I just watched a news conference and public officials are already asking people to stay home tomorrow. They say if you don’t have to go out, don’t. If you can work from home, plan for that now. Looks like I won’t be going in this week at all. There is some after hours work a couple nights this week that is scheduled and I have a role in that so I don’t really feel any guilt for all of the time I put in and all of the help I give going above & beyond. I have no plans to go in next week since it’s only a 3 day week. The week after Thanksgiving I am on-call and I don’t go in on those weeks either, so looks like I won’t be back in the office until December as it stands at the moment. The whole staying home thing does get to me and I look forward to getting out on the weekends, kind of why I eat out and try to treat myself a little bit.
I was able to talk with a friend about what happened with the waiter. The advice I was given was wait the week out and go back on the weekend and talk with him then, see what happened. Unless I get an indication that he’s not interested I plan to ask him to send me a text message so we don’t have to rely on handwriting. I think that this is probably the best approach and I think I will get some clarity or so I hope. I pray that my heart can take whatever the end result is. Even if we wind up meeting up there is no guarantee that we will match but hey I could make a younger friend. I honestly don’t have a lot of hope for this but I do plan to see how this plays out.
It’s been an expensive afternoon for me. I got my holiday bonus and went shopping. The best purchase I made was a 32TB External Solid State Hard Drive for $199.99. I’m running out of room for my porn storage and storage in general is always a problem. This little gem should clear that right up. I can’t imagine that I will ever fill this up but then again I’ve surprised myself before. It’s a no name brand drive so I have some doubt but if it passes my initial testing then I’m good. If not I’ve got a brand name drive on my list that I can always buy. I’d like to get everything before Thanksgiving so that I can spend that weekend doing all of the moving and organizing of the data. As it stands at the moment my order is set to arrive on Wednesday. I could have had this early AM tomorrow but since I had some stuff coming on Wednesday I just configured it so everything arrives on the same day. I got my Thanksgiving Shirt. I went with a picture of a black and white cat on a blue shirt. I think it will be a hit but it’s short sleeves so not exactly sure how well that will work out for me.
I need to get a Chewy Order together for Gator and I plan to do that just after I post this. Then I should be done spending money for the time being. That little holiday bonus has been spent and then some. As long as me and my girl are well taken care of that is all that really matters to me. I am kind of scared about her with the events of last night happening and I need to make sure she gets some fluids at least one time a week regardless of how either of us feel. The rule of thumb is that if an older cat gets dehydrated once it’s going to happen over and over, hence why I have the fluids. She is eating like she has been on a hunger strike and we had a lunch nap together. I am looking forward to spending more time with her this evening, which is around the corner.
Hope you all have a nice evening and that you all stay warm and well.
