Someone either really likes their job... or is one customer complaint away from being fired.

So the work day is winding down. I appreciate the hugs and support from the folks here. I truly appreciate it. Tomorrow brings the office holiday party and you all know how drama free they can be (NOT). I doubt I’ll get a chance to pop in to say “morning” so hope y’all have a good night and a better tomorrow.

Who knows, our eyes may lock over a piece of apple pie and we instantly know each other’s secret life…

No.
Dang it.
Your office holiday party sounds so much better than mine.

Good evening everybody! I hope you all are doing well! My RL has been keeping me busy for the past few weeks, so I'm not on as often. I just wanted to come by and send some love to you all!!

Hey lady. Was missing you. Glad to hear you’re busy (good), but so busy you can’t chill with us (bad!).

Glad to hear you’re well. Was beginning to wonder(er).

 

[Wonderer67]

Good Morning everyone
Today is a much better day. Thanks for all the well wishes & prayers. It is greatly appreciated.
It's sunny here and the forecast temperatures looks good too so we're going out antiqueing in Greenville Ohio (a short drive) if Mrs Rj is up to it.
Talk later...

Glad you’re feeling better.

Hope you had a great day antiquing with the missus!! We like old stuff too! I’d hesitate to call them antiques…

 

[Wonderer67]

Agreed let's have a great day. Doing a double this week with the trainer gonna be great. May be even able to walk when I'm done lol

Don’t let him or her get too rough on ya.

Unless you like that kinda thing….

 

[Wonderer67]

Some of those things are like the cars I drool over, I'll never afford one. It's a rich collectors market for a lot of that stuff!

I agree. I’m never gonna get rich w my gun collection.

But it never hurts to buy something old school every now and again.

Well... It makes me feel like I'm progressing but it do hurt more at my age lol

 

[Wonderer67]

Thanks buddy! Hope your procedure went as well as mine!

The blood panel came back mostly good. Cholesterol a few points over what they like to see but the concern was my glucose was high…diet exercise…blah blah blah…. I get the CT scan mañana so that will be the big reveal. When I checked in they were like, it’s going to be a month…then he said, “oh, just had a cancelation!” I can’t believe I’ve been able to knock this stuff out before Christmas. Oh, and my PA was cute as a bug!

Your Fourth Day Christmas Z…

Your timing is good, young soldier. Glad you were able to get in there for your CT scan. Amazing luck on both appointments. Hoping for the best.

Yeah, it never hurts to have a cute medical tech or nurse or doctor work on you…

Yep same way it feels in the summer when the days start getting shorter. The season is over before it started.
When I moved down here to Virginia I was shocked at the difference in day light in winter. Our days are close to 30 minutes longer than NJ.
I’m a weird one and like it to get dark early in the cooler months. The hour change is simple to trick for me. I just go to bed the night before the change so I wake up on new time the same time I would any other day. If I wake up early or late going to sleep an hour earlier usually does the trick.
So far sleep is good for me. I attribute it to when I was young. My parents made us go to sleep early. Like 730 early still light in summer time. We were never ever sent to our rooms for punishment. You bedroom was only a place for good things and sleep. Now being off two years I sleep when body says sleep which is usually between 9 and 10. Wake up anywhere from 630 to 11. When I go back to work I am going to miss getting up when my body clicks on.
I will also say since last year when i quit drinking coffee, I feel like I sleep even better. I have less headaches too.

Usually a simple trick for me too. Most years, I just tell myself it’s an hour earlier an hour later and don’t worry about it.

But this year, my internal clock kept on waking me up at three and 4 AM. Can’t do much about that. I’m typically a 5 AM riser, so when it was 5 AM, but it’s really 4 AM and my body is saying it’s time to get up… not much I can consciously do about it.

Any excuse in a storm, right???

 

[Wonderer67]

Yes, sniping at someone.
And while the rest of the world hunts wild snipe, we in the US know the Snipe Hunt as a practical joke. That's what comes to mind for me whenever a snipe hunt is mentioned.

It’s the only hunting I do!

(Except for the occasional squirrel or raccoon…)

You must be channeling my dog. Her clock never reset either... Either that or my dog is channeling you!

Now I don't know who to blame!

 

[Wonderer67]

Ok folks, I’m just not feeling it today. I found out yesterday that my boss will be out for another two months so I get to do his job as well as mine. It’s not his fault, he needs to get his health issues squared away, it’s just that I did the job for 8 months before he was hired and I haven’t seen much out of him in the 9 months he has filled the seat. Now I’ve got to pay catch up, right when the team is starting their holiday vacays. I can’t get into the Christmas spirit, God knows I’ve tried but it’s not happening this year. I’ll put on a happy face for my family, but I don’t see the joy this year. Between work, the holidays, and this new sleep schedule the VA wants me to do I’m exhausted. I’m not a risk to myself or to others, I’m just mentally and physically worn out.

The holidays are bad enough.

But when there’s work stress heap on top of that… sorry, bro.

 

[Wonderer67]

What? Leg Day... Times Two?!?
Ok then... best of luck to you!

Fuckin classic skit!

You’ve had a hell of a week, I hope you can get some downtime at Christmas to unwind and decompress.
