Dangerous

I just found a danger to working from home.  You have free time, an Amazon account and a credit card.  Yikes!  I did it again!!

This time I got my 3 2020 Calendars.  Two of them are porn calendars – showing hot naked men and the other one shows only hot shirtless naked men.  I hang the naked ones in my office and bedroom.  The shirtless one is for the living room.  I mean you can’t just shock people when they walk in the front door, but then again I don’t give a damn because no one comes over.  Yet I opt to be respectable, just in case.  Besides that nothing wrong with leaving something to the imagination.  I got my Mucinex and some Dude Wipes.  I also much to your surprise ordered yet another pen.  This time it’s a Cross Nitro Rollerball in what color other than bright blue.  This is neat because you pull to open the pen and push to close it.  When I saw it yesterday I knew I would wind up ordering it.  I really wanted it in Purple but they want $99 for it and I don’t want to spend that kind of money on a Cross.  I dropped $24 which is the lowest price around compared to my local Office Max.  Hopefully, no other writing instruments will capture my eye for a very long time.  I have enough pens and ink in my house to cover a small city and keep them writing for at least 1 if not 2 years. 

For some reason it’s like a sickness I see it and if I like it I have to have it.  There are a couple of Mont Blanc’s that I would like to add to my collection but I have managed to keep those at bay, merely because of the cost.  Some people love watches, others like cars but me it’s pens, sweets, men and cats. 

Naturally because I place my Amazon most of my order will be delivered tomorrow but there will be one delivery on Thursday.  I think part of the addiction is the next day or two day that I just can’t seem to say no to not only pens but a lot of other things.  I had a thought yesterday what if Amazon went out of business.  I mean seriously they just shut their doors.  It would crush a lot of people.  Were in an instant society where things are way too convenient and it’s easier now than ever to spend money.  Hell most of the time you don’t even have the cash in your hand, it’s all digital bits.  The bank says you have money, you spend it and pay the bill electronically from the bank. 

I still need to get a calendar for work and I usually buy a train calendar because it’s a common interest that I shared with my late partners.  I would order 1 for each of us.  After he passed ordered one for the living room but changed to shirtless men because I like them way more.

Ah it’s 2 in the afternoon.  I’ve been on a couple of conference calls.  Boss man is feeling some pressure from a big project that he has and that has sucked up all of his time.  He has no time to police and were self sufficient so that’s a good thing for him.  I’ve got 2 departures this afternoon, which will be the highlight of the day.  I got to spend a little time with Marv and Momma when I went up for lunch/break.  I’ve been in front of this machine for most of the day.  I’ve been thinking about when I have to go back into the office, talk about a culture shock.  It will hit all of us (me and the cats) pretty hard.  I was thinking about next week but I may put it off.  I do like getting out but when I think about it all I do is travel to a building sit in front of a computer and then travel home.  Why spend the extra money and waste my time when I can sit in front of my own computer and never leave home.  There is good and bad to this, just like anything else in this world. 

Last night the phone rang at 10p someone lost their mobile device.  Wow on a normal week night I would have been in bed asleep but I was up watching TV taking my time falling asleep.  Thinking it would be more restful.  Nope, I had a nightmare at 4a and it took me about an hour to fall back asleep.  I just had to find Marv before I went back to bed and there he was all sound asleep until he caught the flashlight in the eyes and that woke him up.  I felt bad but needed to know he was okay.  He wasn’t feeling well last night and scurried away from the bedroom early. 

Well there you have it my daily blathering.  One more day of work.  I’m hopeful that someone will want to cover my two days of on-call but I am prepared to work the evening part as long as they take care of any urgent stuff that comes up during the day.  That will give me time to see the doctor, have my blood drawn, eat breakfast out and of course travel for pie (presuming I go through with it.).  Saturday a little painting and some cat food shopping.  Sunday off to a new grocery store and breakfast.  Then it’s back to a full 5 day work week until I either get sick or Thanksgiving comes.  Turkey Day is 4 weeks away and I will have an entire week to myself.  No work at all and I so look forward to it.

Hope your having a great Tuesday.  Be well and stay warm.  Talk with you again soon.
