Looks like were almost to the finish line! One more day after today. I’ve got a few things going at work today so perhaps that will mean it will be a quick moving day. I suppose only time will tell.
Yesterday morning after I made my initial post, work was dead so I just went backup stairs to be with Gator. Got her a snack and watched a YouTube video and managed to fall asleep. My phone kept waking me up with stupid emails from work. It was stuff that I didn’t need to know or frankly just didn’t care about.
Finally woke up after a short bit. By then Gator had left me and moved on to the living room where she was all curled up in her bed and sound asleep. I grabbed a sandwich and a soda for an early lunch. Then went out in the garage. It was actually quite nice. I had a peck in my windshield and went to fix that. I didn’t quite have enough resin but I gave it a go. It didn’t turn out that well. I ordered another glass kit from Amazon and it should be here today. When I have another minute, I will try the repair over again.
Since I was out there, I opted to pop the hood and check on the air filter. It was fine and didn’t need to be replaced. I at least have a spare on hand when it’s needed so long as I keep the same vehicle. Getting the assembly apart was easy but putting it all back together is always a pain and I wind up straining my back each time. I sensed by the way the hood closed that the strut that holds the hood open is going. Over the winter it wouldn’t stay up when it was cold and I went to charge the battery. Now that it’s warmer weather it stays up but who knows how long that will last? The hood doesn’t get opened but for oil changes and if I need to charge up the battery, but since I have been going in once-a-week charging isn’t really something I do anymore.
As luck would have it, I got a couple of emails that I needed to tend to while I was doing all of this work. Quiet all morning and the second I go to try to be personally productive suddenly work needs me. Infuriating but that’s my luck.
When I got back to sitting in front of the computer after lunch, I did some clean up work and found some more mistakes that my colleague had made. I’ve been so patient and tolerant with him. It’s been 3 fucking years and were still no further ahead. He makes the same stupid mistakes over and over again. I had it. I sent him an email and looped in the boss. That will give those two something to talk about. I hated to do it but at the same time I hate cleaning up someone else’s mess constantly and it’s not like he hasn’t had plenty of chances to learn from his mistakes. I’ve been beyond patient and nice with him, time to pull the gloves off. My goal isn’t to get him fired or in trouble, my goal is to get him to stop fucking up and leaving something for me to clean up. I wasn’t hired to be a maid or janitor. My experience has taught me that Millennials aren’t the brightest people. They tend to forget easily. While I want a younger man if it means he’s going to be a dummy then I would just as soon stay single as frustration on a personal level would probably drive me to blow a couple blood vessels. I hope that my action doesn’t cause him to turn on me but for my own sanity I’m going to keep this process up when I continue to uncover his mistakes. It might just motivate him to stop making them. I wasn’t perfect when I was learning this job but at the same time it didn’t take me 3 years. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and this part of the job just doesn’t seem to be well suited for him, yet it’s pretty straightforward and simple. There are lots of moving parts and things change but overall, it’s simple, at least to me. I don’t give myself all of the credit I am due but I can tell you for sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that if I can do it, then for sure he can too.
My evening was pretty calm, I got a little bit of work stuff to do for about an hour and then I was left alone. Watched a couple episodes of Jeopardy then switched over to find something on You Tube. Got a shower and here we are again today to essentially do it all over again.
Really looking forward to the weekend just because it’s one day longer. Not looking forward to getting shot and I’ve thought about putting it off but I can’t benefit from it until I get it so might as well just get the ball rolling. I’m convinced that the 2 shots I got last year is what kept me out of the hospital when I got COVID in January. If I can get that same kind of protection again and for free, why not. I don’t want COVID again but I would like the peace of mind knowing that comes with getting vaxed. Just don’t want any of the side effects like the sore arm or the feeling wiped out the day after. Here’s hoping that things aren’t that severe for me when it comes to being wiped out.
Really looking forward to putting today behind me as the BS meter is on high today. A difficult person to deal with already this morning, two meetings today that won’t really be necessary but I’ve got to be there. It just makes me long for Friday and the weekend.
Hope your having a great day and life is treating you well. I should get back to the fun.
