Long week
I am finally home after my long week, and once I finish work tomorrow afternoon, I'll have nothing planned until Monday, and after Tuesday, my week in theory is free. I know I'll have to take my car in, as my check engine light went on a couple days ago and has yet to turn off, which concerns me, but it seems okay for now. My name is not Penny; I do not plan on driving my car like that until it just up and dies.
I'm so tired. We've had two work things this week, and I ended up riding with someone out to the first one because it was miles away and that was the day the light first went on; it didn't seem wise to drive out there in case something happened, even though it's closer to my house than work. Oh well. I did get to ride with my boss and we had some interesting conversations, plus I've learned some new roads to get around places. They weren't faster, as it seemed like everyone else was taking them, too, but they're alternatives should I need them. And, funnily enough, a portion of that route took me down the same roads I used the last time I'd gone to a work thing. Interesting. I'm getting to know the far northeast corner of Kendall County, apparently. If you remember the adult bookstore and the no-tell motel? I was near there again.
Tonight's was much closer to work, but because of how everything worked out today, I never ended up clocking out. I had maybe 15 minutes between when I actually finished what I needed to do and when we were supposed to leave where I could eat lunch, and since I ended up having to cart things around, I just went screw it. I'll just tell a supervisor tomorrow that my time clock needs adjustment. I basically worked an 11-hour day. And, well, I'm still getting paid now! Hey! Tonight went okay; we spend a lot of time talking to people, and you always worry that you're explaining things correctly to them. You know what you're talking about, but can you get that across to someone else? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There's a fear of giving too much information, so that it overwhelms, or else not enough. And, well, when you're tired, you're not always sure the path you're taking is straight. Am I making sense? It sounds good in my head...but am I verbalizing it properly? When you get quizzical looks, it's best to stop and regroup, and that usually helps. Also, going home and relaxing. That's where I am now. Goodnight.
