Not really CH related

My wife has been really stressed out with my CH's lately and last year as well. She's been working at a hospital 30 miles from our home, so has a 60 mile daily commute, which she really hates in our New Hampshire winters. In addition, she has an idiot for a boss, has lost half the staff in her dept. because of this guy not giving the dept. the $ it needs for the resources it needs; she's performing 3 of the main functions of the department alone and is basically totally burned out. Today is he giving her notice and has accepted a job at the hospital right here in town where we live! She is walking on cloud 9 and I can already tell the tension and stress have lifted for her. I'm very happy  and maybe this bodes well for our household as too... just had to share - Jim R

Sounds like the change will do you both a lot of good. 
Sure hope so.
Are you near Portsmouth?

Just trying to pronounce it gave me a migraine. Now I have to go lie down.

It's true that good things happen to good people. Please give your wife congratulatory words from me. Reads like life will better for both of you. Now her boss can lay in the mess he created.

ChristineL,
No, never been there. I have a good buddy from my Army days that has a great little newspaper there. The New Hampshire Gazette. Ever seen it?
Out here we have a Winemucca. It's not a lake, just a spit in the road.

Thank you Nancy!
Now Nancy, Goffstown (south of where I live) sounds like a lovely place:
"Goffstown is a scenic town with twin mountains, forested hills, winding rivers, and an attractive New England village center. Recreational opportunities, including hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, snowmobiling, skating, abound. In 1998 the town added a privately constructed championship public golf course to its assets." (from the Goffstown, NH web site)
It looks like quintessential New England... PFDAN's to you sis.

Winnipesauke-----
A beautiful place. Went there several times with my family when a pimply-faced teen-ager. Even flew over it a couple times. And yer right, it's pretty big. Mom and Dad fell in love with New Hampshire.
Hope this works out Jim. You do sound happy. :^)

Hey Jim ... I think it was the lovely lake in your description that prompted my father to move ........ seems they were flooding us out to build it. LOL. Glad I could be a part of making Goffstown such a lovely little community !!!!! Too bad we moved south where the running waters did not flow ...... New Jersey .... can't say that that is one of my favorite site-seeing states. Ah, but NH is beautiful ... all of New England is. PA living on a beautiful river isn't bad either.
Take care bud.

Nancy,
Yes, NH is beautiful as well as Maine (born there and lived there for 21 years) as well as the rest of New England...and PA is too - drove through there when I was coming home from working in southern Ohio...come to think of it, lived in southern NJ for a short stint - around Cape May, which wasn't bad either. I'd actually like to retire, get rid of these frigging headaches, win the lottery and travel around the world!! LOL!

When I first moved to PA, not long after crossing the state line, I thought, "Damn... If their highways are this ugly, I wonder about the rest of the state." But then again, it was December on the Pike, so the highway was dirty with all the ash they'd put down. Coming from MI, I wasn't used to the ash. I guess some areas of the state is nice, especially in the east... But the city I live in is an ugly little place in the middle of nowhere. LOL

I'm not sayin' the whole state is bad... I'm sayin' this city (city?? Where I'm from, this place wouldn't even be a small village. LOL) is drivin' me crazy. And the Pike was just a first impression. Now that I've been here for a while, I hardly notice the ash in the winter. But the primary reason I'm still here after near 6 years... My wife won't move... LOL PA ain't too bad (except for the damn auto inspections. At least I don't live in Pitt, so I don't need an emisions test... My car would never pass.) I can definately think of worse places to live... Like CA... Horrible place... LOL
