Late in the afternoon on Friday we got a message at work from one of the managers about an issue that someone was having. The next thing you know I am on a conference call with Upper Management and were wasting an hour. I got a task assigned from this and was happy to help out. I just wanted to leave and get my Steak N Shake. Just when I got in the car and was ready to pull out of the garage I got an email that said were almost ready for you. I turned the car off and came back in the house. Waited and with in 30 minutes I completed my part. I knew full well that this wouldn’t resolve the issue, in fact I found out hours later that it actually made things worse but I did what I was asked to do. Typical case of management not listening to a well seasoned worker who knows his stuff. I tried to discourage them but it didn’t work and that’s why they call them stupidvisors.
When my part was done I left and hit up Steak N Shake. Damn I got a lot of food, full of grease. There was some flavor there. I couldn’t believe that I used to eat this for breakfast and then lump in a shake on occasion. However, it was a nice trip down memory lane. Just wish they could have done it with less grease.
After I was done and had moved on to do something else I got a call that told me things were worse instead of better at work. I answered all of the questions that were asked and I think they figured out where things went awry. All I know is that was the last I had to do with it. I’ve been getting emails throughout yesterday evening and into this afternoon. I expect another one tomorrow. It’s like the weekend never happened because I am engrossed in work. I agreed to help out throughout the weekend for this issue, even though I am not on-call. I won’t get any extra pay for this. However, there are some folks that will see a financial reward. It just makes me look good and considering pay raises will come in the late summer anything I can do to keep up my good reputation and be helpful I hope will be rewarding in the end. It remains to be scene but time will tell.
I got to surfing YouTube and came across a psychic that was doing a reading regarding Riley Strain. She went on and on but the crux of her reading was that he’s dead, he is hiding in plain sight and should surface today (Saturday). Saturday would be a big day for the search. There is more to the story and clearly he was drugged. I listened to her go on and have been keeping watch on the story all day long. Thus far he hasn’t surfaced. The longer this goes on the more I agree that there won’t be a positive outcome to this. The psychic thinks that he fell in the water. Someone took his shirt and killed him, because someone came forward and said that a homeless person was seeing wearing a similar shirt that Riley was wearing. Then I came across some other live broadcast where this guy was gathering facts, saying that he was going to TN to help search for him, then it was maybe he will go. He said he wanted to talk with the family. He sounds loonier than the Psychic. I hope that Riley surfaces soon and his family can get closure. I don’t think they will get the news that they are wanting in that he’s safe and returned back to school. The whole things is a tragedy that could have easily been avoided, but that’s hindsight today.
My day has been dull but interesting at the same time. I got my massage and she was lighter this time and I felt a lot less pain but I know that I will probably be a little sore tomorrow. I was groggy after I was done. I booked another appointment in two weeks. Then I went to fetch cat food and come home.
I sat around for a bit watched a little TV. Contemplated about several different places I wanted to go for supper but for some reason I wound up throwing caution to the wind and going to a new location of a chain restaurant that just opened a few weeks ago. The place was jumping and packed. I walked inside and they told me it would be an hour for a table. They weren’t kidding. I attribute that mostly to the fact they don’t have their act together. It showed to me in the way things played out. Finally my table was ready. A teenage couple walked in dressed for a formal event and they got seated right away just before me. I was a little upset about that in that I had to wait but they got a table right away. Turns out I sat behind them. The guy was cute. He looked at me but I am not sure why. I wound up buying their meal as a surprise. It just spoke to me as the right things to do. Damn they weren’t cheap and they had no clue I was picking up the tab. I got to surprise them and they were shocked. I got a thank you. Meanwhile my order apparently was never sent to the kitchen so I had to wait for my food longer. I went to this place because I thought it would be quick. Some two hours later I got to return home. Not exactly the way I wanted to spend my evening.
I threw caution to the wind and started laundry. I am just playing on the computer and Mora is tap dancing on my last nerve. She wants attention and wants to cuddle. I am not in the mood for that right now. There is a time and place for everything. Funny thing about the basement they both bug me to come down here all week long. When I get them down here they just beg me to go back upstairs. They are free to return upstairs but don’t want to go up without me.
Tomorrow I plan to grab breakfast and hit up the grocery store. Need to grab the mail as well, haven’t done that yet. I wanted to do it after I was done eating but I left the house without keys. I know that sounds odd but I use the garage to enter and exit, the door to the house is unlocked. However, I set the alarm before I leave. If the garage opener fails or I loose power I have a lockbox outside where I can get the keys from. Had to do that in the super cold weather when I left on a Sunday for the store and the garage door didn’t want to open all the way. I do lock the door in the garage from time to time, so as to vary things. However, no one will ever know if the door is locked or unlock unless they get past the garage door to try the knob for themselves.
I’m quite bored today and restless, I want to get up and go but not exactly sure where I want to go or what I want to do. Might grab dinner out tomorrow night. I’ve done my good deed for a while of buying a stranger a meal. It’s great to surprise people and see the reactions on their faces. The kindness of a stranger is something I have experienced a couple times but it’s not something that I think happens often enough.
Hope your day has gone well. Talk with you all again soon.
