In an effort to curb the neck pain I am having, I took a sleepy muscle relaxer yesterday evening when I got home. Once it kicked in which was hours later I was out light a light. Problem is that I came home and had to work, then got a shower and I can’t tell you what happened after that. As a result of taking the aforementioned pill I slept away the biggest part of the day. The children ensured that I was awake to feed them Breakfast and Lunch. We wouldn’t want them to miss a meal, now would we? Poor little dears they have it so bad.
Once I decided to get up for the day I settled on supper at Red Robin. It’s a gourmet burger place where you can easily drop a weeks pay to feed your family. Thankfully I only have to buy for 1 at the moment. In any event I got a bowl of chili (way too spicy), a Whiskey River BBQ Burger which came with fries. Diet soda to wash it all down. This was by far the crappiest tasting meal I have had out in a long time. I gave feedback on their website and provided them with my contact information which oddly enough is a requirement. I’m not looking for a handout, a coupon or anything else. Just get your shit together that was awful food. They used to be good years back but I guess everything changes with time and not necessarily for the better.
Stopped to pick up more food for the little dears and then grabbed the mail. Yeah it was a super exciting day. Plus I am also on-call. I had one issue to deal with, which I could have easily ignored.
Last night I worked for 2 hours double checking my co-workers work. There were several issues that caused interruptions the biggest one was a virus that I had to get rid of. Our AV software caught it but it puts a lock on the file and you have to know what your doing in order to be able to delete the file. The overtime will look nice on my paycheck at the end of the month but honestly I would have rather had my sanity last night, my eyes were starting to go south on me from staring at the monitors all day and then into the evening.
The biggest highlight of the week is that someone fell for a Phishing campaign and got their LinkedIn account held hostage. Actually they some how managed to erase all traces of the guys email address so when he tried to recover his account the site said, sorry pal I don’t know that email address. Same thing when he tried his cell phone number. I of course was his hero and got him his account back. It took a little bit of searching but there is a contact form you fill out. LinkedIn Customer Service reaches back out and you have to supply them with documentation that you are who you say you are, then and only then will they release your account. As soon as you report fraud they suspend your account. My bosses boss asked me to take care of it and I came through shining like a diamond. I was pretty proud of myself and my accomplishment. Especially since now management is tasked with crafting staff reviews and this may in fact make my review. The odd thing was my dummy co-worker had been notified of this and he was just sitting on his hands, so it’s a good thing I got involved.
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. It will be an extra sad day for my brother. He was closest to Mom. I still can’t believe she is actually gone. So you know restaurants will be crowded but the grocery store shouldn’t be because everyone is busy treating mom and grandma to a meal. I plan on waking up early (that depends upon what time I go to bed) and then heading out to breakfast before the rush. Then on to the grocery store and finally gas up my automobile and I will be done with running for the day. Life is but a routine.
Charlie Puth’s new album Voicenotes came out on Friday. It’s great work and I enjoy most of the songs. There are a couple that don’t thrill me. I listened to it on the way in Friday via Spotify. That kid has great looks and great pipes. He’s also rolling in the dough if you know what I mean. So lucky to have ‘made it’ at such a young age. I gave some rethought to going to his concern when he is in my neck of the woods this summer but then shot it down quickly. I could do it but there would be aggravation of crowds and traffic which doesn’t thrill me. If he was at a different venue in my area it would be a different story.
Caught up on my TV viewing. I see NetFlix is going to release a teen gay comedy series, which I am looking forward to. Plus the next episodes of 13 Reasons Why will be out next week. Love, love new content and can’t get enough of it. I need stuff to watch while I enjoy my lunch as well as occupy my evening when there is nothing on the TV.
Grass man somehow forgot how to read a calendar. My yard should have been cut this week but hasn’t been. If he’s not out here by next week there will be trouble. I sure hope this isn’t going to be an on-going theme. If I have to have a problem I would it rather be that he cuts too often instead of not often enough. If he would just follow what we agreed to my yard would be fine.
The Pierre de resistance for last. I saw an SUV of my dreams last night. It was the right color of Blue and it shined like a diamond. 4 exhausts and with the brand name of Maserati you know that it’s got some get up and go. The price tag would bankrupt the average person. You can lease it for a mere $749 per month. I thought I had a high car payment, at lease my payments are going to own and not to lease. I looked it up online today and it’s just as beautiful online as it was in person. Not sure why but suddenly I have developed into an auto lover. Let’s hope this obsession doesn’t get out of hand.
Here’s hoping your week was enjoyable and that the sun was shining in your neck of the woods. Looks like we have once again skipped Spring here and gone right into Summer. It was in the 90’s today and next week were looking at 80’s and 90’s. Air Conditioner running and the power company is holding out it’s hand with a smile on it’s face. BOHICA that’s a military acronym which stands for Bend Over Here It Comes Again. See you might have learned something. :)
Thanks as always for stopping by. Now I am going to watch TV and hope that I am not up all night. Need to be able to be ahead of the crowd tomorrow. Be well, talk soon.
