At $200+/hour it is pretty easy to get to 40k/month.

The company lawyer and the auditor we used to have both charged more than that. Needless to say there was never any 'How's the kids?' kind of conversations with either of them. That is unless there meeting was strictly social and they couldn't somehow charge us for it


As far as a CEO goes, it depends on the size of the company. Disney's preso makes upwards of USD40 mill... or 3mill+/month

Hey, can this thread also be the "I don't wanna go to the gym so I think I'll shoot the breeze reading s2ki" thread?

C'mon, it is already 6 am. I should have been at the gym 15 mins ago!

Must-get-off-my-ass, must-get-off-my-ass.....

I actually prefer doing the workouts in the morning. I get home too exhausted to bother doing anything else but vege out. That, and I get home at 8:45 pm

I managed to overcome the sore pain from yesterday's pump class (increased the weights a little), drag my behind to the gym and do 3/4 of the normal workout. Better than nothing I guess

I'm fortunate enought to have a gym in the basement along with a pool, spa, sauna, electric walking machines etc so I manage to stumble into the elevator and make it down there 3 times a week at 8AM.

I can't work out in the morning. It's weird, I too prefer the afternoon/night.

I tried a couple of times and found that I had less energy in the morning to begin, than at night.

Ahh now, you see. I've mentioned the infamous "Slow Ducks" before. These poor, little, insane, mentally deficient but far superior ducks chose to have their meeting place near my house. But not so near as to be able to hear me typing about them. Because if they did their wrath would be unspeakable.

Tonight to prove to you that they do infact have a secret meeting place that is not-so-secret. I took a photo of their sign that designates their area.

Please do not try to enter this area. Please stay away from these ducks. They may be slow, but as I said before, I will NOT say this again. Or did I not say that I wasn't going to say that I was not going to not say this again. Hmmm... This is not the point however.

Beware,

I had a little op under local recently and the surgeon, noticing my anxiety, gave me two valium. Instructions were to swallow the first one and suck on the second like a lolly until it dissolved. I can attest to the effectiveness of this method (holy cow!) but, naturally, would not recommend it to others.

When I arrived home I proceeded to continue writing my memoirs in a style not dissimilar to Wilch's.
