Isn’t this a nice photo? I figured it was a great way to start off a post. Being in shape looks difficult but man those muscle look really appealing. I’ve got that six pack and those muscle you just have to dig a bit to find them! HA HA.
I elected last night to just call it and work from home today, so I will be working at home full time for the 3rd week in a row. I have plans to go in next week just for one day and I am going to push very hard to make that happen. I’ve got a short week and it’s the least I can do. This week just isn’t the greatest with being on-call, having shorter staff and being hit with all sorts of unpleasant surprises that require immediate action or remediation.
I’ve talked before about this cute guy I work pretty close with. My initial impression was that he was uber smart and with it. Now that I have worked with him for 3 years my opinion has changed. He’s not that smart but he’s not dumb. Ever since he had his child his focus has been off and his mistakes have gone up like seriously way up. Yesterday I got hit with a bomb because he was out I had to take it. We are close or so I think but I realize that can turn on a dime and someone you think is on your side can easily shift focus. I don’t want to be that person but I am also not going to continually wipe his ass and clean up his mistakes. I’ve spoken to the boss man about some of it and he said it would get addressed. From what I see unless he makes a change he is on his way out, it’s going to take time for that to happen so hopefully he gets his shit together because he has the potential to do this job he just needs to concentrate and put in a bit more effort but that is solely my opinion. I am frustrated because I like him as a person and as a co-worker but the madness of cleaning up after people has to come to an end, it’s beyond frustrating. I had to do the same thing with the last moron that we got stuck with. This guy was hand picked by my boss and has impressive credentials. I am wondering if he is trying to get fired and using having a kid as being mentally out to lunch. When I was out with COVID he fucked up so many things that I spent a good amount of time fixing his errors. He doesn’t do well under any pressure and unfortunately pressure is part of this job, it happens on occasion but I tend to feel it more than anyone else. His last job had higher stakes but I suppose the pressure aspect wasn’t there. Experiences like mopping up after someone tend to make me feel it even more. I’ve also done a good job at suppressing a lot of this from my boss but I can’t continue to do that, it’s not fair to me. I don’t want my colleague to get fired or in trouble because that means that I have a greater chance of being on my own again and then having to train a new person both of which are experiences I want to avoid. However, perhaps a good ass chewing will get him in gear. Problem is our boss doesn’t know how to chew ass. All I can do is hang on tight and hope for the best.
This cat looks like Ruth, Gator’s late sister. They are twins except for the fact that Gator has a black nose. I’ve been thinking a lot about Ruth lately with Gator having issues. Ruth got a raw deal from life and I miss her incredibly. I wish I could have done more for her especially since we had a chance to bond a bit when she was seriously ill.
Gator did really good overnight but did come to wake me early this morning. I was in a dream where she roused me but didn’t capture my full attention and I was able to tune her out and go back to sleep. It was like I was unable to get up but then again I didn’t put any effort into it. I am trying to break her of this wakeup call business. She polished off all of the treats I left out for her. There was very little Crab and it was mostly Lobster. She sniffed it last night when I asked her if she liked Lobster and was quick to turn her nose up at it. I still left them out because I know that she has eaten them before when she was younger. Funny thing is that none of the cats would eat Salmon canned for human consumption or Crab from Red Lobster. I found both of those odd but interesting things.
Needless to say that since I ignored her early AM request she was really on my ass when I woke up. I got her a large can of food with the probiotic on it and she packed a good portion of that away.
We had a moment of confusion last night where she asked for food, I gave it to her but then she decided to keep meowing. I put her in my lap, I let her jump to the floor but eventually I just got up and told her to follow me, I picked up the food and placed it next to the treats and other can of food that was out. She made her way to the fountain and then went to her bed in the living room as if to pout. I checked on her before I went to bed and she was a bit surprised to see me but that motor started running. I kissed her goodnight and went to bed. I didn’t want her to think that I was mad at her, just frustrated and perplexed because I had no idea what she wanted.
I could have put in some effort to wake up and make it in this morning but as I said earlier I just resigned myself to staying home last night. I had plenty waiting for me to tackle this morning and getting an earlier start always helps.
I need to go check on the furry girl because it not too far off from snack time and I really want some Salted Carmel Yogurt. I am sure she will want a snack as well.
In other news the grass mower was by yesterday. They shoved a bill in my door but I have already paid them just takes time for the USPS to deliver the check. They tacked on a fuel surcharge which I refuse to pay. They are making bank on the job that they are doing and they short me on trimming missing at least 2 areas on my property. I have yet to say something but it’s coming. The fuel surcharge was not something I agreed to nor was it quoted when I was given a rate for their service. Besides that they have to come to my area because they cut the neighbors grass. What I find most frustrating is that they don’t put my name on the bill just the wrong street but some how when they cash the check they know me. I hate dealing with grass cutting people they are all dumb fucks! At least that has been my experience, all they care about is money and it shows. I don’t want to fire and re-hire because that is exhausting.
I also got a note from Amazon yesterday that my delivery was delayed and now my Mophie is scheduled for delivery today. I am sure it will be here today but I don’t have high hopes that this one will work any better than the others I have been through but I suppose there still are some odds however slim that it will work.
Happy Wednesday, hope you get to hump someone! I mean it’s hump day after all. 2 more days left. Take care and we will talk again soon, be well!
