Working double shifts again

[artimrj]

No not this time, so my little notice worked ;)

Just a suggestion Bob..... maybe treat yourself to a new gaming rig with some of the extra money? Your CPU model is 4 years old now.

With the decline in computer sales (due to tablet and phone sales), the prices and deals on computers keeps getting better and better these days!

Nah, I just got the GFX 760, that was like getting a new computer. I won't be even thinking about another one until windows 9 is settled. I have no problems running anything maxed out, including TS2015. My memory is fast and so are my hard drives. I fly, I race, I destroy in HD technicolor and have no problems. It is too nice to give to my wife anyway, all she does is shop on the internet and play Mahjong and Solitaire. I am looking at a bigger monitor though. Actually 2 of them.

[Chacal]

Make that 3.
With 2 monitors, either you have the seam in the middle or they are off-center, which is bad for your neck.
.
I have 3 monitors since 2009 and I could not work without them now.
My main one in the center is a 23" 16:9, on which I play games and do any graphic work.
On each side is a a 19" 4:3, they are the same height as the 22". I open secondary windows on them: Photoshop toolbars, signal charts or maps when running TS2015, etc.

Just pop in an old video card for the secondary monitors, use your GFX 760 for your main.

Here's my setup:

Very nice office and computer layout. Could you show us what RW looks like through 3 monitors?

[Chacal]

Unfortunately I've never been able to make it work.
I run RW on the center screen only.
Sorry Bob for the thread hijacking.

So I clocked 340 hours for November along with the other 2 guys who work the line with me. One of them actually had 380 hours. I got this weekend off! BECAUSE; since we did such a good job the boss made a bold move and ordered a container of granite from China which will be here this week and has 58 sold units on it. AND! AND! St John's and Marian Hall have 270 bricks for us to letter. We should be able to get that all done by the 23rd...

I made over $7K extra for November and I am tired. I worked like a dog to get a job done and did it so good he adds more cause he knows we can do it. Catch 22 all the way.

Your welcome and don't worry as I take everything for granite.

[TDHenderson]

I'll add my thanks to you as well, Bob. Thanks for being here for all these years, we appreciate you (and your better half too for keeping you in line).

My first day of vacation I got to sleep until 9 am!!! Of course I did not go to bed until 2 am, but, I did not have to get up by alarm at 4:50 am. I did however have to get up at 5 am to make a head call. Strange how your system gets accustomed to your habits. I got my usual 2K Christmas bonus from my boss and am going out to do some last minute shopping for the wifey. Seems like everyday she adds something to her list of things she wants. I mentioned previously how much extra I made in the last few months and I told her "Why don't you go buy them yourself, why do you have to wait for Christmas??" She is determined to make me leave the house and go into the chaos of the mall. I haven't been there since last Christmas.
