TAN #181: Sneak atTANcking a new one ... (Page 58)

car is fine.  the filter had fallen off only that morning (i found it in the street when i got home) so i really only drove about 15 minutes without it.

I sort of regret putting this out there.  I don't need people judging her/us...  But you guys have given me perspecting.

Things are ok...  Forget I said anything.  I'm just being stupid and stressed out.

i don't think anyone is judging.  i've had the same feeling in the past...just an icky feeling even though i knew better.  we're human, it happens.

That could be a Seinfeld episode.

that was MY chocolate babka!

Overt change of subject:

Jim.  Is it easier and/or cheaper to operate a boiler that pushes steam or hot water to heat large (1,000 gallon tanks of water) to about 165 degrees and which one will provide more temp control to be able to hold the water at a temp of say 140-150 at slowly increasing temp intervals.

Also, which one would be more efficient? 

And I'm a hypocrit most likely.  I'm sure the banter I say on BT would not be on her 'best seller' list of items to read...

But it IS a little less personal than phone calls and hanging out drinking wine...

Good question.  I think about that every day.

Nerds!!!!

This happens to me ALL THE TIME.

I can't help but be snarky sometimes and say "Well in the 2 hours I've had to work on this and other priorities, no it's not complete yet."

Bottom line..your relationship is both of you, not one person.  If something makes you uneasy you should say something.  It would be a disservice to your wife to not say something.  As you know, your imagination can run wild, better to attempt to understand with her help than let the imagination create even more tension. My $0.10 view from the peanut gallery!

Shocked that you are a nerd?? Really, did you not already know this???

No cake?

Lisa, this problem could be avoided with a little more involvement by your manager. I think you guys should do project meetings every once in a while...just to see if you need help with your work and such.

You will always be better off just heating the water and keeping it in liquid form than creating steam to heat if you only need those temps!  More efficient, now if you need instant response and cost doesn't matter, steam is the way to go.  Depends on what the process is, but I would stay away from using steam unless absolutely necessary.  My opinion, but it is a big chunk of what I do for a living.

Or just take cold showers, you wimp! Who needs hot water when you have a wetsuit?

Are you going to spontaneously break into rhyme?

I do like me some iambic pentameter from time to time.

Incredibly jealous.

I have drill this weekend. T-2 weeks until beach, though!

Now that sounds amazing!

I have eaten so bad this week! I took a week off after my HIM before I start my marthon training and have been eating all things I would not let me eat during training.

Man, this Wendy's hamburger is good though
