It’s a race and there ain’t no room for someone in second place

Shawshank, November 5, 2025

Podrick let us (me) sleep in! I only really felt him once. He landed on my hip, and quickly moved on with what he was doing. He came back up on the bed, and was close to me. I opened an eye and looked at the clock: 7:44. Time to get up. I gave him some loves, an heaved myself out of bed.

Time to greet the day.

A spike indeed. I had over 190 visitors yesterday! I’ve probably had about 400ish over the last two weeks. Crystal thinks it’s probably bots doing whatever bots do. But it’s still crazy, that bots are so interested in my little corner of the ‘net.

Work was less chaotic than the day before. We had just about 300 people come through our doors and buy something. Yesterday, I walked into work and saw just about every employee outside staring at the ground – a nozzle fell off the gas pump. About 5 litres of fuel had spilt all over the ground. The acting manager was fumbling to try and get a picture to send to the GM. I pulled out my phone and snapped the picture and then it to the GM with the caption “now what”. Within about 45 minutes, the boss got here and fixed it. Woohoo! It actually takes something to break to get it fixed. Nothing proactive allowed!

Well howdy, friends. It’s a slightly bright, gray day out there. Still windy out. I think we have a couple of more windy days. BREAKING NEWS: Pippin snuck into bed this morning, and curled up and snuggled me. If the alarm had gone off this morning, that wouldn’t have happened….

When there’s one day here, and the next day gone

Sleep came fast, and I loved it. I woke up just a few minutes before the alarm went off. The bed was so nice and toasty. I didn’t want to leave it this morning. But I must. BossLady should be in today. I was expecting her yesterday, but she was…
