Sober Month 11 (Day 333)

I didn't think that I would get to work on time this morning. I am typically scheduled to work 11am to 8pm. But this morning I was scheduled 7am to 4pm. Last night when I got off I had bought a Sugar Free Red Bull to put next to my bed so when the first alarm goes off I could slam that real quick, hoping that would help me wake up. I've read online that having multiple alarms to help you wake up is counterproductive (wow, can't believe I spelled that correctly the first time.) But I needed to make sure that I got to work. So I had set an alarm for every 15 minutes starting right at 6am. But yeah, I was able to wake up. But I didn't have time to get a proper breakfast so I went in a few moments early and grabbed a pack of hot dogs.

And since my start time was four hours earlier than I normally would have been my “lunch break” was the time I would normally would have had breakfast so I had the last serving of the Mexican Alfredo that I made last week.

Damn I was dragging all day at work. I didn't take the time to post last night because I was wanting to go to bed to make sure that I was able to wake up this morning. But still I was just dead tired all day long.

Most of the day went by quite smoothly. Even though I was almost brain dead. But good lord people just didn't want to do their jobs this morning. I felt kind of bad for the Backup Customer Service Manager because the schedule for the week after next week is due tomorrow, but it hadn't been started yet. The actual Customer Service Manager was on vacation last week and Backup manager didn't realize that she didn't do any of it before she had left. The frustration that I had was since she was working on the schedule she needed a couple of the people who were supposed to be cashiers over the day be in customer service so she could work on the schedule. But even after Backup Manager left for the day one of the people who were supposed to be a cashier was up at the desk doodling on scrap papers it was 3 in the afternoon a couple of days before Thanksgiving and she was the only cashier scheduled to be open so I had to repeatedly ask her to open her register and she kept insisting that Backup Manger told her that she could be at the desk. The cashier told me that she's going to talk to the manager about it. I told her go for it, but I still needed her to open the register.

I saw a customer getting arrested. Rumor has it she was throwing bottles of spices at random people and somebody called the police. As she was being arrested she was screaming at the police that they can't arrest her because, “she didn't steal anything” Well, that's not the only reason that somebody could be arrested. The trans person said that it is unfair that the suspect was just getting arrested because, “she was just yelling at the police” Well, that's not the only thing that was going on. I mean, if you're in a situation with the police where you're in the wrong, yelling at the police really isn't going to help your situation. There's also the possibility of public intoxication as somebody recognized her as somebody they used to smoke dope with. 

And again since I was in so early I was getting off at the time I would have normally would have had lunch, thankfully when I baked the Hormel pork loin roommate didn't want his so it was in the fridge, I told him first come first served on it and it was still there so I claimed it for "lunch"

This afternoon Roommate as irritating. He spent four hours solid screaming at Call of Duty (not sponsored) and he was just screaming the same three or four words every time he was shot. Every time he was shot in a shooting game. 

I'm giving up, for now, on the AI Financial Projection. I'm just so tired arguing the "Absolute Idiot" What I'm asking it really isn't that hard. But it just cannot figure out what I'm saying. All I'm asking for it to do is have a $50 a week allowance, so each week I'll have $50 in my checking account after bills and groceries are paid for. Anything more than $50 goes into Bill Savings until that gets to the savings cap, then it goes to Project Savings, until that gets to the savings cap, then it goes to General Savings. Then each night I round the spending off. So let's say when I get home for the night and my Bank Balance is $37.45. I'll transfer that 45 cents to the savings that I was wanting to build at the time. I didn't think that was that complicated. But I kept having to correct the AI of what it was doing and what I was trying to do. "Oh, you have an allowance pool? Okay, I'll subtract the spending from the allowance pool" "oh, the spending is coming from the checking account, okay, no need to subtract from the allowance pool" "Oh, the spending is supposed to come from checking and savings? okay, 50% from checking and 50% from allowance" "Oh, all of the spending is supposed to come from the checking and allowance, okay, none of the transfers are working now because we didn't know how they were supposed to work." and I'd go the same rules over, and over and over. And lately I was in a bit of a loop where I would finally get it to get the logic to work. And then the projection would say an error I'd post the error into Chat GPT and it'd give me a "fixed code" and I would put it into the colab, and it would give me the same error. I'm done with it for now. I was basically building Quicken into Google Colab anyway (not sponsored) the AI projection was a bit more flexible, if it would have started working, but I'm done for now. 

also, haha 333 days sober
