The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Today was a busyish and somewhat frustrating day. I decided to change my ISP so EVERYTHING that is connected to wifi needs to be reset. I've done some but not everything by a long shot! I might have dropped enough F-💣s to make some of you really proud of me! 🤭🤭

IDK why it has to be so hard to change everything. I think I'll be happy when everything is done. I guess I'm just a cranky bitch today. 🙄😤

Get good sleep tonight, spoonies! Those of you just waking up, enjoy your Friday! 💖✨💝
 
It’s never easy. Esp being a manager of others.

Your situation was delicate.

It’s tough and it’s the reason I’m no longer a people manager. I like just managing me, my projects and where I can control my work and work output the most.
That is probably whiy you are a gentleman farmer. How is the wood shed? It is probably time for the Mrs. to take you there.
 
This right here, is the definition of a work weasel.

Someone who thinks their shit don’t stink, doesn’t do anything and probably takes credit for shit that they didn’t do.


That's a management/office type work weasel. The field type do lousy work, don't check their lousy work, makes excuses for their lousy work, and then leave it for someone else to fix.
 
Today was a long day.

I had an early meeting - went well. Traveling to Toronto next week for work and making sure project team are crisping their messaging and alignment. Found a few gaps.

Then had a last minute exercise on an other project that was very unnecessary. My turn to be blunt:

“Why are we playing defense on this topic? This is last minute BS for something that should have been worked out ages ago. This is unplanned change, not planned change.

Now I am working late to deal with an issue that is not of my making.”

So goes my day. I don’t like complaining about work so I’ll stop.


And this is why Bo digs 14 feet.
 
Oh, no! Take care of yourself. Try not to work so hard. Rest more. Drink lots of fluids. 🫂🫂


Does gin count???

Came home and crashed and slept all afternoon and night. Up since 0400 or so. The cough is looser now. Got some Dayquil to drink, too. I do throw away the silly little measuring cups that come with teh bottle. that's like selling shot glasses with the cheap gin when the user is just going to unscrew the top and toss it.

Sometimes we all need a safe place to vent our frustrations about work, life etc.
 
Up. yeah . . . no . . . . I'll go in and weasel for a few minutes. I'ma go home early because fuck this fucking shit. i'm going to get left on the last job, the one I start at the end of this month. They're not going to give me any help. No matter, I know what needs to happen. I'm not going to get any help getting my little contractor kid back, either, but I already know the line I'm taking with that one. I will get what I want no matter who gets put into the weasel grinder to make it happen. I guess that this job will take the rest of the year, and then I'll ride off into the sunset, maybe.

That's gotta be the work equivalent of sand in your swimsuit for 6 years! 😖

Congratulations! 🎉
I'm always suspect when the ratio of seats to applicants is so high. Hope you got good'uns with you.

🫂 Hope it's sorted soon so you can put it in the rearview!!

I don't recall my first, first dance w/ someone not a relative... I was too young to recall and any that would are no longer around to ask.

However, we had the square dance and ballroom dance class in 8th grade. Ours was after school once a week. I was actually really looking forward to learning the dances.

First class - instructor takes attendance. Story of my life: "Since there are more girls than boys, we'll need some of you taller girls to dance the boy's part."
Me: FUUUUCK! I'm never gonna learn how to dance proper

Second class - on crutches. Guess who managed to dislocate a knee in a soccer game over the weekend? After about 3 weeks of my doing nothing but standing on the sidelines (yeah - no chair. thanks, assholes)... I finally pled my case enough to my mom who got me out of the rest of the class. Champion, mum!

To this day, if I do any sort of partner dancing, I need a very strong lead... or whomever they are needs to suck it up and just follow. Only twice have I had a lead strong enough for the task.

Doubt I'd recall any of the dances anymore. It's been 3+ decades since I've danced any of them.
My late wife and I took dancing lessons. We had so much fun especially at family weddings where we could show off a bit. I miss those moments.

Thanks as just woke up around 430. The old dog was responsible. I hope today is less stressful. 🫂
 
I just missed Dr. Tyler for a moment. We used to joke about being sick with a bug and other "diverse diseases," which we'd call "divers' 'zeezes." And I just realized that I don't have anyone to tell that to as I suffer with my divers' 'zeezes.
These moments are good as it’s healthy grieving. I have them still for my late wife like spontaneous swing dancing in the kitchen.

For the most part we have a good council. Myself and another guy are returners. 2 new council people.... they seem eager
 
Aren't there opportunities for ppl who aren't on the council? She should stay and volunteer. Maybe then next year she could be elected. Or is she just an entitled one?
If she would have stayed there also was a position on sewer board.... thank god she left because she ...is weird.... too be honest the reason she is overlooked is because she does nothing to support the village except show up to council make motions and collect a paycheck... thank god the mayor is in charge of decisions. Sewer board needs strong people because ot is a wild west show.... for instamce the office manager made the decision on his own to move 400000 dollars to a different account by talking to 1 person on the board. ... myself and another girl were like ummmmm dont do that again.... the others were like la di dah.... the sewer board suppprts 2 villages so the board has 3 people on each board appointed by the respective mayors from each village. The other village act like they are in charge... the other girl from our village is an idiot and goes along with whatever.... i would have cried if i would jave lost the smart strong girl and gained another idiot
