Going Fourth
It was a fairly quiet long weekend, which was good for the most part. I didn't end up doing anything for the fourth...either my friends were out of town or they were doing things that they didn't let me know about. It wasn't that big of a deal really, despite it being well over twenty years, I think, since they outlawed fireworks in the bay area I still have residual grumpiness on the actual fourth that we can only stare up at the sky to watch the pretty (the rest of the year I like fireworks) Admittedly this year, with how dry it has been, I'm amazed there weren't a billion fires from illicit fireworks. Or maybe I just didn't hear about them.
Saturday, due to the lack of actually getting to the grocery store I actually managed to scrounge up enough ingredients to make jam thumbprint sugar cookies. I was sort of proud of that since I was fairly sure originally that there wasn't a damn thing to cook in the house.
Yesterday my friend Charlie was over and we drank beer and watched many episodes of "The All Mighty Johnsons" I continue to be amused by the show.
I'm working a full week this week but next week I have Monday and Tuesday off because I try not to work on my birthday if I can help it. So two long weekends in a row. Though, honestly, things at work are crazy enough that I may have to work on Monday, at least, but I'm going to put my foot down and only work from home that day if I have to.
They have, 99.99% for sure, hired someone for my old job (she has to pass the background check). So once doing training I'll only be back to 1.5 jobs instead of the 2.5 jobs I currently have. I'm looking forward to this immensely as I've been feeling very worn down by just about everything lately...it hasn't been utterly swamped, which is good, though I'd pull on my big boy pants and focus if it were...with it being sort of nebulously way too much work I've been having a hard time wanting to really dig my teeth in stuff that I probably should, instead doing a bit of the "LALALALALA" way of dealing with things even though I know eventually they'll creep up on me. Bad fox, no cookie (which is just as well as they're gone now)
