Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend

It’s finally almost the weekend! All that stands between me and 48 hours off, is a simple 8 hour shift at work. Good morning everyone! Welcome to one of the best days of the week – Friyay!

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. I read that there were 3 people on the closing shift the day before, and saw that a coworker decided not to fill the propane. So yesterday, I told my coworker that I was going to fill them, not knowing how many were empty.

I walk out to the propane cage, and notice that there are 6 empty tanks. Well, shit. So I haul them over to the filler , and started. I was working with a good guy yesterday, and he soloed the store while I was outside. So let me back up a little. The rink came with 3 tanks to fill and he was wandering around the store. I told him next time just come in, and tell us that you have tanks to fill, that way we can get started on them right away. His excuse: well you looked busy, I didn’t want to bother you. Sir. Sir, with all due respect, we always look like we’re busy. We work in retail. We can make folding a piece of paper look like that’s what we’re supposed to be doing at that moment. So I went out. Originally he was just going to get one tank filled, but hung out while I did all three. Then I started in on the 6 tanks.

After that, it was just steady in the store for most of the afternoon. There was a hockey game that evening so me and the part timer were trying to figure out when the game started, and when we thought the game would be over. So we missed the post-game rush.

Good times.

But it’s a new day here the sun is shining, and looking at the weather app, we’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown while it snows tomorrow. That means Crystal will have her head down and not looking. Hopefully the app is wrong. But if it isn’t, it is what it is. We need supplies.

But first – coffee. Happy Friyay everyone!

Everyone’s wondering, will you come out tonight

So yeah, after the day that we had, we were pretty tired when we climbed into bed last night. I don’t want to speak for the Beautiful One, but I pretty much crashed last night. until Pippin wanted some attention. I woke up to her crying, so I lifted the blankets and for a while, I believe that she snuggled very close to me. I fell back asleep, so I don’t know how long she stayed.

The burger dinner was pretty good. I didn’t really have too much to eat, I found it really yummy. Almost a little too rare. But I powered through and cleaned my plate. The tots were pretty good as well.

Back to work today. But the weekend is slowly starting to sneak up to us. Two more shifts, and I’ll be at home for a couple of days, then we start all over again.

But first, kitty snuggles and coffee.

The chemical, physical, kryptonite

Here we are. We’re all awake and we’re on Chaucer watch. He either threw up or shat all over the bathroom this morning. He seems a little confused this morning. Course I would be too if I was up a lot of the night getting sick. So we’ll keep an eye on him for the day. I’m thinking he’s probably just really tired and once he lays down, he’ll be ok.

I don’t know though. He’s old.

Day off today, and I don’t plan on doing too much. Work last night wasn’t too bad. Just busy enough to be annoying. But we managed to hold the shop together. My coworker is excited, because today he gets his Hummer out of the garage. It’s been there for about 2 weeks. I sure it’s gonna cost him an arm and a leg. I know when he fixed his classic Camaro it’s was like $7k, and it still broke down again a couple of days later.

Tonight is burger night! Woot!

But first, coffee.
