The workday for Monday is about done. Nothing terribly exciting to write about. I got to see a new Phishing tool that we are going to use internally against our employees. It’s pretty slick. A little cumbersome and confusing to understand but I think I will get the hang of it. I’m sure that we will be back to Phishing in no time at all.
I yelled at the new guy this morning. He tried to shovel his way out but kept digging himself in deeper. It was not fun at all but I need him to know the right way to do things. He’s been making some little mistakes here and there that a seasoned person by now should know better. He’s there to help me but I have to micro-manage him to an extent to ensure that things get done and then double check the work. He is much better than the dope that we were stuck with for two and a half years. I don’t want him to get to that level which is why I yell. I need a person who will be there to help me not to hinder and drag me down. I think I made my point and I told him that I didn’t enjoy being mad at him.
I was able to get in a nice nap with Gator. We curled up in my bed and my phone was on the night stand. No one bothered us until it was time for me to get up. I was very happy about that. It’s like the phone has ears and as soon as it knows I am about to get comfy it sends out a distress signal that says pester him. When I woke up I grabbed a quick bite to eat and then it was off to a meeting.
The afternoon has drug by slowly but that is the way Monday’s go. I had a nice breakfast of Cinnamon Oatmeal, a Lemon & Blueberry Muffin, a Banana and washed it all down with a small glass of milk. Marvin got me up at 3a and I am not exactly sure why. I did notice that the wireless tv box in my room lost it’s connection. I had nothing better to do so I got up and paired it back up. Then watched TV for an hour and was finally able to go back to sleep. He just meowed loudly like he wanted attention not the yowling that I had months ago when it was his knee. Lord knows I worry about him and his sister way too much.
In being bored today I dug up my last letter to my late spouse and had the computer read it to me. It took me down memory lane and reminded me how far I have come. Time stands still for no one [my late grandfather was forever reminding me of that]. I do think he would be proud that I was able to keep the family together, land a decent job, get a mortgage and push forward as difficult as it has been. I miss the company, his touch, his cooking and companionship. He was always proud of me but after his passing it truly was my darkest hour and I’ve come a long way, as they say. The bigger question now is will I make it out of COVID. I have my doubts.
I’ve got a classmate/friend in AZ and he had cancer and beat it. He tested positive for COVID. Sounds like he is recovering at home but he feels really bad. He’s a traveler, drinker and fitness freak. He lives life on the edge and eats way healthier than I do. That might explain why he looks better than I do as well.
Tonight’s plans are to wrap up on that Lifetime movie. I didn’t get to watch part 3 last night. I got lost down a YouTube rabbit hole watching old Tom Snyder videos. He was really a great host and reminded me of a friend that I had. It’s a shame that both of them are gone but no one lives forever [my late grandfather also was forever telling me that too].
Hope you had a great day. Talk with you all again soon! Be well and stay safe.
