Last night Gator got a full dose of fluids. She was quite unhappy with me for poking her and making her sit still as the fluid poured into her. I could just tell that she was off yesterday. Her appetite was on fire and she just kept asking for can after can after can in the evening. I have a little bit of fluid left in the bag and that should be in her but she got the bulk of it. I am ready to toss it and spike the new bag that I picked up. We had an encounter at 4a because my body woke me up. She came to the door crying and asked for food so I passed out her first can of the day and then she came and sat with me in my lap. I tried to fall asleep but it just wasn’t happening. She on the other hand was out and deep into sleep. I hated to wake her but after an hour I wanted to go back to bed and try to sleep as I was drowsy. I mostly tossed and turned. My left shoulder and upper back have a knot in them and I worked on that a little bit but it need more attention.
When I got up for good at 7a, Gator was pleased to see me and of course she expected me to hand feed her. I did but I took care of getting my breakfast, getting dressed and medicated. Then I tended to her. I was a few minutes late to the computer but it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
I was working away and got really nervous like something wasn’t right. I poured over my work to double check myself and found nothing wrong. Then it hit. It was something I had done previously and HR passed out some bad information which caused a lot of chaos for me and a few others. My part is all ironed out but it took a bit of time. I am waiting for one final piece to come through and then that little bastard of a problem will officially be done. This was a unique problem/mistake that I never came across before. I am a little mad at myself because I should have caught it before it was an issue but too many things blended together and it just didn’t stick out. Thankfully I don’t work with life and death so it’s all good. Just frustrating.
Not much on the to do list for me today, which is kind of typical for a Thursday. I’ve got a meet up with the boss later today. It’s a touch base conversation that he has with all of us individually on a monthly basis. They are usually just a waste of time. He always counts on me to have nothing to talk about and is consistently late or asks to move the call up. I just hear the same BS about how much I am allegedly “appreciated”. He usually doesn’t have anything for me other than praise or compliments. It a call that lasts 5 minutes if that. While it’s nice that he has these I view them as a waste of time. If there is a major issue don’t think I am going to just hold on to it for a month, I am going to be contacting him to voice a concern. One good thing about me is that I am a communicator and try to ensure that no manager of mine is caught off guard or by surprise. I try to be as good as I can at what I do. I’m not perfect but I also don’t make many errors and when I do, I own them.
Wow I am suddenly ready for a nap. Wonder why? It’s way past snack time but I should go up to check on my girl. I know when she sees me she will want food. Today is also the fun day where I get to wrangle the trash and push out the barrel to the street. I never look forward to this task but on the bright side at least it’s a nice day outside, even if it’s hot. It really sucks to do this task when winter rolls around.
That’s all I know at the moment. Looking forward to the weekend, even though I probably won’t accomplish much I do enjoy a break from work. Next week it’s back to on-call and I really hate that but it will also mean that I won’t be going in on Tuesday, so there is good & bad with everything.
I appreciate your visit and hope that your doing well. Talk more later, bye for now.
