So my old co-worker that I just talked with on Wednesday , I got word today that he passed away last night. I am glad that I listened to the nagging feeling I had to call him. I did deliver his message to the one person here (who oddly sits next to me) to call him. I logged in and sent an email but sadly she never got the opportunity. She was in tears when word spread. I felt really bad for her, it put me in an awkward position and sucked the life right out of today. Hey we all get busy and I understand that. However, you can’t loose sight of your friends and family, they are important and no one lives forever. As I am too frequently reminded.
I am back in the office after having a rough night. I woke up at 2a from a nightmare that someone was trying to kill me. I felt the urge to grab a soda and start eating. Before I knew it I went through 3 sodas, a bunch of candy and 2 cookies. I remember thinking there is no way I will remember this when I wake up and sadly I remember it all. I just couldn’t get enough to drink. I went back to bed and Gator knew I was having a rough time so she came and cuddled up with me and let me hang on to her paw which always help me fall back asleep. I laid awake for the longest time but eventually I fell asleep because I woke up at 5a and had to use the bathroom, probably all that soda. Needless to say I had to really push hard this morning but I made it.
I always mentally freak out before going back to work after having had time off regardless if it’s authorized time or sick time. I had some horrible jobs and horrible bosses that kind of put fear into me about taking time off. Happy vacation.
It’s been a really crazy busy morning and I am trying to keep our new guy busy, which is proving to be challenging. He still doesn’t have the same access as me and I am eager to get him going but I am waiting on word from the boss and purposely not asking about it. I think were having a stalemate and each one of us is waiting for the other one to ask about it. I will eventually cave but right now it’s just business as usual. Speaking of which I found that I will be moving back to the original building sometime between now and the end of January. The longer the better my chances that I will actually move into an office instead of my old digs. Crossing my fingers.
Marv isn’t feeling the best. Some stomach thing has been making it’s rounds with all of the kids. I stopped Momma and Marv from their meds because Momma had issues. I just started back up the meds this morning but before I could pass them out Marv got sick. I feel really bad. I know stopping their meds causes appetite issues and he’s been extra picky. I hope he is feeling better by the time I get home. I peeked in by camera a few moments ago and everyone is in hiding. It’s cold outside so they are probably all huddled up in my room, which is the warmest place in the whole house (year round). I look forward to spending time with him tonight and unless I get a call there is no reason why I need to go to the basement, so here’s hoping it will be quiet.
Well I’ve got about 5 minutes to wrap things up and get back to the old bump and grind. Traffic to work wasn’t that bad a lot of people I think are either still off or took extended vacations. So hopefully that will be a trending thing so the commutes for a little while will be easier and maybe quicker than normal.
Stay warm and be well. We will talk again soon. Cheers for now.
