I saw a great movie called The War with Grandpa on Showtime. It’s not often that I laugh from watching a TV show or Movie but this movie did the trick for me. It’s a great movie that shows what happens when War is declared and how in the end there are no winners or losers only casualties.
Browsing my local paper on-line I found an article about a new restaurant. New in that I haven’t been there before. The place has been in business for a few years and I have always wanted to stop in but never did, a co-worker told me it was just overpriced steak and not that good. Well, I found out they serve pasta and I just had to try it. I stopped in tonight and ordered Spinach Lasagna. It was served on a platter in the size of a brick. I could have easily finished all of it but opted not to. I had already had some breadsticks and a Cesar salad. I stopped at the ½ way mark. I ordered a piece of cake it wasn’t the best but it was palatable. The article made this sound like a great get away and that there would be a friend waiting to take care of you. I didn’t feel much of the friend in the air but I was well taken care of. Got seated right away, didn’t have to wait but a minute to get my order in and service was great. I’ll be back to order something different next time and am eager to try their Cannoli’s.
Gator went to the vet today for a checkup. Good news she has maintained her weight exactly at 10 pounds and 1 ounce. I got more medicine and fluids; a large bill and we were out the door pretty quick. There was a scheduling mix up and the vet that I wanted to see took the day off so I got stuck with some new guy that I have never seen before. He was friendly enough but it really was upsetting to me. Gator has been upset ever since we got home. She has walked around screaming. I gave her food and she drank some water. That quieted her for a short time but then she went at it again. I really just wanted to take a nap. I finally had enough picked her up and she sat in bed with me as I manage to doze off for about 30 minutes. She had me up and got some more food and water, then spent time in my lap. Holding me hostage and she was out cold. I was thankful for the peace and quiet. I finally had to move her so that I could get out to the restaurant I talked about above.
No cat food shopping today. I am going to see what I can get for her at the store. I figure that nothing has probably changed at the pet food store and why be disappointed with seeing empty shelves again. I’ll go back eventually.
Work hasn’t been that bad but there have been some ups and downs at work. I found my co-worker made a bunch of mistakes. I got two complaints that I some how managed to field before they went through official channels and that managed to keep the spotlight off of me, even though it wasn’t my mistake. I fixed one of them and the rest I made him fix. I opted to audit his work going back for the past year. It was a silly mistake but he made it over and over. I don’t want to turn him in but he never offers me any reason why he made the mistake and even he acts surprised. I am not giving him much more leniency my patience has worn thin and the next little thing will send me screaming to the boss. Look I am not the brightest person in the world and even I am surprised that I have made it this far in my career but holy shit, I am doing it. If I can do the job then I can tell you for sure he should be able to do it just as good as me. I was trained by a perfectionist and I am a perfectionist in my job, there is no room for errors.
I am going to take care of the silly report and then it’s back up to be with Gator and heading off to bed. Tomorrow unless I feel different will be business as usual with breakfast out followed by a trip to the grocery store. Then home for the day and house cleaning, watching a podcast and TV. Followed by yet another trip to bed and then rolling into Monday. Isn’t this exciting! Not really but I could think of many things worse than this.
Hope all is well in your world and that life is treating you fairly. Cheers!
