the one where he just is

Wow, you can almost cut the tension at work with a knife. I mean its business as usual here, but people are a lot more somber. I have a store manager trainee verifying claims this morning. He’s actually never done a box verification before. And I’m not used to help to verify on a Monday morning.

This weekend was pretty awesome. Saturday we went and had Crystal’s tattoo touched up. It seriously too longer for the artist to set up his station than it too to redo 3 letters on Crystal’s arm. I didn’t even get the chance to get into the tv show that was on. The inlaws had a party to go to, so we were on our own for dinner. We went over to Chen’s Buffet across from the super Walmart. We ate lots of great food, and even left a little room for desert.

Sunday I was bored, and my back was killing me. Instead of just sitting at home for the day and feeling sorry for myself, I decided that we would go to Roger Williams Park. We drove around and took lots of pictures of the buildings there. It was a really nice afternoon. After walking around, and at one point laying on the ground, my back was feeling tip top. I really think its how I sit at my desk. I love all the old buildings there, Roger Williams Park Museum of Natural History and Planetarium was founded in 1896. There’s lots of cool stuff in there, and you could easily spend a good couple of hours in there. But alas, (earwax) we were hungry, and soon after taking some pictures, we went to find food.

This morning was terrible, I got up and was immediately in pain. I made it over to the desk, and texted my boos, and Robin to let management know I was going to be late, and then I went back to sleep. When I woke up and hour and a half later, I felt much better. All of me just wanted to stay home, and just relax. However, we have a house guest upstairs, and she didn’t let the puppy out of his crate, so from about 6:30 am to when we left at 9, all the puppy did was bark. I don’t think I could have stayed all day with the puppy barking above me.

the one where he survives a monday

You know its bad when I’m jotting down notes before 8 am. The boss had the weekend off, and so did I. We had a kid from receiving that was supposed to cover the Saturday. I don’t think he did. (I found out about 7 hours later, he was pulled to do picks in the back room. They don’t seem to care that if OSHA came in, they could fine us, and even shut us down. Claims truly is THAT important.) He didn’t do anything in claims. It looks like a garbage dump exploded in here.

Am I mad? Not in the least. 6 months ago , Yes. I would have been screaming and tossing shit all over the place. I really think its a sign that I truly don’t care any more. If I was out, and my boss was here, she’d be having a shit fit right about now. It would have been dramarific.

All I know is that I’ll be busy today. And that’s the way I like it. (I actually was steady all the way through the day until about 3pm.

Shopping list!

• Milk
• TP
• Cereal

While I do have sleep Apnea, I’m pretty sure I also have a bit of Depression (from my mom), and a touch of SADD. Its raining and dreary out. I could just curl up and sleep all day, get up for supper, and then go right back to bed again. Its been a chore to keep moving at work lately. It’s just one of those months.

It doesn’t help that we ran a really tough 5k yesterday, and my legs are stiff. Its a good hurt. I had a blast running. Always do. But if its not a race, forget about it! I can’t be bothered!

Sorry for the bitching. I really hate to do it. But I just had to get it out.

the one where he has the case of the mondays

(Originally written on Monday the 16th.)

Another Monday at work.

Can there be anything worse than that?

Course, whilst at work, all I can think of is a million things to do at home. However, if I was at home, would I do them? Probably not.

The List:

• Put laundry away.
• Move the treadmill downstairs.
• Clean the living room.
• Clean the bathroom.
• Get a rug for the computer nook.
• Organise the books.
• Organise the computer nook.
• Clean the Kitchen.
• Load the dishwasher.
• Sweep the floor.

Only 109 days till Vegas (baby!). That’s my light at the end of the tunnel. That’s what I am looking forward too. But before that, there’s Inventory (49 days), and Black Friday (101 days). Work is just slogging along. It’s like I’m in foods again. I’m just not being challenged any more. Honestly I do what’s required of me, and not too much after that. Usually I can finish 99% of my work before lunch. Today, I finished before first break at 9am.

Maybe I need something new?

the one where he makes a list.

I know Vegas (baby!) is still 3 months, and 26 days away, but I feel I’m obligated to make a list of shit that we still need. I have to do this. I like to be organised. So here’s what we still need to do/get.

• Crystal’s wedding dress.
• My wedding gear. i’d like a kilt.
• A place that we can renew our vows
• A suitcase
• A list of the gear Crystal wants to take
• Am I going to run the Santa 5k?
• If so, what gear do I need?
• Peoples phone numbers, so we can get a hold of em in Vegas (baby!)

That’s all I can think of right now. Crystal, if you think of anything else, comment it. Anyone from Crystal’s running forum that stops by here, comment it, and I’ll update the post.

Make my brain stop thinking about something over 100 days away.
