Whining leads nowhere! Bringing this back to kayaking, I'll jump in here and say when my employer gives me a hard time I just try even harder, make them guilty - usually after a few minutes of sulking. But, then when I go out paddling, it's like, bug off all you boss jerks and pathetic co-workers, I'm livin'n life now baby, doing exactly what I want and going where I want to go, doing stuff you'll never do, nobody to tell me what to do. That's one of the aspects of kayaking I love. There's days I wish I could put a big sign on the beach, "Bug off everyone!" (keeping the language family-friendly here). Well, I soon have to go back to work to make a living though. When my boss goes to the Bahamas and my co workers go to Mexico and stretch out on the beaches, they are probably thinking the same thoughts about me! :-) I'll have to try that lying around on the beach in Mexico one day thing - naa, I just bought some new Chota Quicklace Mukluks, a new tent, and new paddling apparel. See you on the water, maybe the beach at the end of the day.
