He asked me if the Seltzer water had a lot of sodium in it because the doctor told him that he was retaining a lot of water. The seltzer cans say “Low Sodium” Roommate said that he's going to quit drinking my seltzer water. Which works for me because I was buying those to quit drinking beer. Looking at the Keto Day count and the Sober Day counts kind of makes me go on a bender to reset both numbers and sync them up. I know that this is an unwise idea. But ever since I got the idea I can't shake it. “Oh, come on. One day wouldn't hurt” “It's not like you'll go back to buying cases of beer a day” But I do know ...

I'm a bit annoyed at Cox Communications. I try to pay all of my bills on the 4th Thursday of the month. But they don't release their statement until the 24th, today is the 23rd. So I'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish paying my bills. 

Grrr. 

Who I'm really annoyed with is Verizon. Every month since I got this phone back in September the bill had been $140.92 each month. But today the bill was $141.18. When I click on the “examine bill changes” it just says “increased $0.26” No reason, it's just more this month, than it was last month. And the estimated bill for next couple of months is going to be $152.29. No reason, no explanation, just. Oh, by the way, that'll be an extra 12 bucks a month, thanks. I'm sure if I looked over the bill I would see what changed. But it would have been nice if they had sent an email or something to give a heads up.

Despite the bills I was in a jovial mood during the first half of the day. It was a bit of a shame everybody around me was so damned pissy. I was letting the guy running SCO out for his lunch break. And me running SCO and being in a good mood is a strange combination. But a guy came up and asked me if the machines were taking money. A legitimate question; sometimes the machines dispensers or receivers are broken. But today everything was going great. And after I told him they are working. He asked me if they took cash. I made the mistake of making a joke of saying, “Yes, but only American” He got ALL KINDS of cranky, he started growling about MAGA. Dude seriously, it was a joke. That was one example, but all morning everybody just took every bit of sarcasm or ribbing just way too seriously. I wanted to ask some people if they needed help finding the laxatives.

I was kind of the lunch guy for the first half of the day. And after I was at SCO I carried out for a bit and I noticed that there was kind of a silvery gray filter over everything. There was a light cloudy cover and I'm pretty sure that it was cold enough to have frost on everything. But I'm willing to bet that it was just a layer of salt caking everything. That thought really put me in the mood to see a good Kansas spring thunderstorm. Like the kind of storm that you're supposed to be running for the basement, but you're actually out on the porch watching. But I think that's going to take another couple of months for that to happen. But hey at least the sun is starting to stay up a bit longer.

This morning the only thing that hurt was my left Achilles Tendon. Running self checkout and carrying out really didn't bother my feet. But when I got onto a register my feet were NOT happy about the little dance that I have to do to ring up the items that come through the line. I have to wobble back and forth and mostly stand still. And walking around really keeps my feet from hurting.

I was glad that the package was delivered today. I ran home during lunch because Roommate didn't respond when I texted home that the package was there. I was a bit concerned because when I got the email saying that it was delivered it showed a picture of the box sitting on the stoop and the perspective of the picture made it look like a really small box. Not a box that could hold two pairs of pants and the extruder that I had ordered. When I got home it was a big enough box. And Roommate was napping in his room with his dog. 

After eating a bowl of soup I went down to the basement to mess with the printers. Turns out that the bigger printer does have a stripped out screw. When I was done poking at it I went back upstairs and was instantly reminded why I prefer cats to dogs. Because Dog was constantly jumping up on me. Cats can retract their claws, dogs can not. This damned dog kept jumping up on be digging his claws into my diaphragm and on my sides as I turned away from him.  If a cat likes you it rubs its face on you, if a dog likes you it apparently tries to claw out your guts while screaming their lungs out. 

For the second half of the day it felt like I had got a knuckle punch into the center of my abdomen. And I was a bit less jovial in the second half because it seemed like everybody was trying to get in my way. Someone would ask me for help with something. I am a Supervisor so it's my job to help them with things, but I have to wait for "traffic" to clear before I could approach them. While they constantly shouted my name. Seriously if I'm making eye contact with you, you can stop screaming my name after the seventh or eighth time. I wasn't really as mentally as tired as I would have normally have been. But my feet were glad when I was heading home.

On the way home I picked up some super glue with the steaks. I've seen online that you can use super glue with an Allen Key to get a hex screw out. I do remember trying to use rubber bands and gripping agents on this screw so I think that this is the last chance to get this screw out. I do know that I'm going to be holding my breath when I put the glue onto the screw's hole. I would hate to try to put super glue on the screws head and then end up super gluing the entire screw together. I was going to mess withe the printers more after work. But my feet were really telling me that it was time to sit down. I am glad that I planned on baking the steaks. Because I don't think my feet would have let me cook anything more fancy. I do think I baked them for too long though.
