Morning! I hope that you had a great weekend & holiday. I finally got nachos and they were “just okay”. I tried to get a Philly Cheesesteak but we had some storms and that caused a lot of power problems. The place where I went on Monday was only taking cash and no cards so that canceled that out. I will go back to try again perhaps over the weekend.
All 4 days went by way too fast. Speaking of 4 the cats are now 4 years old. They celebrated their birthday’s yesterday and it was just another day. I did a good amount of sleeping yesterday and even turned into bed early as the fireworks started. I turned on some extra white noise but that did something but it didn’t drown them out entirely.
Went to my friends house and had a meal, it wasn’t the usual dried out burgers they had a little bit of flavor but weren’t done to my satisfaction. There were a ton of sides and they started the meal with salad but I opted out of that. Who eats salad on the 4th of July? They always wait about an hour after everyone is done before they serve desert, I hate that practice but I waited. For the first time ever I left shortly after I was done with desert. They were talking about church, ancestry, travel and those topics were causing me to yawn they were so boring. I might see them around the time of my birthday but the next time were all together will likely be Thanksgiving. They do have a Labor Day block party but that is an outdoor thing and I am not a outdoor person when it comes to food and fun. Between the heat and the bugs I don’t have a good time.
As you might well imagine I came back to a mess in my inbox. I peeked on Monday night and shuttered to think about coming back this morning. I am caught up and now it’s just meeting city today. I’ve been to two already and have 2 more to go, which are back to back. Then unless something comes in I am pretty well free for the rest of the day. We have today and tomorrow with the boss and then his ass is on vacation for a week and a couple days. I look forward to the silence. I have no plans to go in to the office this week but I do plan to go in next week. This week is only 3 days and it just seems a bit much.
Just got a call from the boss, we have to meet tomorrow about the email I sent him. He wants to resolve whatever my concern is and try to get me feeling better about work. It’s like he never read my letter and I can easily see me flying off the handle and telling him to go fuck himself but I will listen to whatever it is he has to say. I don’t know that I will have much to contribute. I think this is an exercise to try to brain wash me or help me to forget what my concern was in the first place. I can’t or won’t forget how my review and pay raise were less than what I truly deserved. Either he can fix this or he can’t. If he can then fix it and if he can’t then tell me so. I tried to get him to spit it all out now but he told me he wasn’t fully prepared. He acted like he had no idea what my concern even was. I fucking hate games that makes me go bananas. I’m very close to my breaking point so I have to try to restrain myself as best as I can.
Speaking of games. I had a former boss come to town and put it out that he was up to see old friends. I threw out multiple suggestions on getting together but rather than come out and say that he would prefer not to catch up with me, he played games. It got to a point where I just stopped responding because I got the message he was sending without saying the actual words. I will never interact with him again, come back or don’t come back I don’t care. This is the same boss/friend that I traveled hours to see his mom’s wake during COVID. I have had enough of the cold shoulder and games I know when it’s time to walk away.
I didn’t accomplish all of the tasks I had planned but I got a good portion of them done. Really the only two things were hitting up a store to look at new shoes and to hit up Sam’s club. I am overloaded on Bakery items now so it really made no sense to go to Sam’s for just soda. I plan to hit up Target this weekend and I will grab some soda there and that will give me the chance to eat some of this bakery stuff but I can easily tell you there will be something left. I’m surrounded by chocolate cake & muffins. Me and my memory aren’t exactly what they used to be.
On that happy note, I see there is some more work headed down the pike and I am going to jump on that. I am not exactly depressed today but I am not exactly happy. I am much better when I am away from work. Suddenly a week of vacation doesn’t sound like a bad thing to me.
Take care and I hope that all is well and you are staying hydrated, cool and life is treating you well.
