Bored, Tired & Ready 2 go home

Through modern technology I am able to blog from work.  Yep, I am sitting at my desk on the clock with not a thing to do.  The boss is away, at least today – hopefully for the rest of the week.  Only time will tell.

So I walked in this morning and the door was locked.  That has never happened to me.  First time I had to use my key to unlock the door.  I was surprised to see people in the office when I arrived.  Normally when folks arrive they unlock the door so when I schlep in I can just turn the handle and walk right in.  We have so many new people that they probably don’t realize the door should be unlocked.  No worries I got in, so that is all that really matters.

I really am soaking up today being a down day.  I hate not having anything to do but that will all change soon enough and I will be busier than I want to be.  Lots of equipment on order, waiting for it to arrive.

I placed a couple orders this morning to put the finishing touches on what I will need to take care of WIFI next week.  Yeah, the arrangements are still pending but I am hoping to leave on Sunday or Monday.  As soon as I know something for sure, I will blog about it.

One of the new people told me they came in over the weekend and sat in my office.  They just love the view so much.  I wanted to say jealous much?  I didn’t though.  Normally things like that would set me on fire, I hate it when people are in my space when I am not around, especially if they move stuff in my space.  However, it didn’t bother me at all.  Most people here close their office doors as night and those that lock, are locked.  Not me, my door is wide open.  Everything that needs to be locked up, is. That way there is no worries of anything growing legs.

I talked with my brother last night, he is sick.  I don’t get it why so many folks this summer have been sick.  Summer is usually a ticket to freedom for me when it comes to being sick.  Fall, Winter and Spring are my bad seasons.  Summer, nope not a problem.  That is not to say my allergies have not gone nuts because they have, but I am managing.

Anyway, I told him that I would be gone for some where between 1 and 3 weeks.  Man he was really surprised.  I told him that is why I need his help with Big Boy & medicine.  I’m pretty sure if I am gone for 3 weeks and the big guy doesn’t get his medicine that it won’t be a pretty site.  Skipping 1 or even 2 days is the most that I would want to go, it’s the most that we have gone.  Well that is until the first time I traveled.  My partner did his best but there were more than 2 missed days.

So much to think about and plan for when you figure in travel.  A lot of the stuff I do like dishes, trash, cleaning are things that my partner can’t do because he has issues with mobility and balance.

Speaking of him, I checked in at lunch time and he is super sleepy today.  Doesn’t feel like doing much.  Sounds like we are going to go out for Mexican food.  I am always in the mood for that.  Maybe I can have some what of a relaxing evening or so I hope.  I still have to get the trash out, pack my lunch and finish laundry. 

I was hung over this morning, like crazy.  I took my sleeping pills late and was up later than I wanted to be.  I still managed to some how wake up from a nightmare 1 minute before the alarm clock went off.  Go figure!  It wasn’t until after lunch that I really woke up.

Funny all of these people passing by my office, seeing me type away.  They think I am working.  Got them fooled.  I just wish that I would get my new keyboard, I am so ready for change.

Speaking of which my job is still posted on-line.  I’ve done my fair share of looking but there really isn’t much out there.  All the more reason why I hope I can keep what I have and make it work, until something better comes along.  I want to avoid unemployment at all costs.  I simply can’t afford not to have a job.

Having a credit card again has helped me out.  My partner and my brother as well as myself all feel that I will over extend myself.  So far I have used it the way a credit card should be used.  Charge it up and when the bill comes pay it off in full.  Problem is that not having cash now and having available credit is all too tempting.  I do a pretty good job of managing but it would help a lot more if I got closer to my old salary.  Then I would worry a lot less.

That is all I can think of at the moment.  We are back in the oven this week, it’s SUPER HOT.  How hot?  Well I walked out of the house this morning in a white shirt.  With all of the heat it turned International Orange.  Ah, well it’s a good joke.  It’s really my new orange shirt.  My partner still laughs at me for buying and wearing it.  I guess because it’s so LOUD and I am not normally like that.  Take care, be well and I will talk with you peeps later!

Sounds like you had a nice relaxing day at work, yes those are nice once in awhile especially when you have run your butt off being busy before.

I'm glad you have a nice view from your office, that makes the day somehow a lot more pleasant!

Have a good week Jer!

Hey Jeremy...just checking in. I can relate to it being super hot. Down south I've been really sweating on my way from the apartment to the car. I didn't have a white shirt turn orange but I did get warm on the way to the car. I hope things continue to go well for you and your job. Have a good week!!

. yeah the heat is a killer. I am so ready for a cold front but not chilly just cooler weather. I'm not ready to break out a jacket or even a wind breaker just yet.

I look forward to an update on your blog. I'm headed there after I publish this.

Take care and try to stay cool!
