Knocked Up Again

Morning

Yesterday was a busy morning and I got to talking with my mistake making colleague.  This was a conversation he started with some shocking and unexpected news.  He has been absent a lot and had some “appointments” I figured he was job hunting.  Turns out his wife is pregnant again.  This was an accident that slipped by the pill.  He got a vasectomy recently.  That explains everything, he’s not job hunting at all.  He told me that he was done when he got to 2 kids but now there is a 3rd on the way and it’s the last one for sure.  He’s got 2 boys and the 3rd will be a girl.  That’s going to be different for him but he’s excited.  Due date is September 1st the day before my birthday.  Last baby came a few weeks early.  Thankfully he told me that he’s not planning on taking a bunch of leave at once, he’s going to try to limit it to one day per week to maximize it.  Of course that’s subject to change.  All I know is that for sure it means he will be out a lot more next year as the new Childs immune system develops.  I’d hate to be in his shoes from a money standpoint kids are expensive!  Happy for him but I wonder if it’s going to drain more of his brain cells and he will become dumber?  Only time will tell. 

We yacked on the phone for about 2 and a half hours.  I told him about the cats, which I had no plans on doing.  However, I got comfortable in the conversation.  He said that he’s happy I have them.  I told him it was a choice I had to make jump off a bridge or get a cat.  Our conversation went all over the place from personal to business and back to personal again.  I think were in a good space but I’m not forgetting about how he fucked me over when Gator passed, I still hold resentment for that and always will.  He said that he thinks of us a friends.  Yeah I said we are friends.  However, a friend doesn’t abandon you in your time of need.  He’s a co-worker that I am friendly with but he’s not a true friend.  The only think that keeps us talking is the job and if it goes away so will our conversation. 

Long and short of it is that yesterday was busier than normal because I got to talking and didn’t get a whole lot done for a couple hours.  Then had to scramble to get things done and decide what could wait a day. 

Chili was for supper last night, in case your wondering.  It was pretty good.  Had some Ice Cream for desert because the Chili was on the slightly spicy side. 

I had no idea how I managed to get through yesterday without a nap I was seriously sleep deprived by 3 hours.  However, I just managed to keep myself going even when I got to a lull I felt tired but had a soda or something to eat and just powered through.  I was quite proud of myself.  Slept like a rock last night until 5a and that’s when my body wanted to getup.  I got back to sleep for a little bit but was up by 6:30a and out of bed. 

It’s been a long week and I am ready for a couple days of rest or at least time away from work.  I still plan to visit the office just to see what if anything is on my desk.  I’d love to have breakfast out tomorrow at a fast food place but I know I will struggle with getting out of bed since I really don’t have to, other than to feed the cats and then I am free.  Freedom tends to bring out the lazy in me. 

Hope you have a great weekend.  Now back to Friday work.  Got a meeting with the boss today, that was supposed to happen yesterday but got pushed to today.  Take care!
