About Me

- Former adult teacher who loves island beaches. Happy homebody and family man; once devoted dog owner, now without Tashi, my Tibetan Terrier. I prefer the absurdity of the imagination to the absurdity of imagining nothing.

SAM: I am so burned out with school and my job. I would like to get away.
JAS: Yes, you should! It would be a good change for you.
SAM: I am sick and tired of this job. I want to take off.
JAS: If this job is taking over, why don’t you find another job?
SAM: It is a good idea! I should find another job because it is hard to afford vacation. If you see any opportunity please let me know.
JAS: No problem, slow down, and take it easy.
Molly: Burned out! What do you know about being burned out?
Fred: What do I know? You need to slow down, really, you do.
Molly: Now, you're really taking over my life. What business it of yours?
Fred: Man oh man, I'm so sick and tired of arguing and hashing this over again and again.
Molly: Maybe we should get away? I don't know; maybe you're right. I've been working awfully hard lately.
A: I am burned out through work and I come down with flu.
B: I think you should get away on a vacation.
A: But, I don’t have money. My girlfriend just split up with me and she is the one who took off.
B: I am sorry to hear that. You will get over it soon.
A: Yes, I need to fight it off and get down to work.
Sam: Are you all right? You look sick.
Emma: I don’t know. . . I have these terrible watery eyes, sniffling nose.
Sam: Have you been working hard lately?
Emma: No, not that seriously. I think I’m coming down with a cold.
Sam: No, I don’t think you aren’t coming down with a cold. . . I think you are allergic to something.
Emma: Allergic . . . Who, me? NEVER! Oh wait, come to think of it, I think I do. . . I’m allergic to YOU, Aaa. . . choo
Son: Dad, if you ask me to take this extra Math class, I’m going to burn out.
Father: Don’t be lazy. I don’t think you put your body and soul into your study. If you take this extra course, next term you will get in the Advance Math.
Son: My talent isn’t on the Math. I’d like to go on to the extra computer program.
Father: Stop thinking to take any chance to play computer game. You’d better get down to your courses this term, and get better marks, especially the Math.
Lisa: I really think I should get in a MBA program. It'll help.
Eric: Well, if you really want to get down to that job, probably you should.
Lisa: Yeah. But my only concern is the timing; you know Bob just got over that Russian woman. If I start this competition right now for his job. . . .
Eric: Hey, hey, honey, don't think too much okay?! We are getting away to Cambodia! Relax, we're about to take off.
Lisa:Okay, you're right. I'd better decide this later after the holiday.
Tom: HI, Jack. (Coughing…) When will you take off?
Jack: The flight to California will take off at 3:00 PM.
Tom: I’m Happy to tell you: I’ll set off to California to go on to the same project too, next week.
Jack: We all welcome you to get in, but you are coming down with a cold.
Tom: No problem. I’ll get down to my cold: taking medicine and having a good rest.I’m fighting off the cough and will get over next week.
Jack: I need to get away earlier anyway, see you California.
Bob: I saw Tony this morning. He didn’t look very well. May be he came down with a cold.
David: Not really. He is in bad mood. He doesn’t get over the pain of divorce.
Bob: Then, he should get away on a vacation. It will help him to fight off the depression.
Daivd: Poor guy, he just got in to a new and tough project. I don’t think his manager permits him to take days off.
Sarah: I’ve worked two weeks in a row and I’m scheduled again for this week! For God’s sake, my manager is taking over my life!
Hannah: That’s because you put your body and soul in to work more than any of your co-worker.
Sarah: But still, I’ve run out of steam already. I can’t be schedule for this whole week again. I’ll burn out!
Hannah: Well, I think you need to get away then. But it’s not going to be this week because the schedule is already up
Sarah: Yeah, guess I’ll just have to grin and bear it.
Chris: She should really be growing out of that sooner then later.
Jeff: But what if she doesn't? Should I just get over it and move on?
Chris: I wouldn't say that exactly. She wont get in trouble at the rate shes going anyways.
Jeff: Maybe your right. But sometimes I think it would be best to get away for awhile.
Chris: Taking off wont solve the problem. It will only cause unneeded stress.
Jeff: Yeah that makes perfect sense. I really just want to make peace with her so we can move on.
Chris: Just give her time and space. She will come around eventually, on her own time.
Jeff: Your right. Thanks again. I really need to get back to work though.
Chris: Of course. I'm glad I could help a bit. I have to take off as well.
Mike: What's wrong with you? You look awful!
Jason: Yep. Unfortunately, I came down with a flu and I'm running a fever.
Mike: Oh, you should take off. Don't work too hard. I think You are almost a workaholic!
Jason: No way. I must get down to the work at hand and go on to a new program.
Mike: Okey, so take care and get away from your work after you finish it.
Jason: All right, I will. Don't worry!
Old Priest: Can you read this article for me my friend? The print is too small for me.
Old Man: Im sorry Sir, I haven't got my glasses with me.
Old Priest: Maybe God has the same eye problems, so he can pretend not to see the people who commits sins.
Old Man: How about the people who does good to others?
Old Priest: Well, for that, of course God never leaves his glasses at home.
