Email

I woke up this morning to find that the mail server at work is down.  A bunch of alarms fired overnight but I can’t open the messages because they need to download from the email server.  Email is a big way a lot of people work and without it were at a dead stop.  There are plenty of tickets asking for help and the standard response is what is given … our engineers are working on it.  Okay but since I am on the inside, I’d like more of an explanation but since I am not in the office it’s difficult to get that.  I mean I can’t send an email and ask what’s up.  I can’t call in through voicemail because that is attached to email.  I can call from my cell but no one will pickup based on the caller id because they won’t know it’s me.  So here I am on an island of my own, with little to do. 

In fact based on my view of my calendar today should be quiet as Friday’s typically are.  Another reason why I stayed home. 

I got 2 showers this morning.  1 when I jumped in the shower and the other when I went out to retrieve the garbage bin.  It was pouring to beat the band and it’s very cool outside.  Being in short sleeves it was rather enjoyable.  The sump pump has been running off an on all night long.  This is the type of rain I need to check to see if my problem is solved.  Based on what I see I’d say yes but I have to physically put my hands on the wood to get that comfort feel.  I am highly considering painting with the mold proof paint that the pros would have used.  That kills odors as well as covers up the stain.  You don’t want me coming at you with a paint brush that’s not my Forte.  Since this is a cramped confined area I’m thinking a can of spray paint would be best.  $7 and I’m done.  I am pondering my options.  Of course that won’t fix the floor. 

Momma came running to me last night and I noticed she was slightly wet.  She picked at her sore again and she was bleeding pretty good this time.  I got her to the kitchen and cleaned it up.  I put some skin calming spray on it.  So glad I gave in and ordered her collar which will be here today.  That is the only way I am going to stop her from getting at this and allowing it to heal.  Crazy woman.  At least she wasn’t afraid to reach out for help.  I’m her savior/hero and she has never forgotten that.  I think our bond is stronger than gorilla glue.  She is my girl. 

I saw appetites increase a little bit yesterday for everyone and that was heart warming.  I think the change this week with having me at home has caused them some concern.  Never fear because next week will be here and I will be going back.  Maybe not all 5 days but for sure on Monday.  I didn’t actually think I could stay here an entire week without going insane but I have managed pretty well.  I am more than eager to get out tomorrow.  I am also eager to sleep in with no interruptions and being able to turn the phone off. 

My newest crush is Adam Rippon.  Jesus he is cute and he can do something I can’t.  Skate.  I was obsessing over his IG photos last night.  He did a naked photo shoot skating for ESPN and he was in fact totally naked.  There aren’t photos of the front there are plenty of photos of the rear and what a nice rear it is.  What can I say I’m boy crazy. 

Speaking of which I am looking forward to Sunday night.  Tindr has a game going, it’s the end of the world.  You get asked to make decisions and based on your answers you are then shown people who answered the same.  It’s 100% free.  A little time consuming but interesting.  Crossing my fingers that I get a good match.  It’s tough to judge a person based off looks and their profile.  I’m a pretty good judge of people but most of that is from seeing them in person and how they react.  Being single isn’t the end of the world but it’s lonely and I’d like some companionship besides the 3 cats. 

Well back to staring at the screen to see if the mail server is fixed.  I think it’s going to be a very long day!  Hope that it’s a great Friday for you.  Take care and thanks again for stopping by.
