Yesterday afternoon someone at work reported they were having problems on a shopping site; it just wasn’t working. I couldn’t believe that someone would have the gall to report they were shopping on company time, using company resources and complaining because it wasn’t working. That’s something I just couldn’t make up if I tried to. I investigated it and sure enough they were right the site didn’t work. I told them to use a personal device to reach the site to remedy the issue. I had thoughts of making a big deal out of it and shining a spotlight on this person but opted not to. If management finds out about it great but I’m not running to tell them. I see all kinds of stuff but that one really takes the cake.
I placed an order yesterday for a plant to be delivered to my great aunt’s memorial service, regardless weather I go or not I felt it was the right thing to do. I did it from my home computer not my work computer. I was astonished by how quickly the bill added up. The delivery charges particularly are highly inflated and I am clearly in the wrong business. I get a high delivery charge if I am asking you to rush something last minute or even a day prior to the service. However, the service isn’t until next week. I don’t order flowers or plants often but damn every time I do, I am just flabbergasted with the price. They show the price of what you’re ordering but when you go to checkout there is sales tax and then they tack on the delivery fee if you’re not picking it up. Honestly, it would cost me less to pick it up and deliver it to the funeral home on my own but I’ve already paid for the convenience factor and I don’t think many people deliver their own flowers/plants to funeral homes but I could be wrong. I see they delivered my order this morning despite me telling them it didn’t need to be there until mid-next week. Guess that’s why the delivery charge was so high – I mean at least they were prompt.
Also yesterday, I had a Buffalo Chicken wrap for lunch, all of the hot sauce sunk to the bottom and the last bite was quite good but hot. I only ate half which means that I still have one left. Not sure that I will buy this wrap again but it was nice to break up the everyday boring what’s for lunch.
The cameras were going crazy during my meeting yesterday. I had a cat outside running around. It looks just like Rudy but its paw tips were only white in back. It was enough to make me do a double take but I knew there was no way either of my two could possibly get out, short of me hearing a lot of noise before it happened considering I am home. I thought I saw someone post a photo of a cat that looked just like what was roaming around but I went to the app and can’t find it for anything. I think it will be setting off my cameras for a while unless something happens to it or someone manages to catch it. I only saw it on camera and not up close. I have looked and looked but no sign of it. I don’t dare bring a strange cat inside that would upset both cats, not to mention the exposure risk to disease as well as damage/destruction and cat fights. I do not need that at all. However, if there was a way for me to get it trapped and checked to see if it’s chipped, I would at least like to do that. If not to get it back to its owner to get it off of the street. I’m guessing someone somewhere is missing the poor thing but then again people do tend to dump animals in my neighborhood. That’s how we got Momma and shortly thereafter her kids, then years later Taz and Blu. Right now, for me 2 is enough and sometimes more than I can handle. Yes, I would like more but I have the common sense to know that isn’t a prudent thing to do and I don’t want to upset what is now a happy family. The balance is perfect.
I had one meeting I was really dreading but the person canceled on me and we moved it to next week. At least the pressure is off for now. If they would just read the invite, they would see there is really no reason to meet but I will be too happy to point that out. My boss thinks everything needs a meeting, drama and discussion. Nope some decisions are made quickly and on the fly. Not everything requires that much effort and energy.
Spaghetti and meat sauce was for supper, I had some of it and saved the rest for tonight. A dish that I picked up from the store so it was just heat & eat, which is what I like. Not much a fan of frozen food but I still eat it. Had a Raspberry Danish for desert and washed it down with a glass of milk.
Worked needed me to work late last night so I did that as well, not fun but I got the job done and then moved on with the evening. I hate last minute surprises like that. They knew all damn day long but waited until I was eating my supper to bother to tell me.
This week feels like I was on-call as I have pulled all of the weight which is what the on-call person does. Next week I am really on-call and after that I can relax for a week before it all comes back full cycle again. Normally I would get a 2-week break but since the mistake maker is out and the boss is on-call that’s why it’s only 1 week. This will go on for a couple months and I can feel the burn out coming, despite trying to fight it off it will still happen. I haven’t put in for any time but am thinking about just taking a full week once the mistake maker is back so that I can be free from work and relax for a bit. Mulling that one over but it’s probably going to happen.
At the moment my schedule is wide open and there isn’t much going on. I am savoring this as I know it’s a short-lived reprieve. We have rain & storms rolling in today and for the weekend. Glad I haven’t washed my vehicle yet. Looking forward to my massage tomorrow night.
Hope all is well your neck of the woods. Thanks so much for stopping by.
