Time Change Weekend

I don’t know why my body doesn’t like time change weekend.  I guess it’s the fact that I just lost an hours worth of sleep, didn’t help that I slept most of yesterday away and that I went to bed late.

My back was a bit of a train wreck from the previous week.  Being hunched over a computer is starting to take it’s toll on me.  I am seriously considering buying a gaming chair for work.  They were well padded and meant for you to sit in for long periods of time.  Plenty of adjustments and they are typically made mostly of leather.  Lots of bright colors and to go along with that a bright price tag.  I need to find someone who has one so that I can get some feedback.  I don’t want to waste my money but if it will help me I am all for it.  My employer got me a special chair but now that is no longer helping.  I don’t want to argue, get another doctors note or belabor the point.  If I can fix it on my own then that is what I want to do. 

This past week has been trouble, as per usual.  We had a cable cut with one of our ISP’s so working for the past couple days has been a bit of a challenge for everyone.  Thankfully repairs were made and everything is back to normal, just in time for a new work week to start. 

My problem child bothered the hell out of me asking me basic questions.  I don’t get why it’s so hard to fix things.  I think that if they don’t want to fire him at minimum they should demote him and the two of us should change jobs.  That would be a fair compromise to me.  I’d get a pay raise and a better title, he would probably get a pay cut and a title that would be more suited to his ability.  I’ve been asked to train him on more things.  I think they are working on building an iron clad case so that they can show he was trained, didn’t get it and there were multiple attempts made.  It doesn’t all center around one person as the trainer, there are multiple people and the outcome is the same.  If it was just me, then I’d think more along the lines that I was doing something wrong.  I was told to hang in there and that it’s being addressed.  I call bullshit on that but maybe it really is being addressed just not as swiftly as I would like. 

I need to adjust all of the clocks in the house, that is such a fun task.  Then there is keeping up with my weekend chores.  Not so sure that I will get everything done but I am giving it a go. 

Thankfully this is the last day of my on-call duties for 2 weeks.  I will enjoy being able to come home and leave work behind.  I don’t have any big plans for the next two weekends so we shall see what happens. 

The automobile is about to flip 10,000 miles.  Gas mileage seems to be getting better but maybe it’s more that I am used to what I am getting.  I really like what I have but wish that costs were lower.  When I look at replacing this vehicle I plan to get something that is less expensive all the way around.  This might have been a mid-life crisis purchase but it’s a lot of fun.  With warmer weather on the way I look forward to opening the sun shade and even cracking open the sun roof.  Driving is enjoyable provided that the destination isn’t for a task like grocery shopping, work, etc.  I am watching my pennies but look forward to my next pie run. 

Happy almost Spring and Happy Time Change Weekend.  Everything will be 1 hour shorter now and I will come home to day light eventually.  Be well, stay warm and best wishes for the week ahead.
