Second Sunday in a row of running out of work an hour or two early, leading to my second week in a row of spending my first couple of shifts staying late trying to claw back the lost hours before I could start adding any overtime to my paycheck. This morning was the first time this week I could have gotten any overtime -- and there was enough work ( Read more... )

Just a little while ago I installed a series of reverse lookup apps and tested them out on my recent call log. The one I kept was the one that was able to tell me the number that called six times in the last week was a local roofer, rather than being stumped or demanding a ridiculous amount of my own personal data before it would function ( Read more... )

So Monday I ran out of gas in mid-afternoon. In fact, I was about to vacuum and go visit Grandma before coming home to laze about for the rest of the evening (after a productive morning and early afternoon of gardening and cleaning the rabbit cage), but I sat down for just a moment to rest my feet (around 3:30) and woke up when Mom got home from ( Read more... )

So I had a reasonable Sunday (an hour of overtime and managing to hit the gym that afternoon after coming home for a nap), leading to a very productive Monday (planting bulbs and doing other gardening while letting the bunnies play outside all morning, getting everything done on the "to do" list but dishes, the grocery run and visiting Grandma).

So I caught up on sleep Sunday night, but I also spent all day Monday reading (not even getting my nails done, which I could and should have) and Tuesday morning as well, meaning I had to cram a weekend's worth of tasks into Tuesday afternoon and evening. So I had the gym session and posting this entry held over to deal with on Wednesday, and ( Read more... )

So Saturday night's shift at work was weird, in that computer work was being done at our usual building and the power was going to be out for sections of the night, so they moved us to a nearby location and hauled some computers over and occasionally work was shuttled back and forth to the main building. I was a little bit late arriving but ( Read more... )

Got to work last night on time, only to discover that my phone wasn't in my pants pocket. The good news was that I still carry my old MP3 player around in my purse, along with a charger, so I didn't have to work in silence all night. The bad news being that I wasn't completely sure my phone hadn't fallen out of my pocket and been lost somewhere ( Read more... )

Yesterday was not a good day, starting when I discovered someone had run off with the charger I keep on my desk at work for when my phone starts to run out of juice near the end of my shift. It was neon pink, so it would be both easily spotted and readily identifiable. I took a quick walk around checking to see if whoever had "borrowed" it had ( Read more... )

Oh, those assholes at Bank of America. So they had failed to correctly handle the Netflix account someone set up using my debit card in January's data breach, and then when I called them about it a couple of weeks ago they had cancelled my current debit card as a kneejerk reaction (despite having already issued me a new card in January when the ( Read more... )

Being annoyed by family right now, since Mom arranged for my sister to cut Mom's sister's hair and for some damned reason decided they needed to meet up at our place on a Saturday afternoon instead of one of them going to the other's house. So I was aggravated during my watching of the last couple of eps of Daredevil by Mom bustling around trying ( Read more... )
