Downstairs all day

I returned to nothing short of a nightmare and worked the bulk of the day doing clean up for things that someone else should have taken care of while I was out.  Lots of things fell through the cracks, including the daily report I talk about.  Apparently it wasn’t all that important so while I was out it was okay to not do it.  Now that I am back it has to be done.  I don’t get the double standard, but whatever!

I got paperwork from HR for my doc to complete.  They need it back in 10 days.  As if that is going to happen.  Were in the middle of a pandemic and garnering my doctors attention right now is difficult at best.  However, I passed the documents along with the deadline.  I know that if he doesn’t comply within the timeframe they need, my request will automatically be denied and they will remove the temporary allowance.  Kind of silly because regardless of what they say approved or not, I have no plans to go back until the spread of the virus slows.  I suspect this will all come together and my feathers are ruffled for no reason but I am still pissed that they just don’t say it’s okay, work from home instead of involving the governmental process it seems insane because it’s well within their power to just permit this instead of the extra effort & stress they are putting us through.  

Gator has asked for me to come up a couple times.  I was up at lunch and to take some bathroom breaks.  She is a little upset with all of the time I have spent in the basement but she isn’t going hungry.  I have ensured that she is eating well.  She woke me up 3 different times in the middle of the night.  I woke her up once by accident because I didn’t know she was in bed and I rolled over and hit her with my hand. 

I didn’t go out for that burger I wanted last night.  Instead I just finished off the left over pizza.  I ate it cold so there was no chance that I would do further damage to the roof of my mouth.  Now I am back to wondering what I will have tonight.  Small mystery because whatever it is will be coming out of the freezer. 

I am beyond tired today with all of the work I did.  I haven’t worked that hard or long at work in quite sometime.  I guess I should sleep really well tonight.  I am all too happy to just get away from the computer and turn on the TV.  Hopefully, my phone stays quiet but I am not on-call until next week. 

Hope you had a great day.  Talk with you all again soon!
