You give me a reason to live

Here we are, back again for another post. Yep, I could’ve posted this morning, but at 4:30, I couldn’t string two words together if I tried, so I fired that it would be better to post this afternoon when I got back from work.

Work was actually busy this morning. Not with customers, mind you, but with moving stuff around. BossLady had talked to a vendor yesterday, and either today or tomorrow, there will be a couple of racks, and a cooler being delivered to us. We did the prep work this morning, so it should be an easier time when they arrive.

And we have a cooler in the break room again. And of course, that had to be all moved around. Much to our enjoyment when the closers came in, and were very confused.

We laughed at them.

But now I’m at home watching Crystal play Divinity 2. It’s a fun game, I just can’t wrap my head around the angle that that camera is. And you can’t move the camera angle to make it actually better.

But I digress.

We’re either going to have hamburgers or chicken burgers tonight. I think I’m leaning toward buffalo chicken bacon burgers. But we’ll see what the beautiful one would like.

Hate to give the satisfaction, asking how you’re doing now

I’m feeling pretty groggy this morning. I think I had a good sleep. I passed out pretty quickly last night. I don’t think I moved too much until about 5, when I had to get up and go to the bathroom. I climbed back into bed, and then suddenly, the alarm went off.

Yesterday wasn’t actually too bad. I got into work for 7am. We started counting, and pretty much by about 10-10:30, the main part of the counting done. Around 11, we broke for a quick lunch. After the lunch, we started the discrepancy report, and that went rather quickly. I left shortly after that. Not a bad day at all. Probably the easiest day at work. I got to tell customers to leave, and or get out of the store. It’s always a good day when you can tell the people coming in, that no, you can’t actually buy anything today.

I came home and played some No Man’s Sky while Crystal snuggled with Chaucer, and napped while I did some boring “office work”. If I can, I’ll post about it today. It was pretty good. I didn’t have the brain power to actually do other things. I cleaned out my inventory and moved all sorts of stuff around.

Today will be a nice day. Since I had to work yesterday, all the chores will be taken care of this morning. Also! We’ll be having brunch today! Woot, brunch! Other than brunch, there’s not too many plans today. Possibly a nap. A nap would be pretty nice.

It’s slowly starting to warm up here. You see the problem isn’t that it’s warming up, is that it’s too early for it to be warming up. There’s at least one more cold snap out there for us, and one, maybe 2 good snow falls that hasn’t happened yet.

But I’ll take this nice weather for as long as it’s with us. Warm weather in January is a nice thing.

Back to work again tomorrow. It’s a week of opening shifts. That means up early, but also home early. That’s the way I’m thinking of it. Happy Monday everyone.

I never miss a beat I’m lightnin’ on my feet

Just a quick note today. I just got back from the whirl wind inventory at work. It went pretty quickly. We started at 7, and were finished the main count by 10:30. Then around 10:50ish we had our lunch. After lunch we started on the discrepancy report. Finished that about 16 minutes ago.

Home again.

Now I’m gonna play some No Man’s Sky until it’s time to start the wings for dinner.

Tomorrow I’m off, and that’ll be chore day. Yay chores!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean

The call of the alarm clock was loud and clear this morning. It didn’t need to be. I was up around five, and got up to go to the bathroom. I came back in and fell back asleep. It was a light slightly tossy turny. It was a light sleep for the last two hours.

And now, here we are. Coffee in hand.

It wasn’t a bad sleep, mind you. Just too short, and of course the waking up early, only to wake up a couple hours later.

We have stuff to do this morning. I figure around 10, we’ll get up and make our way to SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries, lunch, and anything else we need. I actually have a list. Hopefully, I won’t forget it like the last couple of weeks.

Date night was good. As usual we got there at just the right time. We placed our order, and within minutes two more tables filled up, and suddenly there was orders for about 5 pounds of wings. The food was, like always, very good. We ate, and then came home.

Just a typical Friyay afternoon.

Back to work tomorrow morning. The store is closed, but just about all of us will be there, for inventory. Not going over to Shady Acres this weekend, my dad is still sickly, and my mom is very stressed about that. My dad turns into a huge baby when sick. I’d rather not go over. So we’re not.

Chores and brunch on Monday, I might do a load of sweaters this afternoon after our outing.

She just yanked up on the emergency brake, dropped her seat back, and told me to lie on top of her

Good morning all you party people! It’s Friyay! All that stands between me and a partial weekend is just one shift today. Sunday I have inventory. First inventory at the new job. Hopefully it’ll go quicker than the previous job. We should be done about 2-3 pm on Sunday.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Slightly busy, but not really. That gave us time to clean a little bit. I asked my coworker, which I have to nickname them all so y’all have some idea who I’m talking about – who would you fan cast as yourself if HBO made a tv series about working at work. Maybe Crystal figured out who would be go to play me.

Other than that, it was business as usual. We went through our checklists, and managed to leap out of work on time. Even with a last minute customer. It was my coworkers father, so that was an easy transaction.

Poof, I was home.

And now, here we are. Happy Friyay everyone!
