After finding multiple issues last week with my colleagues work and then finding another issue this week, I told him that I wasn’t able to keep this from the boss any longer. He’s fine with that. I told the boss and it sounds like he will be talked to for now and nothing beyond that. I did express that I didn’t want anything to happen to him because he’s easy to work with and we have a good thing going, plus I actually care about the guy. It was troubling and a difficult conversation to have with the boss but I wasn’t at a loss for words and articulated the issue quite well. I felt ill both before and after the conversation, it’s done and out of my hands. Since I am no longer in control that is troubling as well but this is one thing that I have to let go. It’s going to work out one way or another. Based on the jackass I was stuck with working with before he could fuck up a one car funeral and it still took two years to get rid of him. Him I wanted gone quicker and he only left because he found a better job not because the walls were closing in on him but I do think he saw the handwriting on the wall.
I’ve been having a lot of sleepless nights over this and thinking about various different ways this could all go wrong. Thus far none of them have come to light and hopefully they won’t. Gator has also contributed to my sleeplessness, waking me up just after I fall asleep or getting chatty after I turn the lights out.
Other than that things are going okay. Just putting one foot in front of the other and shuffling through the days looking forward to the weekend because it will be a break from work. It’s been a long week so far. Tomorrow boss man is out so that will be nice.
3 day work week for me next week. Thursday I will be at the doctor and Friday I am getting my oil changed. It’s not due but hasn’t been changed since January and I figure why put it off I have no idea yet of when I will be going back to work but want to be prepared because that’s when the miles will rack up and the oil life will decrease more rapidly.
Weather has been a little bit colder but the AC still manages to kick on at least once per day. It’s rained a good portion of the day and that is the forecast for the next few days.
Hope all is well in your world. I need to find some food for Gator before she gets more upset. Take care and we shall talk again soon!

Hi Jeremy,
I noted where you said you didn't know when you would be going back to work. What is the status of your doctor's request to HR that you continue to work from home? Is that still a possibility? Thanks.
Susan
Paperwork was submitted and I'm waiting for a final decision from HR. Meanwhile I have a temporary accomodation in place. I've been working from home and haven't been back to the office since I left in March 2020.
