Tuesday

The one day I plan on leaving early the two people who can write permission slips to get equipment out of the building decide to not show up to work.  There was a little snow and most of the office decided to stay home today.  There are a few of us that are dedicated or crazy (take your pick) that made it in.  I was the first one here and had 15 minutes to spare.  I’m damn proud of that!

I saw a job this morning and applied for it.  Like most jobs it says that a degree with required, that never stops me I apply anyway.  Well this place wrote me and said do you have a degree.  I said no but I have over 10 years experience.  To which they responded sorry no degree = no job.  Ah well, you get what you pay for.  Hopefully the monkey they hire that has a degree has an ounce of smarts.  Totally their loss.  I will have lots of other employers to pick from.  This one was fairly close to home so it would have been nice. 

In talking with a vendor today that does business locally they are all working from home.  They said the roads are horrible out.  Ah, okay I’ve got front wheel drive and know not to drive real fast I can weather it.  It’s 17 degrees here so that is why I think most people just stayed inside because it’s comfy.

Learned something today.  If you have an iPhone and transition to a Android phone or to anything other than an iPhone you have to tell Apple to delete your phone number, otherwise people with iPhones won’t be able to text you.  Reason is that Apple has a closed network for iPhone users and it sends text messages from Apple Devices to Apply Devices at no charge with iMessage.  Now I knew about iMessage and that it was free, meaning that it doesn’t go against your text messaging counter.  However, I didn’t know that they retained your number in their network until you told them otherwise.  I figured the carrier would tell them you got a different device.  No such luck.  So tuck that way for a rainy day, you never know when it will help someone.  The phone number for Apple is 800.275.2273 just in case you need to call.

Anxious to visit the post office and hoping that my calendar with the hot and hunky repair men is waiting for me.  I am sure the bulk of my mail with either be junk or bills – or both. 

Supper tonight is left over pressed chicken with mac & cheese.  I figured that would be the best way to get rid of the chicken and make sure that I didn’t have to throw it away.  It should be a filling meal. 

I watched Looking that new HBO series all about gay men.  Well it’s no Queer As Folk but I will certainly stick with it a bit more.  Not all that interested but who knows it may become appealing.  On the other hand I miss Ian on Shameless – I know he’s away in the military and his family thinks he ran away.  However, the character is gay, young and a ginger – cute too.  What more could you ask for?  Yeah I know an in person meeting. 

Big Boy delivered the present I was waiting for.  Turns out it was all good and the medicine seems to help him.  Less blood so I gave him another dose.  I hope it provides the same results.  I heard him breathing last night, wheezing away.  It is a bad thing when you hear that.  I know he is sliding further down the hill.  However, he still has energy and those eyes that look up at me and make my heart melt.  He’s my big black boy and I love him!

Okay so I am struggling for content.  Time to hand this post up and get back to work or maybe just find something else to do to pass the time.  :) other than work.  Talk with you peeps later.  Stay warm!
