When I watch you, want to do you, right where you’re standing yeah

Good morning. It’s Thursday. One more day after today. One more day, and then I can sleep in an extra half an hour. I know, and extra half and hour! I haven’t slept past 7:30 since I got here.

Friday Eve. It’s almost Friyay. I can’t wait.

I’m sure everyone will be back in the office today. I’ve really liked the last two days by myself. I can watch Tabletop Tactics all day as I input stuff into the new inventory system.

Now, I’ll have to, ugh, talk to people again!

But, I have coffee. Crystal is having trouble texting me, so we’re emailing. Hopefully it’ll get fixed soon. I love you lots ❤️

Lockup Library – some of the books I read last year – part 1

Ahh, part one of a three part mini series. Hello book nerds! Welcome back, pull up a chair and settle in. Part one is the biggest of the three parts.

The first pile

It’s a big one isn’t it? In the grand scheme, it’s not a lot, but it’s a start, isn’t it? This is also the only pile of books, that there are one or two books that I won’t reread. I always try and be diplomatic and positive in my book clubs, and reviews, but two of these books won’t be reread. I’m holding on to one of those for Crystal to read when she gets here.

That book? The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

The other book that doesn’t get a reread from me is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

I didn’t enjoy either of these books. And it was a slog to get through them. I shouldn’t have to put that much energy into doing something that I love. Thankfully I only put pocket change into buying them.

The only other one that was meh, was The Escape Artist by Brad Meltzer. It wasn’t great, it wasn’t terrible. But it was like he tried to remake The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in America, and he paired her with a mortician. Odd couple? For sure.

And, if you’ve been following this blog for a while, this pile has my favourite book in it. Go a head, hope you guess my name!

Catch ya later, book nerds!

The only thing that looks good on me is you

Good morning everyone, you know what day it is. you don’t know? Come on, take a guess.

That’s right! Woohoo half way through the week!

I wonder if anyone we’ll actually make it in to work today. I was alone yesterday, and I liked that just fine. I’d take another day like that.

I got the bulk of LiveInventory 2.0 done. The end is in sight. I’ve very excited about it, and can’t wait to show it off.

But now, my friends, it’s coffee time. I love you very much. Enjoy your Wednesday!

Fire in my lungs, can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no

Awake! I woke up briefly at 6, convinced I slept through my alarm. I did not. So I went back to sleep for an hour. I must have been a restful sleep, I don’t feel as groggy as I usually do in the morning.

Coffee has been brewed and the local morning news is on this morning. Apparently the Edmonton Eskimos, have deemed the team name to be racist and all that. The newscasters call them “The Edmonton Team. And the team has put it out there that they have 7 choices for the new name, and wants the public to help rename the team.

It’s back to work today. I’m sure there will be some sort of fuckery. Tuesday’s are always the hardest of the days. Everyone just getting back to work. If I could skip Tuesday’s I would. But I’ll get in there early and do my own thing until everyone else gets in. Then, I’ll have a really good day, and come back to the house, and call it a day.

But for now, just give me no conversation for right now. Let me wake up, drink some coffee. Happy Tuesday everyone! I loves you lots.
