Balls

I thought I would check up on my work email to see what I managed to miss on a Monday.  In one way I am glad that I did and in another way I wish I wouldn’t have.  They are sneaking in 3 more people that all start on Monday.  That means extra work for me because right now I am the only person that can set up a new hire. 

I got the details on the first person and have most of his account setup.  I need some additional information before I can complete the process.  We have 2 days left in the week so I will need to check my email again tomorrow to see what is waiting for me.  I can almost promise you this will all be a last minute affair.  The stuff you want & need to move fast doesn’t.  The stuff you don’t need to move fast does.  That’s just the way it seems to work for me. 

I made sure my boss knew I was on-line and working, even though it was less than an hour.  It shows dedication and/or stupidity – probably both.  There could be a reward in it for me but probably not.  If anything it will just help to build my character.  This is the kind of things I am known for and I guess it’s just expected. 

Now I could have let all of this sit and then on Monday it would be a complete shit show because I would have to scramble and it would make my life more difficult.  I am all about simple so that’s mostly why I jumped into action.  I did turn email notifications off on my phone and I don’t plan on turning them back on until at least the weekend. 

So glad that we are closed on Thursday & Friday those should be email free days where only automated emails are generated and I should get nothing from anyone else.  That’s the good part about taking off during a holiday week. 

On a different note, I did run the Ozone generator again just to error on the side of caution.  Man that thing smells.  The basement is once again airing out.  I figured might as well do it when it’s 50 degrees outside instead of when the temperature drops to 30. 

I had a Stouffer’s Fried Chicken Bowl for dinner.  It was Fried Chicken Strips, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy along with Corn all in one bowl.  7 minutes later I called it dinner.  Not bad but certainly pales in comparison to a home cooked meal.  I did my research for the pizza place I want to hit up and unless something changes it’s a go for tomorrow.  I am already excited. 

Made my to-do list for tomorrow.  Thought about treating myself to breakfast out but then I remembered I bought 2 boxes of sugar cereal so that will be breakfast for me.  Got to eat that while I am off.  I can’t work and function.  Must have hot cereal and breakfast sandwich as my normal work breakfast.  I can add a little bit on top of that if I want but usually I just stick to that.  It’s boring but it gives my body enough fuel to power through until lunch.  Two stores to hit up tomorrow along with the post office.  Then I’m done until Saturday when it’s time to go back out for cat food.  I hate shopping as it is, but throw in the holidays and it makes it that much worse.  Wal-Mart was packed to the brim when I left for breakfast this morning and it’s been that way for about a week.  The store by me is open 24/7 and it’s got a grocery store in addition to the traditional Wal-Mart store.  I can tell you for  fact that very few people are there for groceries.  Most people are there to buy stuff for their kids, families, etc.  Part of me wishes that I had presents to buy but the other part of me is thankful that I don’t. 

I think about this time last year when the shit hit the fan with my brothers relationship and to think that less than a year later he married the crazy bitch.  Looks like he’s got some holiday shopping to do.  Sadly we haven’t been in touch with each other since his “mental breakdown” when he told me that she was with him.  I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than be tied to a controlling and manipulating person like her.  The single life does have it’s advantages in that you don’t have to answer to anyone and can do what you want, when you want.  Except in my case I answer to my cats, but outside of that I am free to do what I want.  So long as they get attention, food, water and their litter boxes emptied. 

Well off to continue to play on the computer.  I’m trying to get rid of an annoying notification.  Always fun to solve a problem.  Stay warm and we will talk again.
