don't add up here.
Yeah, your moustache is that attractive, please change your profile pic. You look so sad (even though you explained you aren't.)

Yeah, no shit. I see people all the time who have a serious slice of the pie who are numbskulls. Not making any assumptions or anything of course.

Refinishing and reglazing windowsIs a pain in the ass. I keep telling myself now that I spend all my
freetine working on restoration that someday it will pay off when I
can't compute anymore.
I read one persons blog where they said that you can soften the old
glazing with a heatgun to remove it easier but I was afraid the
heatgun would cause the old glass to shatter so chipping and prying it
was.
That's what you call irony.
