I don't know if it'll help your situation, but this is a reason I started taking morning classes at my gym. (Not super early morning, I'm not awake/coordinated for that.) I found that I don't sleep well if I don't get some kind of exercise during the day. Also, classes require me to force my butt out of bed because I have to keep their schedule. Or go when Li'l Z is at school. But I find I have more energy if I do my workout before 12pm.
3 Days from now, they are going to find out the site was built on top of an Indian Burial Ground and THAT was the cause of all that bullshit.
That was dedicated to Cthulhu.
The two fitness classes I've been looking into lately both take place in the evening, which will decidedly NOT help because yay exercise high, but at the same time might help in the long term if I can keep my motivation up since I'd be going with people I know, and I always function better in general when I'm not a lump.
Did you get get laid off or quit? Do you have another job lined up?
I sound like someone's dad. heh
I was laid off.
That sucks. I feel for you
It sounds to me like the first good thing they've ever done for him.That sucks. I feel for you
But hey, now you don't care that they know you are seeking a new job!
This isn't too terribly far off. It sucks, I'm going to miss all of my friends, and it's going to put even more stress on a few people that really, really don't need any more. But it takes a LOT of stress off of me, and means that I don't have to ALT+TAB out of indeed.com anytime someone walks by my desk.
That I do. And, actually, the company that it would make the most sense for me to get a job at, LSI, went out of business in the last few months themselves. Apparently no-one can manage cabinet companies these days.
My parents have seen a lot of their customer base in the custom cabinet/countertop manufacturing go down the tubes, particularly with the economic downturn. It was like once they started to slide they just couldn't recover even as things improved. The one customer that has been consistent for them works with just the owner and one or two other guys in the shop.
No one wants to relocate to Alabama.
It would probably be a tough sell for my wife, unless it came with a very substantial pay raise. What part of Alabama?
I'd paint our flag on my red Corvette (which I guess I'd name Geddy Lee) and sell jugs of maple syrup from the trunk. Real, strong sippin' syrup.

Birmingham. I have no idea what it pays, but trust me, you don't want to move to Alabama.
Have you considered Brussels? Only Trump claims we're a hell hole. Though ever since, our radio station has rebranded itself to Studio Hellhole (instead of Studio Brussels), our subway stations all say "Welcome to the Hellhole", our airport has hung up banners saying "welcome to the Hellhole", the traffic announcers have listed it as the Ring Around the Hellhole (instead of the Brussels Ring), and our mayor has taken off his disguise and shown his hooves and horns. Well, ok, the last one's made up. Still.
I love Alabama, actually. I lived in Sylacauga for four years. Only been back to Birmingham once since then and that was back in '02. But you're probably right - I probably really don't want to move back.

My biggest problem with this is why does everyone care so much about what that blowhard says?
My grandfather's family lived in Sylacauga for a while, a long time ago. I think he might have been born there. Or it might have been Childersburg.
Especially when he's really just an insignificant foreigner to the Belgians
Gah! "Mommy there's crayon on the rug. I didn't do it. I don't know how it got there."
Same reason we cared what Bush jr said. He might become the most powerful person on the planet, representing the Western world.
Thus, he's constantly present in us media and we know about him.
Holy crap if my children get any crankier I might have to tranq dart them!
I can't sleep and it feels like my SI is being pulled apart so sitting isn't good either.
