Been gone awhile
« on: January 09, 2009, 01:53:15 AM »
I know I have not been posting recently, and just wanted to let everyone know that I am ok, and that I still check this site on a regular basis, however I have just not had enough time to post with school work taking up alot of my time. This also means I have not been able to get over to the Batfish as much as I would like to, and when I can it is only for a few hours when im coming over to visit my grandparents, and then on top of that I can only afford that one trip over since after all im a freshman in college, and everone knows we have no cash, lol.

Rick, and Mark, I want to apoligize for not coming to more of the work days, I really wish I could make it to more of them but it is really hard to do. I will really try hard on my spring break, and will be there for sure over the summer.

travis,

I understand, but remember a couple of things,

1. There is work that can be done for the museum that does not require you being here.   When you are here keep you eyes open for opertunities.  I will do the same. 

2.  You are always welcome at the Batfish.  Come out when you can.  Otherwise take care of buissness (life)

3.  You are still open for harrassment from the crew.  :)

Man - where are your priorities?   :knuppel2:

Actually, I understand.  Between my job, my contract job and 2 graduate courses (totaling 6 research papers this semester)...and on yeah, family time...I really do understand.  But I hear that sleep is over-rated.   :buck2:

Just come over when you can...you're on my email distribution list so you will know when we are planning a work day.

I was beginning to wonder what was up with you. hadn't heard from you in a long time. College is kind of overrated by high school teachers huh? ;)

yes it is. Currently I am in the architecture studio which eats up more time than anything, yesterday (the first day of the semester) I was in the class from one thirty to five twenty, then needed to go back at nin pm until one in the morning and I still did not get everything I needed to get done.
