I’m just a 40-something bearded guy trying to get a fresh start.

Yeah here’s a quarter, call someone who cares

Here’s basically how my day went yesterday: as I was leaving, a local pulled up and was patiently waiting. I pull up behind them, and tell them that we’ve closed at 6. Mind you, it’s 6:25.

“Jesus Christ you guys”.

“If you come back on Monday, you’re more than welcome to pick up an application!”.

“Go fuck yourself”’

Perfection!

It actually wasn’t too bad of a day, after my nerves wore off. Since SaturdayGuy only works Saturdays, he’s not exactly register trained, so I was on the register all shift. Just over 150 people, and I greeted them all.

Today, I’ll just be popping over to Shady Acres to drop off mail, and that sort of thing. I have today to recharge the old battery, because it’s back to work tomorrow morning.

That’s about all that happened. All in all it was a pretty tame day. Busy at times, but the day went pretty quickly, if I’m being honest.

But today is just a day of chores and being restful. My head feels like it’s filled with that expanding foam. It feels like my eyes are gonna pop out the pressure is very high today.

Pass the coffee? Thanks, fam.

I’m talking about everybody getting crunk, crunk

Good morning everyone. It’s morning. It looked like it rained yet again in the early hours. Hopefully it’ll be a nice day out there. I also hope that work will be problem free, and the time will move quickly.

We climbed into bed last night. I sunk into the mattress, and I don’t think I woke up until about 5:30 this morning. It felt like a really good sleep.

Working the Saturday shift today. I’ll be going in a little early to make sure I get the opening stuff done as quickly as possible. But that’s in a few hours, I’m happy to sip on some coffee and watch some murders on Dateline. I’ll probably shower in a little bit.

Chaucer is stalking around looking for a lap, but I’ll be getting up in a sec. So I should go and do my morning stuff. Happy Saturday y’all!

I can say that I like a challenge, and you tell me it’s painless

Hey hey party people. It’s ya boy. Posting in the early afternoon, because work. I’m home now, and managed to miss the grocery delivery, as it was late, but it gave me some to to hit up the auto parts store for rotors and pads for the Hot Mess Express. Hopefully they also ordered the oil filter too. So those parts will he here soonish. Possibly tomorrow.

So I got a shirt yesterday that wasn’t supposed to be here until early July. The shit that’s supposed to be here in June, is taking its time. Since the Canadian postal service doesn’t feel the need to be open 6 days a week like the US, I figure that package will be here probably on Monday or Tuesday.

Where the hell have you been, loca?

I gotta work tomorrow. I know everything will be fine, but I’m still worried, and nervous. I know what needs to be done, and I know how to do it. Saturdays are always a wild card. The last time I worked one, it was pretty dead (because we had three people). This weekend, I think will be a lot more crazy. I’ll go in early to take my time opening. Then I’ll just hold on for dear life. I only have one other guy there, and he only works Saturdays, and doesn’t know the register. So I’ll be on the register all day.

Pray for me.

Tonight is date night. And, I’m going to try not to nap this afternoon. I want to pass the fuck out tonight, and wake up all refreshed and ready for the day. Fingers crossed. Since I ordered the parts for the Hot Mess, we’ll only be able to afford one dinner tonight. Crystal can eat, and I’ll see if the cook will be nice enough to cook me one chicken wing, and two fries.

Good times. By hey, it’s Friyay!

I like my chili in a bowl, Bob Seger, rock & roll football on a Friday night

Ahh, up fresh from a nap. But now I have that post nap slight headache. Welp, you can’t have it all. It was difficult to get up this morning. The alarm scared me, but it was still a struggle.

But I got up, and fed Chaucer, who was pacing around, as if he was happy that I was getting up at a normal time. 4:30am being a normal time for an old man. He’s pretty much tucked himself into bed shortly after dinner.

Work was busier than it’s been today. Every time BossLady had to go outside for a customer, that’s when everyone decided it was time to come in. As soon as she was done outside, the crowds dissipated. It was strange. Even stranger, it happened twice!

I had ordered two shirts and a new phone case from AliExpress on the 6th I think. AliExpress is weird, as it will split the orders up. A shirt and the phone case was expected on the 27th of this month, and one shirt on the 6th of July. Well, the one due on the 6th arrived today. I can’t wait for the shirts, but I kinda need a case on the phone! Maybe they’ll be in tomorrow, or Monday. We’ll see.

We’re having hotdogs and chips for dinner. I’m excited for some dirty water dogs. I even remembered to get some mustard.

Hot Dogs!
