Last night as I was wrapping up my work day, it hit me. Tomorrow is the 27th. I knew it was a special day but my mind drew a blank for a brief moment. Then it came to me. It’s my anniversary, exactly 3 months after my late partners Birthday. I picked today so he couldn’t forget it. While we were together for 20 plus years, we never officially celebrated an anniversary. Then we make everything legal and 3 months later he dies. Today would be our 3rd year. Where exactly does the time go? I’m a little bummed by the significant of the date and my mind won’t let me forget about it. I miss him tons and he will always live in my heart, so long as the blood is flowing and I am of sound mind.
On to other news. I made it to my vehicle which was semi-cozy but it still had a bit to go before it was warm. Heater on full blast, heated seat on and down the road I went. Got home and turned it off after closing the garage door. I got out and it made this god awful noise. I wonder if that is it’s way of saying it’s cold out? It’s never made that sound before and hopefully it will never make it again but time will tell.
I had this on going debate in my mind Soup or Chili? I opted for Chili, from a can of course. It was Campbell’s Chunky Roadhouse Chili. To that I added 1 mild packet of Taco Bell hot sauce and 1 packet of Wendy’s Hot Chili Sauce. Then into the microwave for a couple minutes and the fun begins. I didn’t have sour cream but I did finally remember to get cheese [it’s only been 2 weeks]. I cracked open a fresh package of saltine crackers and crushed up some of them and then put in the cheese. Stir and it was time to consume. It made canned chili palatable and was rather good. Nothing like Wendy’s chili but hey it was okay.
Tonight will be Soup. Beef Barley and I am so looking forward to it. The only good thing about the cold is that all of the bugs outside are dead. Outside of that it sucks, but it’s not my first winter.
Work had some busy time this morning but now that we have made it to late afternoon things are calm. I got a call from HR and there is going to be some potential new hires that could start when we come back for the new year, if not then in a couple weeks. Some employers are funny they will show you the door as soon as you show them your 2 week notice and others well they let you work the full 2 weeks. I hope that someone smiles on me and I don’t have to rush on Friday to enter in 2 new hires. I should know for sure then, but I don’t know what time. I may not get to leave early as I have planned but we shall see what happens.
I have prepped as much as I can for those folks that are leaving on the 31st. I am ready for time away but it will be short lived and then I will be back in the thick of things. My real time off will come during Martin Luther King Jr week. Were closed on that Monday. I work on Tuesday & Wednesday. Then I will be off Thursday to see the doctor and Friday to get my vehicle serviced. Plus the weekend so 4 days in a row off. I won’t want to come back after that.
Last night I got tied up with a computer problem. I use a program called Emby it streams movies through my wireless network at home to my Roku boxes. Most people use it to stream movies, not me I use it to stream porn. Well turns out that there is an update that isn’t applying right, so the server shuts down and when I go to watch, nothing happens. Yeah I know there is a pill for that but in this case it’s my computer that needs the pill and not me. I digress, so when I go to run the update it tells me that the computers administrator has limited the programs that can run on the machine and this program is a security risk. There is no override prompt, running it as an Administrator doesn’t work. So I got to looking on the net. Seems as if there is some extra protection from Internet Explorer that is enabled. There are plenty of sites devoted to documenting how to turn this off for multiple versions of Windows, except for some odd reason Windows 10. Of course I am the odd man out and running 10. I love it but trying to navigate this little circus of a problem is driving me insane. Momma was yelling at me that it was past my bed time but nothing could pry me away until I resigned myself that this will have to wait 1 more day.
My plan was pretty simple, remote in during a lull period an fix it from work. Well now it seems that my PC isn’t on-line, which is rather odd. It worked last night and I got to watch my porn from the comfort of my bedroom. I checked and the internet is up because the cat cam works. If only I could tell someone to go to the basement and reboot my machine I would be all set but there is a limited number of words that cats understand in the English language. Hungry, Food, Snack, Vet, Bed, Out of the way and Knock it off are my cats limits. I’m not happy about the situation but I’ll deal with it and I have no doubt I will fix the issue even if it takes me all weekend. Funny thing is that I can install the software on my laptop here at work and it’s running similar software as my desktop at home. Emby is a cool program and I have used it for at least a year if not slightly longer. They have a pay tier where you get some extra bells and whistles like being able to stream anywhere there is an internet connection. In my case that wouldn’t be beneficial but I can see how for movie buffs that would be a wonderful benefit.
So now I sit and try to entertain myself without doing anything illegal or immoral. There are fewer people here today than yesterday. As we inch closer to Friday they will drop like files. One guy came in because he had to and he was up all night with the flu and puking. I don’t want it. I mean I didn’t get a lot for Christmas but that is one thing I don’t want anytime of the year.
Bundle up, stay warm and be safe. I set the thermostat at 76 to keep the furry kids warm, so they won’t crab at me when I walk in the door about the temperature. They will crab because they are hungry but that is the norm. I’m off to play on my phone and look at hot guys and what is happening in social media. 2 more days of regular work in the week. I’ll be working on Sunday as well but from the comfort of my own home. How long I work is up to me and that depends on my mood which could be altered by many factors. I’ll for sure be listening to the police scanner and hearing about all of the happenings on the roads. It’s very interesting on a normal night, a holiday night well that makes for an even greater time.
Cheers for now.
