Saturday

There is still a little adrenaline flowing but most of it has worn off.  I woke up far too early.  Falling asleep is easy but staying asleep is difficult.  I decided to tune into the 2nd Season of Making A Murderer.  I still have a few episodes to watch before I am finished and I plan on taking them in tonight. 

Big surprise there is a cute guy in the series who is a Law Student.  He’s not a lawyer but rather a student in law school.  Until he passes the bar he won’t be an official attorney.  At any rate his name is Kurt Kingler, give it a Google and you’ll see what I’m talking about.  He does have a wedding band on and there is a piercing in on of his ears.  Not sure if that is a fashion thing or if he is subtly communicating he’s gay.  He has no social media so no need to waste your time looking, I all ready did that and failed.  Gay, Straight, Married or not he’s a good looking hunk of man!

I was a little surprised when I woke up this morning that I wasn’t sore, I figured once things calmed down that I may feel some pain.  I’ve been laying down for a big portion of the day glued to the TV.  I doze off here and there. 

Went out to Cracker Barrel for breakfast this morning.  A father and his 3 children sat at the table next to me.  His oldest daughter who might have been 10 years old dropped her fork on the floor.  Then she looked to her dad who got someone to get her a replacement.  She left the fallen fork on the floor, as if she was too good to pick it up.  I wanted to interject myself into the situation and say you dropped this princess but I figured I would start a war.  I get that eating out is a treat but if you drop something you should pick it up, it’s only common courtesy. 

I have taken some time to get more familiar with my rental car, I figured out it’s a 2018 model and has advanced breaking.  Now if my vehicle would have had that it would have detected that stupid parking island and I would have been saved.  Ah well.  They have lights inside the vehicle by the mirror but not visible from outside that will light up if someone is in your blind spot.  Mine are on the mirror and visible from outside.  I think that is a basic safety feature that all vehicles that are built should have.  Tomorrow I will be filling the tank and hate to think what that will cost but it should be my only expense outside of the deductible.  I was going to be holed up for the bulk of the weekend but it struck me that I shouldn’t let fear run my life.  Hence why I went out for breakfast. 

My friend that I am trying desperately to get rid of, Mr. Cough, is still hanging around.  Mornings are the worst and right after a meal as well.  I just want to go back to as normal of a life that I can have.  I don’t want to constantly cough, it’s annoying plus people do look at you, like it’s going to transfer to them.  I know it can take months to get rid of but it was gone for a short while and came back.  I just want it to pack it’s bags and take it’s phlegm and fly off into the sunset never to be seen or heard from again. 

I got a call for work.  Apparently one of our princesses at work decided to come to town to help with the move.  She told no one that she was coming and she doesn’t have a special badge that works in our office.  So she complained directly to my boss and said that the elevators weren’t working with her card.  Yeah, duh.  I replied and in not so many words I explained that an emergency on your part because of poor planning doesn’t constitute an emergency on my end.  Your jolly well fucked for the weekend.  If you would have told me you were coming to town we could have made alternate arrangements but instead you chose to operate in stealth mode, next time be a little bit more open and share your travel plans so we can make the necessary accommodations.  She has not responded and I honestly don’t think I will hear from her.  She does this sort of thing all the time and this time it finally bit her in the ass, I am actually happy about it.  The best part of the whole things is that if she happens to go into the stairwell she will have to walk all the way back down because all of the doors in the stairwell require special cardkey access that I have no control over. 

Since I am talking about work, I got word that a manager that I have a crush on is leaving.  If I would have stayed in my current role he would have been my boss.  I put in for a transfer because of my feelings for him.  He’s married, has kids  We wouldn’t have been in the same office but nevertheless I felt it was for the best.  It’s worked out actually pretty well for me.  We still work well together but he’s leaving because of some current management changes that were made.  He begged them not to promote a certain person to be his boss and they did it anyway so he is jumping ship.  I don’t quite know who will take his place if they will promote from within or if they will hire direct from outside.  I kind of think a person from outside would be best but hey no one is asking me.  I was depressed about it when I heard the news and that has resolved into some simple sadness.  I have no doubt he will do well and they say everything happens for a reason.  I heard from more than one person who has left say that we under pay our people, he has echoed that as well.  I wish nothing but the best for him but I will miss interacting with him.  Doesn’t mean my crush will die. 

Speaking of crushes, it’s just silly how a cute looking guy sticks out in the crowd.  I can’t help who I am attracted to and if they are married, straight, gay, bi or whatever.  I am hypersensitive to good looking guys and always have been.  It’s a little for the worse now that I am single but I have no shame.  I mean I wish I would find Mr. Right for me but hopefully that will happen in due time. 

I am going to do some surfing and then head back up to take in the rest of the making a murder series, I am interested at what else makes it’s way into the light.  I have high regards for Kathleen Zellner and have ever since I learned of her in the Ryan Ferguson case.  She is a great attorney but getting her to take your case, is a tough battle but once you have her your all set.  I honestly had my doubts about Steven Avery but from everything she is finding that doubt is going away quickly.  Brendan Dassey I knew from the start he was railroaded and innocent.  They took advantage of a low IQ person and preyed upon him by browbeating him and feeding him the words to say in his confession.  The take away from this series is that this could happen to you or to someone you love.  The police are great people but you don’t want to talk to them without the presence of an attorney if your suspected or charged with any crime.  I love the law and most of those that enforce it, but there are a few bad apples in every bunch.

That’s all I have for now.  I hope that your weekend is going well and that life is treating you well.
