Last night I thought I’d take a peek back at Amazon and the order that never arrived. Turns out I suddenly had the option to request a refund. I did just that and within seconds I received approval and a refund was issued. I’ve got a credit on my credit card as of this morning but I think that is from the dispute I opened. I am giving it a couple days so the credit from Amazon posts and then I’ll make sure the dispute with the bank is closed. I don’t understand why Amazon made this so difficult. However, it sounds like this is all done finally.
The pizza is all gone and it was really good. By now normally I would be sick of pizza but that is not the case. I don’t look forward to eating frozen food tonight but I am sure it will be okay. I’m having Fried Chicken & Mashed Potatoes. I plan to top the chicken with a little BBQ sauce to add a bit of a kick to it. I’m eating some premade sandwich from the store and I heat it up and put BBQ sauce on it. It’s not bad. Just wish I had my BBQ Fritos Twists to go with it.
Today is the day to get the trash out. We have storms that will be rolling into the area later tonight. With all of the salt in the trash can I have all the confidence in the world my trash can won’t blow over or roll away. I am more interested if the trash truck will be able to lift it to empty it.
In news at work, turns out my co-worker got a promotion. This was supposed to be a whole reorganizing of the department and we were all led to believe we would get different roles but thus far no change and I don’t think that any further changes will be forthcoming. Bully for him he got a promotion. I’m doing part of his job, he fucks up but gets rewarded. Meanwhile I am slaving to make sure that my team looks good and what do I get? The satisfaction of knowing that I am the glue that is holding the shit together. I don’t want to go into management and unless I’m missing something I think that is the only place where I could go unless a new role is created, I’ve climbed as high as I can go. It’s not about the title for me, it’s about the money. That’s why I am working. Funny thing is that when my co-workers title changes I will be the one who actually puts it in place because that is part of my job. How messed up is that? We all found out about the promotion in our meeting yesterday. That’s actually how the meeting started. Funny thing is he asked last year how he goes about getting promoted and what it would take. He did literally nothing and now he gets the reward. I had to struggle, put up with a bunch of BS and damn near come close to leaving before they promoted me. I worked for where I am at and I am very proud of that. I don’t think his promotion should have just been handed to him on a silver platter, I think he should have had to work a little more for it. However, that’s my opinion doesn’t necessarily make it fact and clearly I’m not in charge.
Ah Thursday so close the end of the week you can just taste it but we all still have to struggle for one more day. I learned that in a week my boss will be headed on vacation for a week, that will be nice getting a break from all of the BS and stupid ass meetings. Then the following week I am off towards the end of the week for a doctors visit. So there are a couple breaks I have to look forward to in addition to the upcoming weekend.
Rudy was all over me this morning from about 3a onward. I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep. He’s so sweet and means well it’s tough to tell him know plus he’s got the good looks going for him. He’s the one who won me over and is one of the main reasons why I took them in. I am thankful that he wants to be buddies and thinks so highly of me, I wish he would tone it down a slight bit and let me sleep. Morea I think gave up on telling him what to do a long time ago. They are quite a pair and do keep the day interesting. However, I still miss what I had. Yesterday was a mildly difficult day lots of past photos popped up and then my phone said I had new memories but they in fact were old memories that it had shown me many times before. I am moving on with life, but it’s with great reductants. I still have my times for wanting to check out but the thought that happiness might be around a corner is what seems to keep me going, despite turning the corner and finding nothing. Perhaps one day I will find it or it will find me. Until then I’ve got Rudy & Morea.
I know this post is probably discombobulated and all over the place, it’s one of those days where my emotions are here, there and everywhere. I’m not happy but I am not sad. My allergies are on fire and for some reason my feet hurt like I ran a marathon (not that I have any idea what that feels like) or did some power walking. However, it’s been my normal sedentary life outside of the time I spent on my feet last weekend with the work I did.
Time to get back to the fun at work. I’ve got a meeting to hit in a half hour and a few tasks to knock out before then. Not a whole lot going on today. Got a meeting this afternoon and after that I think I will be able to call the day done early. The benefits of working from home, when on occasion you can leave early and no one knows it. When it works out it’s really nice!
Take care, be well and I will talk with you all again soon.
