Ruined Evening

Morning!

Yesterday was busy and had it’s challenging moments but all in all I’d say it was an easy day.  That is until later in the evening when I got an alarm from work at 7p.  That sucked up the rest of my evening and had me making phone calls and typing away in various systems.  Someone clicked something they shouldn’t have and didn’t realize that it was working in the background doing malicious stuff.  That’s part of my job to deal with stuff like this but regardless when it happens on or off the clock, it makes time disappear.  There is so much to the process and so many tasks to complete it’s mentally & physically exhausting.  This was not how I wanted to spend my evening but to be fair I had been searching for something to watch when I just got into a show and then had to abandon it. 

The good news is that Rudy & Mora both slept through the event like nothing happened and when I got ready for bed they both came alive and were ready for play time. 

I didn’t last terribly long waiting for my medicine to kick in, my body was ready to give up for the day.  I was in bed by 9:30p and asleep by 10p.  Silly Rudy woke me up at 4a I guess he had a burst of energy and wanted to play.  I yelled at him and rolled back over.  He came back at 6a and I wasn’t any happier with him.  I’m not a morning person but if I get enough sleep it can be possible that I can seem like I am a morning person.  I like late nights much better but that of course is doing something I want to do and not work.

Played with the cats as I usually do after I am dressed and ready to head downstairs.  Mora’s claws are getting sharpened up and she nicked me a couple times.  I am ready to trim them again, that shit hurts.  She was cute playing with me.  She would bite me and I’d say OW and she knew to ease up.  She loves to nibble on my fingers just like her brother does.  However, she loves to play rough and I’m not that durable or in the mood for that kind of thing.  If she is chomping on a toy then I am perfectly fine to entertain her but when it’s me or my body she is chomping on, no thanks not a fan. 

Found out yesterday that the boss is taking next week off.  Hallelujah! So I just have to put up with his crap and dumb meetings this week.  Get me to the weekend and I’m home free for a week.  Also found out that the new person we are recruiting for will start off as a junior level person.  They will be a hybrid of me and the mistake maker, so each of us will have a part in training them.  I am not pleased about that at all but we shall see what comes to pass.  Hopefully, we get someone with more than a 1/2 a brain and some dedication to do a good job.  I think it’s going to be mid to late Summer before this person starts but I could be wrong.  There is a lot of internal interest in the position so it’s possible that we could have a person in that role sooner.  I hope it’s a no drama person regardless if it’s a guy or girl.  This could also mean that I have to go back to the office because we will want to have cameras on for some of our meetings to help acclimate the person to our team, I just know how it’s been in the past and how my boss thinks.  For now I am just fighting the good fight and keep putting one foot in front of the other. 

Now I am ready for a nap, who’s with me?  I do feel a little bit better but am still struggling in the morning a bit.  First thing I am going to do when I know I am done with this is change my toothbrush.  I can hardly wait.  I think that might be how I got re-infected but that’s only my hypotheses. 

Hope it’s a nice sunny day in your neck of the woods and that life is smiling on you.  Have a wonderful day!
