08/13/2007 Entry: "The day of LWOP!"

Over the weekend SAM mentioned in passing that I might think about going half time at work. This worked on me Sa & Su and by Monday I was ready. I got up at 0800 and drove from the boat to GR. There I told my boss that I wanted to go 50% LWOP (Leave Without Pay). It was approved later in the day> I guess the plan is to work Mo & Tu one week and 3 days the next week.

What prompted all this is my seeming inability to adapt to the aysymetrical vision caused by the cataract surgery. Add into that a major floater and I have a vertigo attack. Throw in lack of sleep and you have a recipe for something that is not very good. Today was a little bit better with the news that I have a hiatus from the saltmine.

Actually, I like my work when I am working. It has been quite slow for the last month and it is driving me crazy - another reason for LWOP.

The third reason is to see if I can ween myself from CASH. I see, I want, I buy - no more - gone - kaput. Small amounts of cash expenditures rule.
