Wednesday Things

Well, let’s start with Tuesday.   When I got to work, there were 39 unread emails waiting for me.   Normally, I have 1 or 2.    The job descriptions are all changing.   I have to convert Word documents to PDF, save them to the server and then link them up appropriately.   By the end of the day, I had over 60 in total.    It’s going to be a busy day, just with that, and mark my words, there will be a ton else to do.   🙂

My mom has been so kind to send, what I think is, her entire collection of vintage cookie cutters.   My daughter asked why.   I told her that some of them are hard to come by, and grandma must want us to make cookies.

It is freezing here.   Yesterday in the afternoon, the temperature was 7 degrees.   The windchill was -14.   My boss said that it was really cold outside, just having returned from lunch.   I went out expecting to be frozen.   It was just another cold day to me.   Once you’re below freezing, the temperature all seems the same to me.

Sorry about that

Sorry about the unsolicited jetison over to 九一九色国产.  I’ve decided to move because:

1.  I haven’t moved in a long, long time; and

2.  I like some of the functionality of 九一九色国产, like protected posts.

 In other news, I am catching a really crappy cold.    My throat and chest are all irritated and icky-feeling.   It’s my first real cold of the winter, so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much.  🙂

Today, I actually had a meeting with my boss.   In the past, I was supposed to meet with him once every 2 weeks.   Due to things being insane around the office, we have not met in roughly 6 months.

He developed a long to-do list for me, which is fine.   Every now and then, direction is a good thing.   My first assignment was to write something for the newsletter about help desk hours and procedures.   He explained he would take artistic control over whatever I wrote and probably change it quite a bit.

Oh really.  🙂

So, he added a word.   🙂

The Weekend

Meet Mr. Silver iPod Nano, a completely needless acquisition, given that I already have an iPod shuffle that is reasonably new. However, 4 gb of storage space and visual identification of the music I want to listen to allows me to quickly get to:
“Lost Without U” – Robin Thicke
“Who Am I” – Point of Grace
“That’s Where It Is” – Carrie Underwood
“Feel Good, Inc.” – The Gorillaz
as often as I like. No more flipping blindly through music, reminding myself which part of the alphabet I am on, and which part of the alphabet I am looking for. 🙂
My weekend was unplanned at the outset and allowed me plenty of time to do whatever I wanted to with it, which amounted to some Internet time, catching up on email, cleaning (of course), and running very few errands.
Slowly but surely, I am also dealing with my daily 4:30 wakeup time, which seems to be the partial responsibility of my daughter who wanders into our room most days at that time of the morning to snuggle up with me. Rather than go back to sleep, well… I just stay awake. Last night, I purposely stayed up till midnight and managed to sleep until 6:00. Maybe I just don’t need that much sleep anymore. 🙂 In any event, I’m in control of the situation, and that’s what matters.

Bad Things Just Happen

Thursday, something not good happened to me. I can’t post it here, not because it is incredibly bad, but because I might have problems with an aspect of my life I can’t afford to have problems with.

I was really ticked off and upset, and in a calmer moment, I asked my friend Jane why things happen the way they do.

Knowing my religious background, Jane said, essentially, “I know where you’re going with this. God is not punishing you for something. Shit happens, and you’re not the only one it happens to.”

Jane knows how to get me back on track. She also knows what I am thinking, a scarey proposition for her, really, don’t you think?

I have offered to have her move in so that I can have ready therapy whenever I need it. It took a bribe of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. 🙂

I’m not sure where I went wrong with my religious (Catholic) training, but sometimes the thought of screwing something up and having to pay for it in some way is overwhelming. I’m guessing that was not the message I was supposed to get, but I suppose the tradition and maybe too many, “God’s gonna get you for that”‘s just happened to scare the shit out of me.

Confess your sins. “And if I don’t?”

The bad thing is that a class I took at my former employer’s said that changing religious beliefs requires some sort of major (impossible) character change.

Now what? More margaritas, I imagine. Alright then.
